The article mentions that. Every change, no matter how trivial, in cmd breaks some behavior that someone is depending on, or at least it feels that way. Even fixing bugs tends to break large number of scripts in the wild. I'd like to

Nice to see, but before I buy another Nest product, I need to see the App and Website get some serious performance and usability updates. I'm more tempted to go with a Foscam at this point.

I can't speak for Comcast, but when I worked at a medium sized ISP back in the day when ISP meant dealing with dial-up modems, all of this was caused by politics, and not by design. The customer support department was only really conce
