Nothing to do with heating
 A friend from the U.K. sent me this link and asked me what I thought of the product. Be sure you watch the short video before making up your own mind.

Most efficient?
 Nice, short article here about the the most energy-efficient cities in the world. I've been to eight of them.

Hey, with cheap energy, why bother fixing the windows? |

And along those lines
 Hackers have broken into Nest to find a way to keep Google from watching what you're doing while Nest is watching what you're doing. I think this is a bit much because if Google doesn't already know what you're doing, Amazon certainly does. Smile! |

Where there is a problem
 Someone will find a business. Here's another example of that. Did you know you can also make phone calls with a smart phone? There's an app for that! |
