....oh yeah

That's what I was thinking...give the poor girl a break. Perhaps she did a lot of porn in her previous gigs in front of the camera and it just became a "habit".

What if I want the heat to come on 1/2 hour BEFORE I get up so I get up to a warm bedroom.

Do I have to get up 1/2 hour before my usual time for a week to train it to come on before I get up. I have a programmable thermostat that I just set to 1/2 hour before I get up. As far as programming a thermostat - if I can do it - ANYONE can do it.

Granted, It looks cool. But I'm not sure that it is a major improvement over available programmable thermostats.

It seems to have a programmable scheduler but I'm not hearing about it much in interviews. It shows it on one of their youtubes.

I want one so bad.

I've gotta admit I'm intrigued, so I've been reading up on this thing. I haven't made up my mind yet, but it looks like they've sold out their pre-order allotment. Bestbuy shows it out of stock and Nest's homepage has switched from "pre-order" to "reserve."

One of my big questions is how my 155 lb dog will affect its ability to determine whether anyone is home, lol

This was on my list of "stuff other people should fix" so I'll wait for the reviews and probably jump on it in a couple weeks. Even if it isn't perfect it should serve notice to another industry that they need to get off their lazy butts.

Next up, hopefully...electronic faucets that serve up the right temperature.

Ordered one on Tuesday. I should get it mid-November. I am very anxious to see how well it will work. Everything I've read seems to tell me it's everything I've been looking for.

I just ordered mine. Seems that people are happy with the version 2.0 software so I thought I would give it a try.

The interviewer is so aggrivating. She does the "mmm, hmm" about 500 times. It was so distracting and all I did was focus on it.

It drove me nuts. It wouldn't be so bad if the "mmm, hmm" correlated to him having just completed saying something, but it was in the middle of sentences. I only made it about a third of the way through before it was so annoying I had to click stop. I mean, it's like she doesn't understand what he's saying... or care... "-So what color should we make it? -mmm, hmmm. I looked at 18 different finishes and thought– mmm, hmm."

To be fair, if that woman didn't say "mmm-hmm" she wouldn't have any apparent purpose in the video at all.

Why havent people figured out you dont need to say "Siri,_______"

Because people near me don't shut up when that double-beep occurs.
