If you don’t recognize the name “Tony Fadell” offhand, don’t worry; I didn’t either until I looked into it. Suffice it to say he’s a former Senior Vice President with Apple, and it must be good to have friends in high places as his new Nest Learning Thermostat is set [...]

And perhaps the biggest one comes from Forrester’s James McQuivey, who recently released a report detailing one possible big reason Apple’s television could be the one to watch, by making it not so much a [...]
