This seems like a setup for some sort of russian heist movie. Like someone has to get in to steal some macguffin piece of tech while there is no internet to detect them or something like that.

If they still have PeopleSoft, they could always replace it with the combo of Workday/Salesforce, or something of that ilk. As a bonus, Workday was founded by David Duffield, who also founded PeopleSoft and was forced out as part of a hostile takeover of PeopleSoft by Oracle. As such, Id imagine that Duffield would love to stick it to Oracle wherever possible.
When I worked at HP, they managed to pull off the move from PeopleSoft to Workday and it was smoother than expected, given that it was HP. So if they can do it, I'm sure Amazon could do the same.
I use mine (LTE Model) daily for finding the location of my next meeting, checking DarkSky for weather, getting passcodes for 2FA, setting alarms that only wake me up and not my wife, setting timers via Siri, listen to music and podcasts, and get emergency text messages without my phone. This is a huge benefit while running or doing active things, as it allows me to leave my phone at home or in the car.
Something that I find myself doing more than I anticipated is using it daily for paying for stuff. It works at Dunkin, the local small town market, and our work cafeteria. The chip in my debit card went bad, and I haven't really had to replace it because I can pay with my watch most places around town now. Since most small businesses had to get new register setups to comply with chip+pin, they are all ending up with Apple Pay as a side benefit. And this isn't in a big city, this is in a town with ~14,000 people and more farms than stop lights. So yeah, its gets a lot of use.
That assumes that the person managing the team was also the one who picked the team. Its a lot harder when someone is handed a team they didnt have a hand in hiring to manage with people that need constant supervision, and there is no way to get them off of their team because doing so also is a black mark against the manager that does it.
Short Form Blogs and YouTube aren't very practical while doing other things, as you have to be looking at them. I think of podcasts as something you listen to while doing something else, like driving, shoveling snow, mowing the lawn (so you can tell people to get off of it later), and so on.
Even if these packages are bundled like cable, and have the same dvr/commercial/linear programming schedule setup, they are still a major upgrade over cable.
The reason: BYOD
Vue/Sling/DirecTVNOW all functionally enable a customer to bring their own hardware. with 3 TV's in my house, almost half of my cable/internet bill is spent getting the FiOS media server with the extra streaming boxes to allow cable TV to all 3 sets. With Vue, I can use my own Playstation/Roku/Fire TV to control it, and dont have to keep paying 50+ a month in equipment rental fees. If PS Vue gets Viacom channels back, I'm in all likelyhood dropping FiOS cable and switching.
Thing is, they give you the first 3 levels for free. So you know exactly what you are buying before you plop down your ten bucks. Did people expect it to turn into a different game once they paid?
Yes it is. They are under zero obligation to do any of this, since they didn't buy Pebble the company, just some of the IP they held. They have also stated that the apps will be updated to reduce their dependence on external servers so the watches may last longer than that.
Is it as good as having them continue the Pebble brand? No.
Is it better then the app disappearing from the app store and the watches all bricking? Absolutely.
If Apple's ~210 Billion in cash reserves it to be believed, it seems more plausible that Apple could make a bid for controlling interest of Microsoft, given Microsoft's current market cap of ~434B (as of June 30th). Though I somewhat struggle as to what they would actually want out of that deal, besides Office and the Azure infrastructure.
I believe a lot less contactless credit cards in the US currently, nor are the cards I use offered as a contactless option. As such, the convenience is really twofold for me
1. Backup payment method. If I don't have my wallet, I can still pay for things. Handy for the once in a while I forget it, but more handy if I'm out for a run and want to buy a drink or something.
2. One handed operation. Since all I need to do is put my thumb on the fingerprint reader and hold my phone by the contactless reader instead of needing to open my wallet to swipe a card, it's far easier to do while trying to keep my 4yo out of the candy in the checkout line with my other hand.
Mind you these may both apply to Google Wallet as well, but I haven't used it so I can't say. Honestly, if Apple pay does nothing more than encourage the proliferation of contactless readers, I think both Apple and Android fans win.
But in the scenario I'm talking about, it's during their workday, so it's not off hour work. PST, EST, GMT, and IST can pretty much set it up so that the outgoing shift overlaps a few hours with the incoming shift. Gives you 24 hour coverage, but keeps your support from working late at night, when people are less effective and more prone to mistakes.
That's one reason to have a percentage of your tech support in places where it isn't a holiday, or at least spread the time zones out through North America and Europe as to minimize the number of hours worked on the holiday itself
Most of these patches are happening on systems that are in some remote data center that's not in your physical office location anyway. So I see no difference connecting remotely to the servers from your house vs connecting remotely from your office
It's not an excuse at all, but suggesting people who work 12 hour days aren't cooking due to boredom and the solution is to grab a tablet and watch tv while cooking is asinine.
A better answer would be preparing large quantities of freezable meals earlier in the week to be used when time is short, and buying in bulk to defray costs.

Except that they should recoup the cost of the whole investigation in the fines and unpaid taxes they uncovered.

its a continuous run game with some interesting level layouts. Were people expecting a full on Mario game?
And this is supposed to be a good thing?
Yes it is. They are under zero obligation to do any of this, since they didn't buy Pebble the company, just some of the IP they held. They have also stated that the apps will be updated to reduce their dependence on external servers so the watches may last longer than that.

Its all fun and games until someone tries to throw your "iPhone 7" in the pool since they think its waterproof

The cross-country team in my high school was almost entirely nerds. Nerd != useless lazy sack of crap.
Except that for a lot of people, their company policy mandates that they buy the cheapest available seat. So you can't upgrade
It's what I do in my company, so there is one who does it at least

Quite the pet lover I see. Perhaps some fish filet is in order after the stir fry.

Inman has never denied being kind of an asshole on occasion. If he wasnt, his comics wouldnt be as good as they are.
