Marketplace Tech for Tuesday, November 18, 2014
On today's show: Samsung will again provide the majority of chips for Apple iPhones and iPads. It may come as a surprise to consumers who think of the companies as competitors, but it reveals that a big part of Samsung’s business is the guts inside electronics. Plus, Jeremy Kees, Associate Professor of Marketing at Villanova University, stops by to talk about the Oxford English Dicitonary’s 2014 word of the year—“vape”—and the health risks that come with the growing e-cigarette industry. And Editor-In-Chief of Reviews at CNET Lindsey Turrentine talks about three gadgets—low-end, mid-range, and high-end—to consider giving as gifts this year.
