the same could be said about google wearables, except android users get to find new and exciting ways to make excuses for things like "unfortunately, Time has stopped"

from what I see android stuff and even pebble is better to use, but what do I know, I never used a smart watch, but tech specs are not really the point, the whole marketing circus and whatever goes trough the minds of those that fell for it is what I think is interesting, seeing a 30+ year old man being a fanboy is probably one of the saddest sights.

LOONCUP, a menstrual cup with a “securely embedded sensor that talks to your smartphone,” surpassed its $50,000 fundraising goal on Kickstarter this week.

LOONCUP is like other reusable silicone cups women can use during their periods, except this version comes equipped with a six-month battery and an antenna that connects to a smartphone app via Bluetooth.

The app sends you notifications that increase in frequency as the cup fills.

“It’s the world’s first smart menstruation cup, and you’ll love the way it tells you how full it is, and when it’s time to refresh,” the crowdfunding page reads.

My dad preordered a 950 from the first place that would take his money.

I asked him why he was preordering from a site in the UK instead of just going to the microsoft store and buying one day 1 if hes so mad at his iPhone.

he was worried about the crowds :lol:


edit: oh my god he paid $100 more for it and its not going to get here any sooner what the gently caress is wrong with my dad

they've waffled on how they do their number constantly, but 10xx was going to be used for their phones with pureview cameras with high megapixel counts - the 1020 was their only product in that line. They were also going to give a different prefix number for phablets but just settled with the xl moniker instead
