With the gaming world reinvigorated by the introduction of two new consoles, Occulus has announced $75 million in funding to bring virtual reality headsets to the masses.
Meanwhile, AT&T’s CEO mentioned the end of smartphone subsidies, which ended up being a hot topic of debate this week.
And as we open our homes to friends and loved ones over the holidays, it’s worth looking at the next generation of home automation gadgets.
We discuss all this and more on the TechCrunch Gadgets Podcast, featuring John Biggs, Matt Burns, Jordan Crook, and Darrell Etherington.
Enjoy!
