Nest CEO Tony Fadell:

> “The data we collect is all about our products and improving them,” Fadell said, reiterating a statement he issued about the company’s smart thermostat and smart smoke detector following the announcement of the acquisition. “If there were ever any changes whatsoever, we will be sure to be transparent about it, number one, and number two, for you to opt in to it.”

Larry Ellison talking about Google’s Larry Page:

> “We just think they took our stuff, and that was wrong,” Ellison said in an interview with Charlie Rose on “CBS This Morning,” which was aired on Tuesday.

> When asked if he thought Page was evil, Ellison replied: “I think what they did was absolutely evil.” He fell short of vilifying the man himself as evil.

This is the second time Google has banned Glass from one of its own events. They also banned Glass from its [shareholder meeting in June](https://loopinsight.com/2013/06/07/google-glass-banned-from-googles-shareholder-meeting/).
