Do you love having a "connected" car; one with GPS, Bluetooth, even a vehicle-immobilization system? Would you love it as much if you knew hackers could access your automobile through any one of those or other electronic features?
That's just one of the topics Up to Date guest host Brian Ellison talks about on Monday with the Techsperts. They also look at what it takes for a mobile technology device to win the government's stamp of approval, explain why passwords are weaker than ever, check in on the latest from the social networks, and give you their picks for cool gadgets under $50.
