    Neowin[^]:

    Google is making yet another big business acquisition and this time it's actually hyping up the deal in a press release. Today, the company announced it will buy Nest Labs for $3.2 billion in cash, with the deal expected to close sometime in the next few months if it is approved by U.S. regulators.

    Now even your thermostat will be tattling on you

        I have one of their thermostats, and I'm pretty happy with it. I can only hope that Google continues to support the vision that Nest puts into their product line. If the smoke alarms didn't cost an arm and a leg I'd replace mine with them...

          I never considered using smoke alarm's as limbs. Wouldn't that make it difficult to move about and manipulate things?

            Yes, but considering how cool the Nest stuff is I'd feel like a futuristic robot anyway! :)
