Microsoft Working With Suppliers on Designs for Watch-Like Device
An anonymous reader writes with news that Microsoft may be working on a smartwatch. "The modern smartwatch market hardly even exists, and yet it's already starting to feel very crowded. Hot on the heels of plans (official and otherwise) from Apple and Samsung, the Wall Street Journal reports that Microsoft has also been shopping around for parts to build a 'watch-style device.' While details are scarce as to what that would entail, unnamed supplier executives tell the newspaper that Microsoft has been asking for 1.5-inch touchscreens. We wouldn't count on seeing an ultra-small Surface anytime soon, however -- these executives say they've visited Microsoft's campus, but they don't know whether the Windows developer is fully committed to its wrist-worn endeavor or just experimenting. If the project exists at all, of course. Still, there's finally a glimmer of hope for anyone who's still mourning the loss of their beloved SPOT watches."
i hope it comes with a masturbation measuring app, so i can jerk off and count the number of reps, pressure, date, photo of the event to match up with previous attempts to judge how healthy bloodflow to my penis is.
i hope it also comes with an app for my rectum, where it can safely be inserted, take some pictures and gain some medical insights to the state of my system and safely navigate itself out, like a roomba, through my anus.
Didn't the phrase "thumbprint-sized touch screen" set off any warning bells in the designers' heads?

Woohoo, I cannot wait to run Norton or McAffee AV on my watch and do weekly patch Tuesdays...
Excuse me, but please get off my Pennisetum Clandestinum, eh!
MS Watch: (in an electronic voice) Hi there, I see you are trying to tell the time. How can I help you?
1. Would you like me to display the time?
2. Is there a time you prefer?
3. Why don't you tell me the time?
It's true. I wore a watch in public and a criminal stole me. He left the watch, though.
Do you even lift?
These aren't the 'roids you're looking for.
