If you're looking to design your own hardware, there are plenty of ICs with dual NICs. For example the TI chip on the BeagleBone Black has dual ethernet NICs, but only one is used on the board.
Am I the only one who wants OTG support? Or are there boards with USB OTG ports that I have missed?
There's a practical attack for that, and it's quick. It also uses Ubertooth[1].
For all Bluetooth keyboards that I've seen in the past ~5 years the pairing process uses one of the "Secure Simple Pairing" modes. none of these have been broken, although "Just Works" is probably vulnerable. The keyboard that I've see use the "enter a 6 digit number" mode, which is not susceptible to man in the middle attacks that have been used against Bluetooth keyboards before[2].
Disclosure: I work on the Ubertooth and related projects.

The first part of their presentation uses a novel method to pick up PS/2 keystrokes from a system's ground connection. This presentation was what lead me to design the PS/2 tap[2] to sniff keystrokes with my sound card.

However, I wouldn't have paid someone to install the Nest thermostat in any of these properties because I didn't own them and I wasn't planning to stay long enough to benefit. I can't imagine that it would have been of any benefit to my landlords to install one either.
I presume that Nest's target market is homeowners, but their statement that there aren't many thermostats certainly appears to be based on anecdotal evidence from the rental market.
I think it would be useful to have a Virtualbox image available with everything set up for cross compiling for the Pi, BBB, etc. The thought of setting up non-standard toolchains seems to put off a lot of users.
I've also been working on a project[2] involving the BeagleBone Black and I saw a sharp increase in users when I began distributing an OS image with everything pre-installed.

You may also have errors in your version of donut.c, try copying the version from http://www.a1k0n.net/2006/09/15/obfuscated-c-donut.html
The LPC11U37F in the controller could be worth a look too.
Of course, the demo mode doesn't have advertising, so there is no way to know about it beforehand.

Forex traders may have been attracted to a market without regulation but their customers were there to make foreign currency trades. I'm sure that not as many bitcoin users would be happy to lose their anonymity to gain that accountability.

Caveat: I work on Ubertooth for Michael Ossmann
I mirror Ubertooth to Github because I was tired of having to answer the question "what's the Github URL?" from people wishing to browse the code.
It works for network traffic too as OSPF will pick the shortest path, but we can alter routing tables to correct for that.
I remember being passed files from the cookbook on floppies at school, I thought it was the greatest sources of information at the time, along with the "Book of Forbidden Knowledge" that you used to be able to buy from ads in the back of magazines.
I expect that Microsoft will fix Bing much more quickly.
"Your submission will be judged by your ability to communicate succinctly in writing, how good we think the talk sounds, what other people say about you behind your back and whether, frankly, we feel like people are going to be happy they paid money to see you yap for an hour."
It sounds a little harsh, but I think it's true. Getting to know people involved in the community or conference organization will pay off.
It's a big leap to go from a short user group presentation to hundreds of people listening to you for an hour. So you should expect to spend time getting to know people and money on attending other events in order to get there.
Of course, if you have a truly awesome new idea that nobody else has thought of, you can skip that step, but very few people do.
To get location information would require one of the following: 1) An array of antennas pointing in different directions, this is certainly possible, but not using the single built in antenna in a smartphone.
2) The device to know its own location and to transmit this to the phone. This would only be as accurate as GPS and would use significantly more power.
Using signal strength to approximate distance is reasonable, but the location of the sensor, nearby objects and the design of the phone's antenna will all affect the measurements.
I think that there is definitely a market for both products. I can't imagine some of my ageing relatives wanting to fire up an app to find their keys (they don't own smartphones anyway), but for my use I'd like the additional features that this solution provides.
Perhaps a StickNFind base station could be built at a later stage.
