From my limited watching of (I think it was) Crunchyroll, they only seemed to have 2-3 ads to play so each adbreak was a repeat of the last one. This got old very quickly bad ads are annoying but endless repeats make it unwatchable.

There are already internet enabled light bulbs and they have Security issues. Now in this case it appears that its just breaking into the bulbs mesh network and the manufacturer has released a fix, but most users won't apply it and what happens if they drop the product or just go out of business? The threat could easily more like the WiFi Kettle hack

I think the more general problem with the IoT is that it's putting a vast population of ageing, unpatched and unmaintained computers onto the Internet running applications who's sole aim is to get them to market ASAP. I would expect a fridge to last anything up to 15 years I don't see Microsoft supporting Windows 98, LED lightbulbs should last 25 years and at end of life would be running the equivalent of Windows 3.1. Probably the only good thing is that at least its not a monocluture :-(
