Will.I.Am buys smart home company in apparent attempt to get into people's houses

Will.I.Am is trying to get into your house. The Black Eyed Pea has already attempted, mostly unsuccessfully, to get onto people's wrists, around their phones and into their cars. But now he appears to be launching perhaps his most ambitious project: running people's homes. His company, i.am, has bought connected home startup Wink. That firm makes an app and a hub that are intended to talk to all the other smart products inside a person's home, unifying them all under one operating system.
