Does anyone know who had this sous vide stick design first, this (Anova) or the nomiku(http://www.nomiku.com/)? It is possible that they both were designed in parallel but I would bet one came out before the other.

Probably my family will complain if I bring the huge Lauda cooler/heater from the lab to the kitchen, though...
