I've been avoiding buying a Nest because of reports of sensitivity to RFI, RF, and ESD, and reports of really unfriendly failure modes: failure to heat when really cold; failure to shut off heating when away; these seem very serious to me. I really like the idea, but it seems the execution might leave a bit to be desired as yet.

I don't put ultimate faith in Amazon reviewers by any means (tho I r one, lol), but this is worth looking over

Submission + - Supreme Court Refuses to Hear Newegg Patent Case

NormalVisual writes: "It's a really tough time to be a patent owner", said Soverain Software, LLC president Katharine Wolanyk, after the Supreme Court refused to hear their appeal after the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit invalidated three of Soverain's shopping cart patents. Soverain had sued Newegg for allegedly infringing the patents in question, and had won in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas. Newegg later had the decision overturned on appeal, with the court ruling that the patents in question were obvious, and thus invalid.

I'll add that the Libraries don't seem to be 100% compatible with even MS's Office. On my old computer, navigating to a Library would consistently crash Outlook. On my current computer, it still happens, though only very rarely. It's probably some odd filename or shortcut, but it sure is annoying.

They are so consistent with this crap lately, I'm starting to wonder if it isn't a strategy: let the consumers beta test and debug the next big corporate version. The last corporate version was XP, now it seems to be 7. If I wasn't being ironic, I'd suggest that the next corporate version will be Windows X.
