The diagnostic port is hidden by a cover. I'd be interested to see if removing the cover adversely affect's the watch's water resistance. Also, having those electrical connections directly exposed to water, sweat, etc. cannot be good.
Yup. I have Little Snitch, and love it. But using it to detect traffic external to the Mac it is used on made no sense. The original post makes it clear Little Snitch was only used to rule out the Mac.
Salt Lake area resident here. The data center is easily visible from I-15, on a busy commute from Salt Lake County to Utah County. I am sure the blimp would have been visible to tens of thousands of people on their commutes to work.
I've been using it on my 5 for over a week now (I installed the GM shortly after it was released). Since I installed it pre-release, I did a restore instead of an upgrade. I've had snappy performance and great battery life. I suggest backing up and doing a restore.
I RTFA'ed. The short version seems to be:
1) Icons and dialogs are "flat" (similar to Windows 7, etc.)
2) "iOS 7’s animations are the kind that will prompt an 'ooh, neat' upon first use and then a slowly increasing sense of frustration as you begin noticing that trivial tasks take just a bit longer than they used to."
3) There's more content on the screen when browsing because common toolbars are shorter or disappear when not in use
4) Safari's new tabs view is cool because it displays content on multiple tabs at once (think looking down from a 3d perspective on the old tab views)
5) settings page accessible from home screen
6) full multitasking and better app switcher.
7) User can turn multitasking off on an app-by-app basis and track cellular usage on an app-by-app basis
8) revamped camera and photos app
9) revamped calendar app)
10) revamped notifications and alerts
11) all sorts of API improvements, the benefits of which will only become apparent when apps start to implement them right
12) revamped app updates
A few more off the top of my head...
13) Massively improved Siri (in a week's use, she's only misunderstood me a couple of times, she responds almost instantaneously, her results are much better, and her voice is much improved--and she's out of Beta on Apple's website)
14) App auto-updating (yes, realize this is an Android catch-up, and is somewhat a dupe of (12)...)
15) Handy new back gesture
16) Built-in itunes radio--handy for starting radio stations over Siri, such as while i'm on my motorcycle
17) Multi-page folders
18) Flickr and Vimeo deep integration
19) The ability to block numbers for calls, SMS, MMS, iMessages, FaceTime, etc.
20) Activation Lock
21) Apps popular near current location
22) Dynamic and Parallax wallpapers
Has Apple added extra buttons for a menu and a back button? That would be the most useful UI design change.
There is a new "back" gesture. In some apps (e.g., Safari, Settings, Mail, etc.) a swipe to the right from the left bezel will perform a back function.

I came to post the same. /.'s headlines have sure become click-baity and just plain inaccurate since their recent acquisition.
*affects. Pardon the stray apostrophe.

Ditto. I watched battery life closely the first couple days. After that, I haven't given it any thought.

Have you tried Little Snitch?
Another plug for Little Snitch. It does exactly what you are describing.
Doh! I _think you_ meant "for all intents and purposes."
for all intensive purposes
