Sub dermal scanning doesn't mean what you think it means. It doesn't mean it scans blood vessels or anything other than the print pattern itself, only that it can get below the surface to see the print even if it's damaged or dirty (and that's what the marketing droids said). If you provide it a clean print as this hack does, the fact that it can "see" below dirt and damage doesn't come into play.
They claimed that it is a capacitive sensor that can see below the outer dermal layers, avoiding problems like cuts and dirt. And that claim is correct.
Let's hope your local iPhone thief takes longer to lift a print and fabricate a latex finger than it takes you to lock or wipe the phone with Find My Phone.
Even as a tech-savvy early adopter I don't find the idea of a smartwatch particularly appealing. I only ever wore a watch for utilitarian reasons and I gladly dropped the practise after I started carrying a more capable device (a phone)
I find the pocketable slab-of-glass form factor to be ideal for my mobile computing needs and as much as I try to imagine a watch being a useful addition to it in some way, I just don't see it. Poking at a tiny screen or talking to my wrist do not appeal to me at all so anything input-related is out. I guess notifications could be handy but I'm not going to spend money, strap something to my body, and deal with keeping it charged just for that. A vibe in my pocket and a quick peek at my phone if I really care is fine for me.
I guess if I was always walking or doing something where even pulling out my phone is a pain I might see things differently, but that's not me.
Apple doesn't do what you claim. They release major OS versions along with new hardware but they do release point updates in between. Major versions generally work as far back as four hardware generations and all devices can be updated as soon as updates are released.
It is by far the best update situation in the industry.

Yes there is a reason scrolling was the was it was: a mouse wheel was the only way it was used. Now that people are using touch phones, tables, trackpads and mice, it makes sense to provide the option to invert the behaviour to more closely match the way people scroll today.
The benefit is uniformity of input across devices. You might not consider that an advantage but many do. If you don't, just turn it off.

So? Data is data no matter what file type. If I pay for, for example, 5GB I can use it for whatever I want.
Who would pay for tethering?! It's the same data!
The idea of working at Facebook conjures up images of that horrible reality tv show where several people live in a house. Drama!
I would use this instead of the mobile data I already pay for because...?
Use the force, Lukin!

If it was an iPhone you could have just waited for him to show up at your door.

The iPhone one does use sub dermal tissue scanning.
It's alright, the NSA can locate the phone without you activating those features.
More likely a CSEC backdoor.
A good laugh?
Just added this to my client's AJAX function for fun :)

Posting it on the Internet would also be good.
Seems like Japan would be the better place for and Ocean-Water Thermal Energy System.
So if I disagree with NSA spying, for example, there's someone I can vote for who will stop it, right? Excellent!

It's great to see that Snowden's actions have had a positive effect on the world already. He is a hero.
Because those transactions happen on darknets, no endpoint necessary.
