I certainly don't know what you are ranting about... Do you?
He's not ranting. He's pointing out that you're not thinking with an Apple mindset—which is to say, focus. There are a thousand things Apple could do, but they must say no to most of them. Otherwise they would indeed make fridges and smart nose rings.
With a camera on your wrist, the world is about to see selfies most of us would rather not see. Given the parts of our anatomies our hands (and wrists) migrate to and from regularly (depending on how regular you are), we're going to see selfies only urologists and proctologists would love.
Proctologist: the branch of medicine concerned with the anus and rectum.
Analyst: the branch of financial advice concerned with the anus and rectum.
Could someone please explain to me what this has to do with Apple?
People think Apple might bring out a smartwatch, so they're looking at other companies' efforts in the meantime to try and second guess what Apple might come out with.
Its a shame that iTunes is a complete abortion of a bloated, system killing pile of turd on Windows. If anything I'd say it helped turn many people off from buying a Mac

The Sammy watch is of interest to many here, because it is potentially a competitor to an Apple product ...
On several occasions, Tim has stated that Apple is quite interested in "wearables".
As an Apple customer and aapl shareholder, I, for one, care very much about activity in this space ...
Including things like this:
Dick, Edison concerns me far more than anything that scamsung is up to with Tizen or independently in hardware. Intel has the interest and expertise to pull Apple down, in light of Apple moving away with continued development of ARM chips. I listened to your video with only half-interest until Wolfram was mentioned. I have written here before that I think Apple and Wolfram should work closely together. Steve Jobs and Stephen Wolfram were friends and the Mac has always been a Mathematica host. However, with SJ's passing I am concerned about Wolfram moving away. Interesting that Mathematica is mentioned in the video. I feel quite strongly that at any juncture, today's technical computing shapes tomorrow's CE, including at any time over the past 30 years or more. In the late 1990's I was granted a provisional patent on a system that ran Linux (Red Hat) and incorporated low-level sensors and I/O. This is exactly what all smartphones and tablets do today when talking to accelerometers, gyroscopes and other devices. My employer rejected an offer for the rights from a very big US industrial company and eventually, others flew past.
I believe that ultimately, Wolfram Research (http://www.wolfram.com/company/background.html) will be more important to modern computing than Google or scamsung and hope beyond hope that Apple is intimately familiar with developments, in a working capacity. Tim should nurture a relationship with Wolfram. Mathematica will run on Edison, it should run on the iPhone and iPad too. Algorithm and code development occur so quickly under Mathematica due to its fully symbolic capability. No other application offers the sheer power of Mathematica. Peruse http://mathematica.stackexchange.com to witness the capacity and rigour of Mathematica aficionados. Apple needs these minds working with their hardware.
With the iPad, Apple executed a brilliant end-run around the whole notion and industry of personal computing, obviating for many, many people the need even to own a PC. Others are fully aware of this, not the least Intel. scamsung attempted the same by pinching every possible design idea incorporated into the iPhone and using its industrial capability in an attempt to out-manufacture Apple. The pace of innovation is such that Apple could be sidelined very quickly if SJ-like vision is lost. Google, scamsung and Amazon won't be the culprits though but a new democratised, distributed, popular movement that recognises the power of low-level hardware running high-level applications such as Mathematica. I hope Apple is 'on the ball'.
I would be outraged if I had paid $300 for a device that was replaced/enhanced less than 6 months later. Now it appears they are coming out with black, white, and gold gs5's with fingerprint sensor. Are they just building stuff on the fly? Why not just buy iphones from apple and put their names on them?

I don't see how anyone can reasonably be upset by new products being released unless the old product stops working as a result. The only reason to care is the irrational and prideful desire to say you have the latest model.
I would never want to wear a bulky watch like this.
Buying a Samsung product, any Samsung product, is difficult for me. I really think this company has built it's business on technology theft. Their scandalous ripoff of Apple's iPhone and iPad designs is really disgusting. It is a company that operates like the Mafia.

<p>While I agree with you in principle, most products -- even personal electronics -- have some sort of nearly set revision rate. </p>
Lately, it seems that AI is slow to cover breaking stories such as this.
Edit: as I write this, ARS has more than a four hour lead
It probably took them a few minutes to receive the email saying that 1 of the other sites has changed and then 3.5 hours to write their own version of the article. AI hasn't done any original reporting for a long time. It's just slow copies of other sites, barrel scraping and opinions by DED.
AI is the catch-up TV of all the other sites like BGR, Macrumors, 9to5mac etc.
All that SameDung does is copy everything from Apple. I for one am sick of it. Apple cannot be the R and D lab for an entire industry!
Since Apple does not have a wearable device of any kind, I am not sure what you mean. Are you saying Samsung is copying FUTURE Apple products. Pretty cool, if true.
I find the idea of a camera in a watch bizarre and ridiculous. It sounds exotic, like a spy gadget, but the reality of trying to use it?
Samsung is flailing in the dark with these updates. The design is so chunky and outdated. A black and white screen!
I'm not at all convinced that Apple are going to bring out a smartwatch or some such thing. I hope they do, though. I think they would need two sizes for men and women. The hiring of Angela wotshername might have been a nod to the fashion element of a watch.
But Tim Cook himself said that not many young people wear watches these days. A bracelet? Can't see too many guys wearing them. Maybe it'll be something integrated into wireless headphones—Apple like to combine things.
Cook has teased that it's a ring; it would be quite funny if it were!
OK, don't buy one then. A camera in a watch is very cool.
Delusional. Samsung is only 'good' at copying. They don't have the means to develop something competitive with the PlayStore or AppStore. They can't support developers as Google does, update their OS as Google does. They don't have the level of service Google has. Anyone who thinks they can needs a reality check. Samsung is nothing without Google.
Yes, those TVs, tractors, ultra books -- all Google!

Hey here's a new one for Samsung: Shitty shitty Scam! Scam!
Very good. The ageing of a new yawn.
Doesn't that say more about Windows?

Not at all.

It looks like pretty much any watch
Like any watch? What watches are you looking at!?
ETA: Here's Macy's "Watches" page, for instance.
