7 iPhone Photo Lenses! The 4-Hour CHEF Teaches Knife Skills. 3 Smart Thermostats Save Energy. Eavesdrop on Rdio. Barnes & Noble Protests Amazon.

Tuesday, December 4th, 2012 – running time 33:23

Tim Ferriss, The Four-Hour CHEF, talks $7 cleavers, knife skills, and the battle between Barnes & Noble and Amazon. Better iPhone Photography: we've got lenses, mounts, and more! Programmable Thermostats, the Nest is just one of many excellent options. Eavesdropping on Rdio. And much more!

Plus - should Patrick and Veronica talk slower? What do you think?

Cheaper Than N

John writes in, "The Nest Learning Thermostat looks like a great device but for half the price the 3M rebranded Radio Thermostat offers many of the energy saving features. The iOS app has improved greatly over the year I've had the thermostat, and unlike some online thermostats there is no monthly/ yearly fee associated with the device." Good info, John! Consumer Reports recently tested 30 of the energy saving thermostats, and the Nest was far from the highest rated. Watch the video to find out work you can do to your home that should save you a lot more money that new HVAC controls!
