yep, this

if apple really does do an iwatch it ain't gonna just be "lol here's a watch you gotta charge every night kbye" they'll have something going for it

i fully expect apple to crater one day just like every big rear end company but i doubt it will be this soon. i'm sure they have lots of good poo poo in the pipe and they ain't gonna crash until they literally are as big as sony

the something going for it will be that there's a group of idiots who'll buy anything apple puts out at least once, but it'll turn out that no one actually wants the thing so it'll never reach a mass market acceptance.

Te DHS logic behind this is pretty insane. Those watches were used because they're cheap and popular, why would owning one make you a member of al-Qaeda

iirc it flashes the light when the alarm goes off which most watches don't, which makes it really easy to adapt as a bomb timer

actually now i think of it timex indiglo watches flash when the alarm goes off and the indiglo needs some insane amount of voltage which might make it able to fire a detonator on its own, brb going to get on a list somewhere
