IPod decided to leave Google's parent company, the father of Alphabet, denied that Nest failure-Google, nest,iPod-IT information

According to Bloomberg, Tuoni·fadaier (Tony Fadell) bringing the iPod to Apple, has contributed to the emergence of the iPhone; 2010 Nest Labs intelligent home company was founded, and in 2014, will be sold at a price of US $ 3.2 billion to Google. Then, he spent nearly two years Google connect your vision for the future, let Google product into consumers ' lives in more depth.

After you have made such great achievements, fadaier from Alphabet exits unexpectedly. Alphabet Friday afternoon released a brief statement saying that fadaier will immediately resign from its duties of head of Nest . Alphabet and Dai Erjun by trying to handle this matter lightly, but the outside world does not think so.

In the past few months, Nest staff openly complain that they see serious problems inside the Nest. Nest an engineer bluntly attacked fadaier in the social news site Reddit, and claimed that Nest fail to meet sales targets, bungled product upgrades and put off future product releases. Dropcam founder geleige·dafei (Greg Duffy) also said the 2014 surveillance cameras sold startups to Nest it was a mistake. Duffy accused the Nest of cultural fragmentation lead to hemorrhaging and claimed Dropcam products far hotter than Nest devices.

Duffy wrote in the blog Medium: "it can be said that in many ways my Nest the current leadership there were extreme differences in management style, they just seem to be obsessed with their instructors superficial and negative personality best. For customers and still stay good, I hope they found another way to work through these struggle. ”

Therefore, for the purposes of the world, it seemed that this separation of the internal discord caused by Dell (or excluded). For the past 15 years have made brilliant achievements in building popular consumer products for fadaier, this is a blow.

But fadaier said that at the end of last year before a crisis occurs, he began to consider leaving the Nest. He has been secretly invested in about 100 companies, now feel compelled to direct these startups, and launched a new venture. Fadaier denied that Nest had been hit, said the company is still going strong. In an interview with Bloomberg, his head and looked back on his up-and-down career at Google, also discussed other issues, including the development direction of Silicon Valley, as well as what he was most interested in, and so on.

Here are the main contents of the interview.

Bloomberg: the past few months is not unusual for the Nest, Nest very public complaints. This Nest has reacted?

Fadaier: our team felt sad. It makes people feel shocked, "How can this be? This does not reflect our culture. This is not something that happens to us. "Then, you know what? It makes our team go into the melting pot, make them stronger.

The team and used in the Nest and worked with the people I work with, I get many ideas, "you know, it's a whole new world. In blog you can say everything you want to say something, but it's not good for work. "Good for the work was a great and powerful business and a great and strong customer. All other things have a smattering of chatty.

Bloomberg: did nothing in these criticisms resonate with you? Such as product delays, and the movement of persons?

Fadaier: I used to work at Apple. I have worked in different companies. You know, it's just part of the normal operation of the enterprise. Changing business priorities, there are different things happen every day. So, you see, everyone has their own opinion. All I know is, when I look at these data, when we released four new products when we have millions of satisfied customers, when you look at these products have star ratings, this is the reality of the situation.

Do I want to sell more products in the future? Of course, I'd like that. But I am very satisfied with the achievements of our current. For these achievements, has devoted a great deal of work and time. People can have their own different points of view, and I know what the facts are.

Bloomberg: you admit that you leave the Nest as many people failed. This indicates that your critics are correct?

Fadaier: people will have their own views. Turns out, we have delivered many products. We achieved strong real growth, while revenue has grown. Our customers love our products.

We have a product roadmap. You know, people don't see it. We have a truly effective product roadmap, our team is working to build these products. We have many products and services coming soon.

People will say, "Oh, Oh, Oh, they did not deliver enough product. "Well, you know what? We have delivered products. We delivered a lot of products. We delivered a lot of software. Oh, and then they'll say, "this business is healthy. "Well, you know what? We have a huge amount of revenue, the business growth is also strong. Well, well, what else do you want to attack? "This product has not been consumers. "Well, all our product receives a four star rating.

Bloomberg: in order to obtain these achievements, you sleepless nights?

Fadaier: of course. I was born to be a worrywart. Because I care about design is correct. I am concerned about whether our employees are doing a great job and enjoy the work. So, I often feel very worried. I was worried about our family.

If you what you are doing without a shred of doubt that you're not trying hard enough. Right? You should always check. "Wait a minute, I'm on the edge of the cliff, I tried very hard to push. I do this correctly? I know some self-doubt? "You have to have self doubt, because if you don't, it means you're not trying hard enough to promote. You are too complacent, you go with the flow.

Bloomberg: says you may be a tyrant on the Internet. You are a tyrant?

Fadaier: broken state, the style may not be for everyone. But, you know, someone at General Magic has worked with me a few years ago, and now they let their children work for me. If the rumor is true on the Internet, then they will avoid me like a plague. Silicon Valley is a small place, I've been here for 25 years now, right?

To me, what really matters is your attitude? Did you come to work? If you truly respect our mission? Yes, everything will go up and down. However, because we really respect people, because they respect our efforts, we will work together to complete any task. That's all that matters, right?

Bloomberg: you want your Nest does not have the same experience?

Fadaier: I don't know if I have any regrets. You can see certain things as a challenge, or use it as a learning opportunity. For me, it is always growing. We all make mistakes. When we learn to speak, walk or crawl, and inevitably make mistakes. Therefore, we can only try our best to do the things we should do these things no one had ever done before. So, you will make mistakes.

Bloomberg News: for many years, you and Larry page (Google co-founder and CEO Alphabet) what is the relationship? What did you learn from him?

Fadaier: I respect his achievements. I respect Larry and Sergey (Brin) achieved success. I learned a lot from Larry, they hire a lot of people are first-class talent.

For me, with Steve (jobs) is completely different, I learned a lot from Steve experience includes marketing and product design knowledge.

But dealings with Larry, people like seeing things far beyond the horizon, and trying to see more. They can jump very high, sees things that others don't see. Lot is in Cupertino (Apple's Silicon Valley headquarters) is unheard of.

For me, it was an eye-opening experience for me. Every time I open another (Google Labs) laboratory or when someone introduced me to something, I'm very excited, "what?" Are you doing this? Oh, my God. "You know, they give me the brain hole wide open.

Bloomberg: what plans do you have?

Fadaier: well, I think I will continue to do the things I've been doing, which is witnessing something fresh out of the laboratory, and to transform them into products.

In the past 8-10 years, I've been secretly invest in some companies. All this is done in secret, there are more than 100 companies, these companies have the technology, is incredibly disruptive ideas can change the world in a positive way, whether in the field of healthcare, consumer products, and energy. In some companies, I've always been a member of its Board. In some companies, I helped them to raise more capital or marketing perspective for them, guide them in designing products. So, provide recommendations for Larry and the Alphabet at the same time, I will continue to do the things I've been doing.

Bloomberg: you're involved in any type of company?

Fadaier: let us talk about Phononic company. They developed an innovative solid state cooling and heating solutions. It developed heat sink almost like a chip, can replace compressor for commercial refrigerators, household refrigerators and freezers. So, you can get rid of those who make a lot of noise, a huge, ugly compressor. Because of these factors, you'll have to replace the refrigerators currently in use. In addition, the current refrigerator there are difficult to recycle chemicals.

This radiator can make your refrigerator has more capacity, less noise and better temperature control, and more energy-efficient. The company has been established for four years, I was a Director of the company. At present, their products will be listed, they are beginning to take off.

Other similar companies also FlexPort, Airware, Mousera, Bump (acquired by Google) and ZEP solar (has been SolarCity to acquire).

Bloomberg: you think you will become a venture capitalist?

Fadaier: no, I'm doing all this is done in secret. Therefore, I do not want to rely on my behalf to raise funds. I want them to rely on their own ability, their wisdom and their great ideas to get financing. I'm going to do is I'm going to help them establish contacts, I'll see if they financed propaganda, promotion of their products and help them pack their own, help to take a look at their organizational structure.

So, I've been doing these things behind the scenes, acting as a secret Advisor. They make me keen, teach me new technology. They let me have the means to see something beyond the horizon.

Bloomberg: do you think that Silicon Valley is in what state?

Fadaier: I think we are on the finance return to normal status. Really hot company is the story has good sales and great company, they receive special high valuations, which they deserve. I think, as happened in 2000, each company valuations are far more than you think, there is no Sarbanes-Oxley Act (Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Bill would require enterprises to improve transparency and internal control), so we can quickly liquidate these valuations on Wall Street. They can't do that now, so now they use private capital to create this hype cycle.

We must ensure that our estimates are not too advanced in this process to take financial responsibility for financing environment because you never know what will happen to change, success of your IPO. So, must return to a normal state.

Bloomberg: how you see yourself these days? You feel like you left the property?

Fadaier: I tried to follow his passion to do things rather than for money's sake. I'm curious, I am the kind of person to rely on the wisdom of life. I don't know what you call it. I'm part engineer, part craftsman, part Designer, part entrepreneurs, part of investors. These skills, everything that I've learned through practice, it just worked for me. I can't tell you the truth, but I always trust my intuition, it is usually correct.

I don't know why I feel this way, but with Bill Campbell (Bill Campbell), Steve jobs after close cooperation, and has witnessed the tragic death of many of my mentors, I think I'd have this responsibility. A few of us are caretakers of this knowledge.

Passing this way of thinking and working, is our responsibility. Excellence, the pursuit of excellence, not accepting the status quo, constantly remind ourselves to motivate peers as much as possible, so that we can get beyond imagination.

iPod之父毅然离开谷歌母公司Alphabet，否认Nest失败 - 谷歌,nest,iPod - IT资讯

据彭博社报道，托尼·法戴尔(Tony Fadell)为苹果带来了iPod，对iPhone的诞生做出了贡献；2010年创立了智能家居公司Nest Labs，并于2014年将其以32亿美元的价格出售给谷歌。然后，他花了近两年来塑造谷歌连接未来的愿景，让谷歌产品更深入地融入到消费者生活中。

在取得这样辉煌成就之后，法戴尔从Alphabet的退出是出人意料的。Alphabet周五下午发布一则简短的声明称，法戴尔将立即辞去其Nest部门主管的职务。Alphabet和法戴尔均试图轻描淡写地处理这事，但外界并不这样认为。

在过去几个月里，Nest员工公开抱怨他们目睹Nest内部存在严重问题。Nest一位工程师在社交新闻网站Reddit上直截了当地抨击法戴尔，并声称Nest未能实现销售目标，搞砸了产品升级和推迟了未来产品发布。Dropcam创始人格雷格·达菲（Greg Duffy）也表示，2014年将其监控摄像头初创企业出售给Nest是个错误。达菲指责Nest的文化分裂导致员工大量流失，并声称Dropcam的产品远比Nest的设备更火热。

达菲在博客平台Medium上写道：“可以说，在很多方面我与Nest现任领导层在管理风格上存在极度分歧，他们似乎只是盲目迷恋他们导师最浅薄和消极一面的个性。对于客户和仍然留下来的优秀员，我希望他们通过这些斗争发现另一种工作方式。”

因此，对于全世界而言，似乎这种内部不和导致法戴尔的离职（或者被排挤出）。对于过去15年在打造热门消费产品上取得辉煌成就的法戴尔来说，这无疑是当头一棒。

但法戴尔表示，在去年年底出现公共危机前，他就开始考虑离开Nest。他一直在暗地里投资了约100家公司，现在感到有必要去指导这些初创公司，并展开新的风险投资。法戴尔否认Nest受到重挫的言论，称该公司表现依然强劲。在接受彭博社的采访中，他头脑冷静，回顾了他在谷歌起伏不定的职业生涯，同时讨论了其他话题，包括硅谷未来的发展方向，以及什么让他最感兴趣等。

下面是这次采访的主要内容。

彭博社：过去几个月对Nest来说是不寻常的，有人非常公开地投诉Nest。对此，Nest内部有什么反应？

法戴尔：我们团队感到难过。这让人感到震惊，“怎么会这样？这不能反映我们的文化。这不是发生在我们身上的事。”然后，你知道发生了什么？它让我们的团队经受锻炼，让他们更加坚强。

这个团队和曾经在Nest工作以及曾和我一起工作的人们，让我获得了许多不可思议的创意，“你知道，这是一个全新的世界。你可以在博客说出所有你想说的东西，但这不会对工作有益。“对工作有益的是一项伟大而强大的业务和伟大而强大的客户。所有其它的东西都是一知半解的喋喋不休。

彭博社：难道这些批评中没有任何东西让你产生共鸣？如产品延迟和人员流动大？

法戴尔：我曾在苹果公司工作过。我还在其他不同的公司工作过。你知道吗，这只是企业正常运行的一部分。企业优先事项不断发生变化，每天都有不同的事情发生。所以，你看，每个人都有自己的观点。我只知道，当我看到这些数据，当我们发布了四款新产品，当我们拥有数百万满意的客户，当你看这些产品获得星级评定，这才是现实情况。

我希望将来售出更多产品吗？当然，我希望这样。但我很满意我们目前所取得的成就。为了获得这些成就，付出了大量的工作和时间。人们可以有自己不同的观点，而我知道事实是什么。

彭博社：很多人把你离开Nest视为你承认失败。这标志着你的批评者是正确的?

法戴尔：人们会有自己的看法。事实表明，我们交付了许多产品。我们实现了真正的强劲增长，同时营收也实现了增长。我们的客户喜欢我们的产品。

我们有一个产品路线图。你知道，人们没有看到这一点。我们有一个真正行之有效的产品路线图，我们的团队正在打造这些产品。我们有很多产品和服务即将推出。

人们会说，“哦，哦，哦，他们没有交付足够多的产品。”好了，你猜怎么着？我们已经交付了产品。我们交付了很多产品。我们交付了很多软件。哦，然后他们会说，“这项业务是不是健康的。”好了，你猜怎么着？我们有庞大的营收，该业务也增长很强劲。那么，好吧，你还想要抨击什么？“该产品没有得到消费者好评。”好吧，我们所有产品都获得四星级以上评级。

彭博社：为获得这些成就，你是不是废寝忘食地工作？

法戴尔：当然。我天生是一个自寻烦恼的人。因为我关心设计是否正确。我关心我们的员工是否正在做伟大的工作并享受这样的工作。所以，我经常很担心。我还担心我们的家庭。

如果你对自己在做什么没有一丝一毫的怀疑，你肯定是不够努力。对不对？你应该不断检查。“等一下，我就在悬崖边上，我在很努力地推动。我这样做是否正确？难道我对它有些自我怀疑？”你必须有自我怀疑，因为如果你没有，就说明你不够努力地推动。你太自满，你在随波逐流。

彭博社：互联网上说你可能是一个暴君。你是一个暴君吗？

法戴尔：有破才有立，这种风格可能不会适合每一个人。但你知道，几年前有人在General Magic曾与我共事，现在他们让他们的孩子为我工作。如果互联网上的传言是真的，那么他们将像瘟疫一样躲开我。硅谷是一个小地方，我已经在这里呆了25年了，对不对？

对我来说，真正重要的是你的心态？你是来工作的吗？你是否真正尊重我们的使命？是的，一切事物都将有涨有跌。但是，因为我们真正地尊重民众，因为他们尊重我们的努力，我们将共同完成任何任务。这是最重要的，对不对？

彭博社：你希望你在Nest有不一样的经历吗？

法戴尔：我不知道我有什么遗憾的。你可以视某些事情为一个挑战，或把它当作一个学习的机会。而对我来说，它总是成长的。我们都会犯错。当我们学讲话、学走路或爬行时，都不可避免地会犯错误。所以，我们只能尽我们最大能力去做我们应该做的事，这些事以前没有人做过。所以，你一定会犯错误。

彭博社：多年来，你与拉里·佩奇（谷歌联合创始人和Alphabet首席执行官）的关系怎么样？你从他身上学到了什么？

法戴尔：我尊重他的成就。我尊重拉里和谢尔盖（布林）所取得的成就。我从拉里身上学到了很多东西，他们聘请的很多人是一流人才。

对我来说，这与史蒂夫（乔布斯）的关系完全不同，我从史蒂夫那里学到了很多经验，包括营销和产品设计方面的知识。

但与拉里的交往，让人就像看到了远远超过地平线之外的东西，并试图看到更多东西。他们可以跳得非常高，看到别人看不到的东西。很多东西是我在库比蒂诺（苹果硅谷总部）时闻所未闻的。

对我来说，这是一个让我大开眼界的经历。每次我打开另一间（Google实验室）实验室或有人向我介绍了某些东西时，我非常兴奋，“什么？你在做这事？哦，我的上帝。”你知道，它们让我脑洞大开。

彭博社：下一步你有什么计划？

法戴尔：嗯，我想我会继续做我一直在做的事，这就是亲眼目睹一些东西刚刚走出实验室，并把它们转化为产品。

在过去8至10年，我一直在秘密地投资一些公司。这一切都是秘密进行的，已经超过100家公司，这些公司拥有技术，拥有令人难以置信的颠覆性创意，能以积极的方式改变世界，无论是在医疗、消费类产品和能源领域。在某些公司，我一直是其董事会成员。在某些公司，我帮他们筹集更多的资金或为他们确定营销角度，指导他们设计产品。所以，在为拉里和Alphabet提供建议的同时，我将继续做我一直在做的事。

彭博社：你参与了哪些类型的公司？

法戴尔：让我们谈谈Phononic公司。他们开发了一个创新的固态冷却和加热解决方案。它开发的散热器几乎就像一枚芯片，能取代商用冰箱、家用冰箱和冰柜的压缩机。所以，你可以摆脱那些制造大量噪音、庞大而丑陋的压缩机。因为这些因素，你会下决心更换目前正在使用的冰箱。此外，目前的冰箱还存在难以回收的化学物质。

这种散热器能让你的冰箱拥有更大的容量、更少的噪音和更好的温度调节，并且更加节能。该公司已成立了四年，我是该公司的董事。目前，他们的产品将正式上市，他们正开始腾飞。

其他类似的公司还有FlexPort、Airware、Mousera、Bump（已被谷歌收购）和ZEP太阳能（已被SolarCity收购）。

彭博社：你认为自己将成为一个风险投资家？

法戴尔：不，我做这一切都是秘密进行的。所以，我不希望公司依靠我的名义筹集资金。我希望他们能够依靠自己的能力、自己的智慧和自己伟大的创意获得融资。我要做的就是我会帮助他们建立联系，我会看看他们的融资宣传，看看他们的产品宣传，并帮助他们包装自己，帮忙看一下他们的组织架构。

所以，我一直在幕后做这些事，充当一名秘密顾问。他们让我目光敏锐，教我的新技术。他们让我有办法看到地平线之外的东西。

彭博社：你觉得硅谷现在处于什么样的状态？

法戴尔：我觉得我们在融资上正回归正常状态。真正热门的公司是有很好营收和伟大故事的公司，它们获得特别高的估值，这是它们该得的。我想，就像在2000年前后发生的，每家公司都得到了远远超过自己想像的估值，那时候没有萨班斯-奥克斯利法案(Sarbanes-Oxley Act，该法案要求企业提高透明度与内部管理)，所以我们可以把在华尔街将这些估值快速变现。它们现在不能这样做了，所以目前是它们利用私人资本才创建这种炒作周期。

我们必须确保我们的估值不要太超前，在这过程中要承担财务责任，因为你永远不知道融资环境将发生什么样的变化，你是否能成功IPO。所以，必须回到正常状态。

彭博社：这些天你如何看待自己？你觉得你留下了那些财产？

法戴尔：我试图按照自己的激情去做事，而不是看在金钱的份上。我很好奇，我是那种依靠智慧生活的人。我不知道你怎么称呼它。我部分是工程师，部分是工匠，部分是设计师，部分是企业经营者，部分是投资者。这些技能，每一样我都是通过实践学到的，它只是对我有效。我不能告诉你其道理，但我一直相信我的直觉，它通常是正确的。

我不知道为什么我有这样的感觉，但在与比尔·坎贝尔（Bill Campbell）、史蒂夫·乔布斯密切合作后，并目睹我的很多导师不幸去世，我觉得我现在有这个责任。我们中的少数人是这种知识的看护人。

传承这种思维和工作方式，几乎是我们的责任。精益求精、追求卓越，不接受现状，不断鞭策自己，尽最大可能地激励同行，这样才能获得超出想像的成就。
