$3.2 BILLION?! Was Nest Labs making a profit? Seemed to me like they made cool devices that no one bought.

They were shipping 50k thermostats a month over a year ago. Combine a heat-up in home automation interest this year with some very fancy endcaps they've placed in Home Depot (the thermostat and smoke detector, with interactive demo videos), they're probably selling much better today.
