the  Watch charger is also USB, not USB C

so basically the laptop is compatible with absolutely loving nothing out of the box

i still think if you drop 17k on a watch it should be something a little more classy and long lasting than a tech gadget watch

well i think that's precisely why they aren't marketing it as a tech gadget

its nothing to do with your posting or thoughts or aspirations its the understanding that your musings on what constitutes a 'good $17,000 watch' are utterly irrelevant

you must be really fat and flabby if taking your phone out your pocket is a lot of work.

an easy way to spot an idiot is to look for people who believe the apple watch's purpose is to 'solve the problem' of taking your phone out of your pocket

Do you realize that fluoridation is the most monstrously conceived and dangerous communist plot we have ever had to face?
so I missed the shindig, what's the upgrade path like with those resin filled chips you all were talking about?

*watch buzzes and i accidentally hit accept call when i accidentally brush past the watch face*

"I LEFT YOU SOME PIZZA MINI BAGELS ON THE COUNTER HON" blares from the watch before i can whisper "t-thanks mom" and hang up before everyone in the meeting stares at me for, im assuming, being a totally cool cyborg badass

i agree, that's not the iwatch's purpose but the problem is that it has no purpose so people are just casting about to try and find one

especially since it doesn't even have the primary purpose of a watch, being a device to quickly and conveniently tell the time/date

which is to say no purpose at all, since that's every object under capitalism

the point is that it has no purpose for an end user, and apple's only purpose for it is to gather customer biomedical data
