If you subscribe to the Microsoft ecosystem, you’re familiar with Cortana, the company’s voice assistant. Microsoft has said they plan on bringing the technology to a range of devices and appliances in the near future, and the other day we got our first glimpse of one of those products. GLAS is a newly announced thermostat from Microsoft and Johnson Controls. It packs Cortana technology so you can change the temp by simply speaking to it. Of course, you might not need to do that often, as GLAS monitors the room at all times, knows when you’re in it, and adjusts accordingly. Running on Microsoft’s Windows 10 IoT, GLAS also has a calendar function, air quality monitor, and a sleek, touchscreen display. No word yet on pricing and availability, but if you’re a Microsoft devotee and don’t want a Nest or Ecobee’s Alexa-equipped option, GLAS may be the thermostat for you.

Boost Infinite Will Keep You on the Latest iPhone Year After Year
While we’re well aware that almost every single new “feature-packed” iPhone release is just a clever re-imagining of something Android users had years ago, we remain loyal to the brand because of the simplicity, streamlined ecosystem, usability and overall style. But we’ll also be the first to admit that we loathe the upgrade pricing structure. Or at least we used to before Boost Infinite. Boost Infinite hooks us all up with unlimited talk, text and data, along with the latest iPhone every year for only $60/month with Boost Infinite Access for iPhone plan. Yes, you read that correctly. Year, after year, after year, Boost Infinite will hook you up with the latest and greatest with this incredible offer and one low monthly price when you sign up.
