I think there a lot of things to bash Google on, but the outcome of Motorola is not one of them. The G and X look like great phones and they were all pieces of shit before.

the parent comment was sarcasm.

I immediately thought 'google will tie this into your google phone for you. That could be pretty nice.'

I think the concern is that they'll tie it into their data collections practices. An online page to manage your thermostat(s) remotely and grant access to the API, but you have to sign in with your Google+ account to access it.

pspb is clearly making an ill-advised attempt at sarcasm.

I don't mind sarcasm as long it's marked "<sarcasm>...</sarcasm>" at the least.
