I find it crazy that people leave/come in to the office at 4AM/5AM in the mornings. Also note the peak in CMD-Z at 12am... :/

I talked to an engineer from Sensirion (the makers of the temperature sensor on the S4) a couple of weeks ago. He told me that the waterproofing was the reason that they couldn't include their sensor in the S5.
