  • Last week, Google shelled out $3.2 billion for smart-thermostat manufacturer Nest Labs of Palo Alto CA. The Nest thermostat is designed to learn when and how one likes to heat one's home. After a 12-day set-up period, the device has learned one's basic schedule, is able to turn the heating on and off intelligently. In the process, it attempts to save energy by only firing up the boiler when it is truly needed.
