That's exactly what the Apple Watch is... A companion for your phone.

I totally agree with you, if your needs are simply for a device that tells the time then buy whatever less expensive option you want.

Google should also pay us for profiting from the data we willfully give them!

You don't "get better" at MOBAs, you just learn to suck less.

Such a shame. Not having Blomkamp do Halo is looking better and better in hindsight.

I do. I'm at the point now where I understand what my needs for a phone are (just the core functions), so I base my upgrades purely on cosmetic value. Form over function is what I want, so phone spotting is a great way to check out the best looking devices.

"We had users who were dumbfounded that their fancy new iPhones didn't have the faster speeds that the Android competition had"

$350 is on the low end, even for a dumb watch. These things are just as much a jewelry piece as they are accessories (even though I think the Apple Watch isn't that great looking).

IR takes up too much room for the amount of people who would use that feature.

Apple does not store any credit card data on their servers, and the merchant doesn't even get to see your CC number. Jennifer Lawrence had her pictures leaked due to a weak password, no actual hacking was involved.

The Apple Watch can pay for groceries and take phone calls. Your Rolex can tell the time. Don't confuse the two devices just because they are both referred to as a "watch", they are completely different products. One is a modern companion device, the other is purely a piece of jewelry.

What is your ideal smartwatch, if not a computer strapped to your wrist?

The Apple Watch event is on Monday. All your questions shall be answered!

You can't compare the samsung GS5 to the iPhone 6, the GS5 is a last gen phone and thus obviously at a lower price point. Not sure what gimmicks you're referring to, Apple has historically not followed trends until they proved themselves (that's why they always take heat for being last to the party) and ships with…

Punished for voluntarily purchasing a product? How about this: read the back of the box before purchasing to make sure it has everything you want.

You can't compare a smartwatch to a watch. They may have similar names and the same shape, but they are completely different devices.

There's nothing in there about Disney dictating the creative stuff while Pixar does the grunt work. Infact, it says the exact opposite:

"You believe that Valve would then force the purchase of a multi hundred dollar item to be allowed to play their game?"

What are you basing that claim on?

You might want to read up on the definition of "exclusive" then. Valve has a vested interest in the success of Vive just like they did for Steam, and the easiest way to do that is to launch with the most anticipated PC game in history as your flagship game.
