"We Jews are a funny breed. We love to brag about every Jewish actor. Sometimes we even pretend an actor is Jewish just because we like him enough that we think he deserves to be on our team.
You know, when somebody points out that that "Jews don't control Hollywood - hardly an actor is actually Jewish", I start to wonder if they are actually missing the point, or are trying to hide it.
FTA: the diaries "remain in copyright until the end of 2015. Copies are in public libraries."
Just wait a year and then there REALLY won't be an issue.
Maybe that is the real issue here: the dear professor wants to make money selling his book now, not when everybody can flood the market with books which quote the diaries for free.
Its a bad idea, full stop. Its a watch that requires a phone to be of any real value
Duh. Wrong in two ways: First, it "requires" a phone because everybody already has a phone. Second, it doesn't require a phone for many of its functions. Pick the one that makes you most unhappy.
Except that Sooner wasn't the only device planned and Dream (large touchscreen, etc.) was already supported by the software: http://www.osnews.com/permalin...
Nice theory. Too bad that the video (released after you could already buy the iPhone) showing the "support" proves you still needed to use hardware buttons to navigate web pages in the browser. If that's support planned from the start that's fucking shitty support so far in the development progress.

Here's the web browser" - and goes on to press lots and lots of hardware keys before he begins what you can do with that advanced touch screen: oh, look, you can jerk the web page around on the screen. In Streetview you can even zoom.
The Android issue is just a minor point in the EU's case, why doesn't Google talk about the fact that their search service pushes people over to their shopping service?
The round LG is about $50 cheaper and it looks like a nice $100 watch. Which is problematic since it costs $300.
I especially like the functionless bezel on the G Watch R - nothing says like "sophisticated" like a watch that has a upside-down "30" printed below the face, All the time, even when not using an analog face. Just in case you forget that the 30 minute/second mark is on the 6.
As for looking cleaner and less blocky... Have you seen one? They are not exactly compact, and the look pretty ugly. Not as nice as the LG and Motorola watches, which cost a fraction as much. If it's jewellery, there are better options IMHO.
Highly complicated mechanical watches and mechanical chronographs range in price from 'expensive' to 'my lifetime earnings', but basic clockwork is affordable.
If you don't mind your watch being off half a minute or so per week.
News flash..... Digital watches have existed for decades, Hipsters have been cringing for a long time now about them and lamenting about how the mechanical movements are far superior and make their records sound better.
That's why all hipsters have a Rolex and a Samsung phone. No Apple products, that's not for hipsters.
Apple didn't invent the smartphone, they added a slick case and a few additional features that existing phones already had. At most, it was an incremental improvement in functionality wrapped up in a slick marketing campaign.
They removed all those "necessary" buttons everybody all of a sudden can live without. You're welcome Fandroidcheaple.
I have a better chance than you of surviving if I stick a couple of forks in outlet. (Disclaimer: survival of fork-related electric shock is not guaranteed.)
And don't give me that "we mandated safety shutters in 1947 and therefore cannot insert forks into outlets to repeat the experiment" crap. Or that "why the hell are you going around sticking forks in outlets, you moron" crap.
OK, but seriously why the hell ARE you sticking forks in the outlets?
Because as a Free American he fucking can. No government nor common sense can stop him.
I haven't worn a (wrist) watch for decades
When you have to do frequent hand washing (in the last 35 years I have been employed in the meat industry, food industry, childcare and elder care) its not worth the hassle.
So you work in any of those industries and pull out your phone when you want to check the time as is always claimed?
Probably the people who post links to wikipedia or XKCD.
I'm just tired of all the people who buy or don't buy things based on how they think other people will think about them
So your claim is that people pre-ordered the Apple Watch because they expected that millions of others would do so, and they didn't want to be looked down on?
Slashdot Mirror
So the Jews control Hollywood? Anti-Semitic much?
On July 12, 2012 Mann Friedman wrote an article in the Times of Israel. It was titled "Jews DO Control The Media".

Does it make calls? No? Then what the fuck does it do that the smartphone I already have to carry already does?
You are complaining that you Watch doesn't do calls of its own, so why does it require a phone. Why am I even trying to argue with a lunatic like you?
Small hard drive, no WiFi, lame.
Actually, the Apple Watch has more space than a Nomad as well as WiFi.
Smartphones are essential just Newtons with integrated cell phones.
FTFY

Unless it's in China, who the heck wears a watch nowadays, other than old people?

When a sub-contractor screws up, Apple has to pay.
My neighbours named their dog Karma. What an awesome name for a female dog.
Duh. They should have called her Dogma.
You mean the shopping service that nobody uses? I've tried before, I've never found a legitimate retailer on their search engine.
Which makes pushing people there all the more evil.
The Android issue is just a minor point in the EU's case, why doesn't Google talk about the fact that their search service pushes people over to their shopping service?

Errm, those Android watches are almost all way blockier than even the large Apple Watch. Even the round ones. http://9to5mac.com/2015/03/12/look-how-much-sleeker-apple-watch-is-compared-to-android-wear-watches/
generally out of the price range most people set for watches
What, £42? http://www.watchshop.com/Mecha...

Well it was smaller and more lightweight and did the same thing. Need more?
Does not apply to smartphones vs smartwatches because of screen space.
Can you make up your mind if a smaller or a larger display is better? Or is it "whatever Apple doesn't use"?
I just turn the damned phone off. You need to do it. Unless you are getting paid overtime DON'T answer calls outside business hours.
I just called to tell you you missed your fathers funeral because you refused to even see who was calling to inform you he died.
What about the millions of people who want other people to think they are douches? They need a douchewatch.
It's called "Galaxy Gear" - Nothing says douche quite like "Look what a nice movie I made of you stalking you with my watch".
they use iPhones for toilet paper.
And they certainly wouldn't use Android even for that.
