Marketplace Tech for Monday, February 16, 2015
First up, we look at the state of modern apprenticeships, as the Department of Labor prepares a series of grants to push forward "the other college, but without the debt" in the tech sector. Then, Tesla's earnings call last week wasn't stellar, but it came with this nugget: Elon Musk says the company is working on batteries that could power your home. Turns out the company is well-placed to innovate outside of electric cars if it can cut costs. Finally: We start our series on the tension between Hollywood and Silicon Valley by looking at "Black Mirror."
