It strikes me that you have a problem with people expressing negative opinions. Does it hurt your brain that other people have different values and priorities than you?

Sometimes, a cigar is just a cigar.

Apple didn’t start ANY of those. The rounded corners thing, yeah.

I don’t, but that doesn’t make them any less of an idiot. And no, I am posting while on the toilet. This is all I have to do at the moment, George. What about you? Feeding trolls your thing?

“I dislike how constantly and consistently a new Souls game dominates all conversation for months after it comes out”

Yeah, well, she probably loved all the Destiny coverage that lasted for months and still hasn’t ended so TOO BAD. There are four whole Souls games that generated buzz for a couple months each. Cry me a…

No, his wife’s logic is sound; she really doesn’t want him paying any more attention to her, she just thinks he looks like a tool staring at his phone and is embarrassed to be seen with him.

Not true at all. When Apple rolls out the third or fourth generation of this, with a reasonable battery life, a thinner case (because that thing is ugly as hell) and the apps have actually figured out how to be useful for things, I might spring for one. What I’m not going to do is make up reasons about how having to…

Ok, like I said, have fun with it then.

Rolexes (at this price point - hundreds to low thousands) are not really luxury watches and you’re paying for craftsmanship, not gold. The low end iWatch has exactly the same craftsmanship in a different case so the only thing you could be paying for is the case.

I would not think of comparing the $18,000 iWatch with…

Have fun then.

That means the watch has to power its blutooth receiver constantly to wait for the message. Thats more expensive than just polling the phone at intervals. I’m glad for your anecdata, it flies in the face of what I’ve also heard anecdotally about “moderate” use. And thats with a fresh battery. Give it time.

And yet they all want larger smartphones with bigger screens. Now they are so big they want a small version again. I can’t even...

The sad thing is, the gold iWatch is not even expensive enough to put it into the luxury watch class, and yet its grossly overpriced for functionality you can get with a cheaper case and less than an ounce of gold, so while they THINK they look rich, they are actually just advertising that they are a tool.

And even though the pebble is superior in about every way except flashiness, I still don’t own one.

If you’re constantly polling the phone for updates on emails - its going to last about 6 hours. Have fun. The watch has a decent battery life when its just being a watch.

Nope. No distractions while driving are safe.

I may indeed someday buy an expensive watch - one that keeps time and has a nice movement. What I won’t do is purchase version 1.0 of a short lived blu-tooth connected screen to alleviate the horrible task of touching my cell phone - especially an ugly and expensive one that is going to look as outdated as the…

And now she’ll hate how you’re constantly fiddling with your watch. Victory achieved.

I feel sorry for the early adopters, and I apologize for feeling that way, but I fear you’re going to be disappointed in how useful this turns out not to be.

Whats ridiculous is now that they have tried to stop people from using SOME of the trademarked words, they are now liable for the rest of them, since its clear that they’ve given up any attempt at being a neutral party where they aren’t responsible for communication across their service.
