frick quirky. looks like they quietly sold out of them and any attempt to buy them brings up a 404.

What wasn’t publicly disclosed, however, was that Quirky in February hired bankers to either find Wink some new outside investment or find it a buyer. Kaufman says that the process was moving along well until April, when Wink experienced a security glitch that that knocked its hubs offline and subsequently broke them for some customers.

The malfunction (and subsequent recall) not only halted the sale process, but it also resulted in inventory backlogs that have still not been fully resolved two months later.

can any potential buyer for wink manage it any WORSE than quirky already has?

i'm about to throw my hands up.

it sucks in 2015 we are still looking at very fragmented and shitty home automation integration.

wink was the most 'apple like' out there and now they've shite the bed completely.
