Six Lessons for Amazon’s Next HQ
Amazon announced in September its plans to open a second U.S. campus, and set every city that aspires to be the next Silicon Valley into a complete frenzy.But cities that are in the running should study both Seattle and Silicon Valley for a look at what to do—and what not to do—when a company comes calling.

Nest’s cheaper thermostat is better than the original
Photo by Jake Kastrenakes / The Verge
Usually when a company releases a cheaper version of its flagship product, it’s notably worse in some way in order to justify the cheaper price and to keep from cannibalizing the original, more expensive option.
Nest didn’t do that. Instead, the company that made the smart thermostat popular with a $250 device made a new thermostat that is just as good as the original, and knocked $80 off the price (mainly because it won’t be compatible with som...

There may be a fix in the works for San Francisco's very own "leaning tower."
