and don't forget the other nest product, the smoke detector that disables itself and ceases to sound an alarm if people move around in front of it too much

I thought it worked as it was supposed to but someone decided that the whole idea was unsafe

e: yep http://www.cpsc.gov/en/Recalls/2014/Nest-Labs-Recalls-to-Repair-Nest-Protect-Smoke-CO-Alarms/

quote:

Hazard:
Activity near the product during a fire can prevent the alarm from immediately sounding when the Nest Wave feature is enabled.

e2: according to nest themselves it was too easy to activate

quote:

During internal testing, we discovered that movements near Nest Protect that are not intended as a wave can be misinterpreted by the Nest Wave algorithm. If this occurs during a fire, this could delay the alarm going off. So, we have removed this feature.

which is a shame because it's the only thing I can think of that would make me buy an expensive smoke alarm

i saw an expensive one at the store the other day. it was smaller and more compact, and not cheap and plastic looking, and it said it had a 10 year life or something

ugh finding movies is such a pain these days. if only you could look at a movie poster that you have framed on your wall, and then you could be watching that movie!!!! or maybe just a trailer of it, idk.





anyway the cool part is that google glass makes it easy to find your movies so that you can just worry about sitting down and looking at a large screen

its about as good as a comedy movie gets these days

the overall plot and social commentary are not great but it has a lot of little sadly prophetic moments like that that are all anyone remembers about it anyway
