Sure I can. most $10k watches are marvels of mechanical engineering, they hold their value. Apple has no history making watches, and their watch is closer to a Casio then a Rolex (chinese made parts in a ceramic/gold case). My Rolex (a present) is useful for may as it is a great sailing watch, I never have to wind it, I never have to charge it. It keeps impeccable time (very important when sailing, you know sextant and all that).
And to everyone who says mechanical watches are obsolete. Mine will still work in 50 years.
Yeah for a watch made by a company that has a history of making spectacular watches? how many watches has Apple made? All Apple did was put a small arm processor in a case. Hardly the craftsmanship of the inner workings of a mechanical masterpiece like Rolex or a Breitling. I mean really are you comparing the tiny SoC made by a Chinese factory to the inner workings of a Swiss action watch made by hand. That;s why the watches are worth so much, and why they will hod their value. I am sorry but in 3 years an $10k gold Apple watch will be worthless due to the fact that they lower the quality of the gold by mixing it with ceramics. You won't even be able to get gold weight for it.
Say I want to charge it and have it attached to an external monitor. Pretty average thing to do. For that I need to buy a breakout adapter for $80. I think a $1300 (base) laptop should come with it thank you very much.
No it won't But Apple will gladly charge you $80 for breakout adapter, that you will need to plug in another usb hub to get more then one port. Worlds thinnest laptop that requires the worlds most adapters to use.
In 5 years I'll be able to sell my Rolex for close to what I paid for it. The Apple watch with a dead battery and no longer getting updates or support will be worth what ever gold weight you can get from it.
Except Apple is not a watch brand, so they cannot expect to be able to charge what Rolex or Breitling can. Plus who wants a watch that has to be charged twice a day?
I am guessing you are pointing to every comment before yours.
I have never seen such poor grammar on Slashdot before. Maybe I should have left the Grammar Nazi's alone.
You should post that as an editorial in your hometown paper. It would be extremely embarrassing for your representative if you posted your letter and their response. Let everyone know they don't even hear the question.
What are you talking about? He tried, he got a response basically saying he said the opposite of what he sent. THEY ARE NOT LISTENING TO US. I can't afford to play by their rules. It's obvious now that unless you have a lot of money to give you have no representation.

Back in the day Steve Wozniak worked for Apple.
55 grams of 18kt gold, you might want to do you math again.

>. PPC emulation gone, all that software is now money -> trash Sorry but how many years has ppc been gone now? That's really reaching for a complaint.
And for what the Kindle does it is better then an iPad.
Not really, the Submariner design hasn't really changed at all in it's lifetime.
The classic designs never really go out of style.
No it's not "solid gold", it's mixed with ceramics to make it harder http://www.businessinsider.com...
Try and sell that to your local pawn shop as gold see what they offer you.
No it's a Casio wrapped in gold leaf.
Worse is the Gold is mixed with ceramics so you can't even sell it for gold weight.

Powered hub and $80 breakout adapter to use the hub.
No it won't But Apple will gladly charge you $80 for breakout adapter, that you will need to plug in another usb hub to get more then one port. Worlds thinnest laptop that requires the worlds most adapters to use.
What do you mean " once an android competitor comes out ", Samsung Gear has been out for 1 1/2 years already.
It took you hanging out with your betters to figure that one out I see.

It has 1 port, which means if your charging it your not using any other peripheral. (yes you charge it through the USB-c port).
I am guessing you are pointing to every comment before yours. I have never seen such poor grammar on Slashdot before. Maybe I should have left the Grammar Nazi's alone.
OOo you called him a sheep. Troll.
Yes because there was so much opposition to it during the FCC comment period and only Netflix supported it.
Wow, You do know the President can't make laws here, right? You should probably take a basic course in US Government, and stop watching only Fox News.
How about the overwhelming support it got during the FCC comment period. Less then 1% of the almost 4 million responses were opposed.
