$70 is a bit pricy when compared to standard units, That market is basically like the razor market - the companies sell razors cheap and make money off the blades. With blood monitoring the test strips are the money maker. Against this option is …

When looking at new cars these days my first issue3 is how easy is it to get in and out. I'm 74 so that is more important to me than when I was 16 and driving my Father's Triumph TR-3. It's also important to look at the ease of using parking lot…

I'm not concerned about individual apps replacing iTunes as long as the music I've purchased (via iTunes or physical CDs) is still available, Playlists are intact and sync with my iPhone still works. I do seem to remember that iTunes was getting a …

China can make noise from time to time, but they know that Apple generates jobs in China and their markets oriented middle class also knows that. Just as important is that China knows that other countries (like India) would love to take on more App…

While Apple was soaring and started paying dividends I was concerned about ensuring a large cash holding that could last through another Great Recession, allowing Apple to gain in strength instead of struggling. Now it is not a great recession that…

hammeroftruth said: Not if the general public balks at a $1000 iPhone. If Apple’s products were made here, they would be much more expensive, unless Apple used some of it’s cash horde to offset the cost to the customer. That’s not gonna hap…

I would hope that Apple uses the stage multiple times in public events. Special free concerts in places like New York's Central Park. With Apple's international success there are unlimited locations that are historic and a natural for the Rainbow …

The other potential risk for many people is the hair and dandruff from dogs and cats, My granddaughter is exceptionally sensitive and starts having breathing problems if there is a dog or car in a store the size of The Gap. Getting out fast is oft…

Apple, since the days of Steve Jobs, has excelled at designing and developing stores that are, in themselves a draw for people. Look at the New York City Glass Cube, with the glass staircase. Brilliant concept and it more than paid of. I'm loade…

JWSC said:When they hired Ron Johnson they wanted to move the JCP profile to a younger generation because they realized that the loyal generation that had been shopping with them for years was retiring and would have less money to spend. Unfort…

I'm 75 in August and have had a few falls lately so my first priority in an Watch was the fall detection. As a Diabetic I'm now waiting for Blood Sugar monitoring and will probably go for another "new" Watch when that feature is developed. The…

The potential of bringing N Times and WaPo will depend on how strong Apple's growth turns out to be. Internationally Apple's news programs can reach tens of millions of subscribers. If there is a major story out of Congress then interested people…

I might be too old for this. My priorities are the traditional ABC, CBS, NBC fans PBS. The commercial Big 3 are delivering local news plus all 3 have sophisticated Weather Radars (we live in Tornado Ally) which is important for severe weather, PB…

Thanks for that comment. I believe that the key is that I may use EKG, but I don''t rely on it - I tend to see the Doc a few times a year. The critical app for me is fall detection and that means I only take it of for recharging when I'm going.set…

OK I'm starting to get old - half way through 74. I've had a few falls, but some were just stumbles. I take my heart & blood pressure fairly religiously. The wife and daughter bought me an Watch for Christmas Fall and Heart detections wer…

The first thing that came to mind with 419,093 participants is what other studies can Stanford and Apple carry out with that huge patient base. Is the data limited to AFib collection only or was there a sufficient data line for each patient/event t…

This project might be best when it is used to generate data you can take to your Doctor, or a trained Sleep Doctor. Restless Sleep Syndrome (RLS) will be one area that Apple's program captures for medical reviews. Untreated Sleep Apnea is another i…

This can be a. important feature for Vets of all ages. I'm from the Vietnam era, but there are older Vets than me. For some from WW II and Korea the system would support the older Vets, or their family/care giver. Since the VA is one of the long…

I would be surprised if Apple did not come out with blood glucose readings (without finger pricks) at some point - Tim Cook was reported to have lost 30 pounds when using "something" tied to his watch. When you get the CEO's attention you get the w…
