Android Wear 2.0 is going to have SIM card support so the watches won't necessarily need to be tethered to a phone. Finally real life will catch up to Dick Tracy.

Hell yeah can't wait to add another line to my wireless plan!! This is a great idea.

You're holding it wrong. Try using cloud services instead of trudging around with a bag of jangling SD cards like a cave man. Photos and videos are automatically uploaded to Google Photos and your personal music library streams effortlessly from Play Music.

Actually, the sd card goes into the phone, not a bag. I believe you may have been using them wrong for a long time.

You don't need a lot of on-board storage in 2016 unless you're using them to record long (hour+) videos (i.e. you're a professional videographer)

I have never once had to plug my phone into my PC to offload photos videos or music in two years thanks to a 128g sd card and that's just the way I like it. Maybe it's fine for folks who live in the city and get good coverage and have big data plans, but I don't.

I thought the Square reader used Bluetooth and the headphone jack was just a holder for the device but nope that's how it communicates with the device like it's a loving dialup modern

It's pretty clever, it means you don't need a battery in it and it will never get pushed off by drunk people swiping.

Going to be fun watching the first hacks to crack it so you can listen to hipsters complain about their three bean salads and poo poo.

The cracks are going to be used to blackmail executives and pinpoint political enemies, nobody cares about your lunch.

I fell for the hype and bought a MacBook in 2012 and it was the biggest piece of poo poo I ever owned. It struggled to run MS Word, it would take 10 minutes to boot, it was heavy and hot and gay as hell. It ran worse than my beat up 2004 HP tablet. But hey at least the shell was finished aluminum, that's what counts right!!

Has apple made any actually beneficial changes to the iPod after they made them play videos? Because it seems like that was the last improvement they did, and everything since then has, at best, not hurt.

Um well they turned them into iPhones without a call service, is that good?

I can't figure out what's funnier: the author getting mad that people aren't treating a search algorithm with "mutual respect", or the author confusing the Siri bot's canned responses to vulgar words as conversation gambits.

Better yet, have the forward view be a feed where you can see your car from a 3rd-person perspective like twenty feet above and behind it, like you're playing GTA. wave of the future

There is something kind of like this for parking now. Cameras on the outside stitch a panorama of the area around your car and it shows you an overhead view on the touchscreen. I saw it in an ad for the new Volt.
