Google acquires Nest for $3.2 billion: Is it finally time for smart homes to become a reality?
2014-01-14 18:59:14| Extremetech
Google has acquired Nest Labs, maker of the Nest thermostat and Protect smoke detector, for the princely sum of $3.2 billion in cash. Putting aside the utterly absurd price -- it's twice what Google paid for YouTube, and 64 times what it paid for Android -- the main takeaway here is that Google, after a false start with Android@Home, is getting back into the home automation/smart home/internet of things game. The big picture, ladies and gentlemen, is that your dream of a smart, internet-connected home, with water, heating, light, security, and AC that you can control from anywhere, is very nearly here -- and it'll be powered by Google.
02.18: The Good Mother Myth: Redefining Motherhood to Fit Reality
2014-01-14 00:36:42| Powells Books Events Calendar
In an era of mommy blogs, Pinterest, and Facebook, The Good Mother Myth (Seal Press) dismantles the social media-fed notion of what it means to be a "good mother." This collection of essays takes a realistic look at motherhood and provides a platform for real voices and raw stories, each adding to the narrative of motherhood we don't tend to see in the headlines or on the news. The honesty of these essays creates a community of mothers who refuse to feel like they're in competition with others, or with the notion of the ideal mom — they're just trying to find a way to make it work. Editor Avital Norman Nathman will be joined for a panel discussion by contributors Arwyn Daemyir and Stephanie Kaloi, as well as by Andi Zeisler, cofounder and editorial/creative director of Bitch Media.
02.09: The Big Lie: Motherhood, Feminism, and the Reality of the Biological Clock
2014-01-14 00:36:38| Powells Books Events Calendar
The Big Lie (Prometheus) is a candid assessment of the pros and cons of delayed motherhood. Part personal account, part manifesto, Tanya Selvaratnam describes her emotional journey through multiple miscarriages after the age of 37. Her doctor told her she still "had time," but Selvaratnam found little reliable and often conflicting information about a mature woman's biological ability (or inability) to conceive. Through in-depth reporting and her own experience, Selvaratnam urges more widespread education and open discussion about delayed motherhood. The result is a book full of valuable information that will enable women to make smarter choices about their reproductive futures and to strike a more realistic balance between science, society, and personal goals.
