...AND CHEAPER...:
A Smart, Sleek, Money-Saving Thermostat : The father of the iPod talks about his next-generation thermostat (Megan Gambino, 9/03/13, Smithsonian.com)
Tony Fadell and Matt Rogers, both former Apple executives, founded Nest Labs in May 2010 with a mission to build a better thermostat. The startup took shape as many do, in a garage in Palo Alto, California. The pair tinkered for over a year, until commercially releasing the Nest Learning Thermostat, which takes an active role in saving energy around the house.The device--about the size and shape of a hockey puck--has a sleek, modern look that is reminiscent of the Apple family of products. That's not by coincidence. Fadell led the charge to design the first 18 generations of iPod, with Rogers at his side, and they both went on to develop the iPhone.
