   Kuddos!!! Just been to the website. Wow, that’s the next level, isn’t it.

   I will show it in Europe. Does it, or can it, or would it, or will it connect with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI). There are many initiatives in Europe to visibly measure and show "how sustainable you are", like "People, Planet, Profit" dashboards and such, but to make them consistent, thy all comply to the GRI.

   Impressive. and I second the intention to put all the best technology and brains for such a cause. Erik: wish you *all the best*

   I raise I glass here for you, to your success.
   OK, I raise it for the two of you!

   Btw… I think it’s not only the design of the device that has been *inspired* by the iPod , for being born of the same person… but the name…

   Pod… Nest…

   Wonderful! Congratulations Erik and the rest of the team!

   Nest will one day be offered to the rest of the world in Celcius!

   I read everything on the Nest website, even in the Nest Facebook.

   I’m sure (F -32)5/9 is a trivial addition to the programing of this device.

    "…much like the original iPod that Nest-founder Tony Fadell developed at Apple." Or the old rotary thermostat this replaces.

    I once owned a programmable thermostat that could be switched to celsius. But after a bit of frustration I discovered that it was internally still fahrenheit, and celsius was just for display. So for example if you started at 20, then hit the "up" button, it would look like nothing happened. The set point would still be displayed as "20" but the heat would go on, because internally the set point was really 20.6 (69 F). If you hit the "up" button nine times, the display would go up five times.

    Re: "dematerialization of the user interface to a simple rotary dial," I’m imagining an iPhone with a real rotary dial, like from a Western Electric 500 set.

    Well done everyone. And for the record, I work for that ‘other’ company which makes round thermostats. Love my Nest!
