Farewall, Fadell: Nest CEO Tony quits IoT biz
Found on The Register on Friday, 03 June 2016
Announcing his decision in a blog post Friday, the head and cofounder of the smart home company now owned by Google parent Alphabet and most famous for its thermostat, said his decision was "bittersweet" but that now was the right time to leave.
But the real clash came when Nest inexplicable decided to end support for a smart home control product it has bought, Revolv. That decision effectively bricked the hardware leaving customers fuming and causing a culture clash with its stablemate Google.
Let's hope all the buyers are now happy with their fancy bricks and will think twice before falling for the next "someone else runs everything for you" marketing joke.
