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.

Britain's homes in race against time with climate change
2014-01-14 10:58:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: Each of the last three decades has been warmer than the last and warmer than any period for 160 years in the northern hemisphere. The period from 1983 to 2012 was the warmest 30-year period in the last 1,400 years. The UN intergovernmental panel on climate change's latest report forecasts that global air temperatures could rise by up to 4.8C by the end of the century and sea levels could rise by 82cm. In the UK we can expect warmer, wetter and windier winters and drier, hotter summers. For housing...
Time Warner Cable rejects Charter takeover approach
2014-01-14 08:46:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) Time Warner Cable has rejected a takeover bid from Charter Communications, saying it "grossly" undervalues the company. TWC said this is the third approach it's had from Charter. The proposal was described only generally in a letter from Charter as being in the "low USD 130s", compared to TWC's current share price of around USD 132. Based on an interview with Charter CEO Tom Rutledge , Bloomberg reported that the offer was for USD 132.50, consisting of USD 83.00 in cash and USD 49.50 in Charter stock. TWC said Charter had previously offered cash and stock valued at USD 114 per share in June and USD 127 in October. Rob Marcus , Time Warner Cable's chairman and CEO, said the offer was a "non-starter", at just 7x EBITDA or "well below past transactions in the cable sector". Not only is the nominal value too low, the high share of payment in stock offers little to TWC shareholders, he said. According to the CEO, TWC made clear to Charter in later December that it was interested in a bid closer to USD 160 per share, including at least USD 100 in cash. Charter said in a statement that it had made "repeated overtures" to Time Warner Cable in the past six months, but only in December did the company engage in talks. Charter expects the possibility of a takeover and a premium bid has already been largely priced into TWC's share price. The response from Time Warner Cable's management led Charter to believe they had no intention of starting merger talks, so Charter is now making its proposal directly to shareholders.
