What's most intriguing is how/when Nest will move beyond thermostats. Most of the appliances in our homes are still lacking "good design" (how many buttons does your microwave have again?)

It's also interesting to put Nest in the context of "Build Something People Want." Very few average consumers asked for a nicer thermostat, and there was little prior evidence that one would do that much better in the marketplace, but Nest seems to be doing quite well.
