Quirky Just Filed for Bankruptcy
- ChuckMcM 11y agoThere was a discussion before that this was a probable outcome. One of the links in the story is to this story : http://gizmodo.com/why-is-my-smart-home-so-fucking-dumb-1684949715 http://gizmodo.com/why-is-my-smart-home-so-fucking-dumb-1684... which talks about Wink and how poorly it performed for the author. It struck me that once again things had reached an imbalance between design and engineering. When that happens either something is reliable as a tank and impossible to use (too much engineering, not enough design) or beautiful to look at and massively unreliable (too much design, not enough engineering). It takes both.
