I went through one of their tutorials when it was first announced and it shows that you can view the the week on a graph of temp vs time. This shows the basic times you adjusted the temps, but it doesn't let you get to the optimum start/stop functions. That is the stuff I would like to see.
I actually think that the "learning" part of the thermostat will save you money. Most people I know with programmable thermostats still use it manually and never bother trying to figure out how to schedule/adjust it. After using the learning thermostat for a few days, it starts anticipating your schedule and adjusts accordingly.

My experience has been the exact opposite. I had absolute trust in police officers as an adolescent. It was later in life when I developed my distrust.
I now believe they are glorified tax collectors.
I found this comment to her blog apology amusing:

Also funny: The use of the word 'acquired' as opposed to the word COPYING. Is it 'acquiring' when someone downloads a Lilly Allen album from BitTorrent? :)

It seems to me the logical aproach would be for Warner to merely reimburse Fox for what they paid for their movie rights. It makes no sense for them to get a percentage of profits from the movie, they had nothing to do with.
This way they wouldn't have to have their customers send in their little data trackers, they could just ask the government for the info and force everyone to use this service.
I fear privacy is a thing of the past.

Re: Trololol
This comment made my brain explode. Apparently it could not digest the absurdity in this comment.
I am hoping it is sarcasm.

Chances are the person that received it thought it was just phishing emails and deleted both emails without much thought.

Re: One day,
I have to agree with AC. This is a great comment. Let's hope it doesn't turn out to be true.

This would also help out ..
insurance companies like Progressive. You remember the whole pay-as-you-drive thing.
