AppleInsider said:

When a user takes a hard fall, Fall Detection will prompt the user to respond and dismiss the notification or contact first responders. If the user doesn't dismiss the dialog within one minute, the Apple Watch will do so automatically.

This is incorrect. If the user doesn't dismiss the dialog, the watch will contact 911 automatically and not dismiss the dialog automatically.

I think it also sends a message to your emergency contacts

Correct, but I also believe that's what the author meant, albeit in a roundabout way and grammatically ambivalent. It's a great feature even though I've had more than a dozen false positives, but better safe than sorry. I only wish the alert sound and haptic pattern could be as loud and hard as the watch can muster and have a more robust and distinctive sound and taps, the current alert is somewhat wimpy and doesn't stand out all that much relative to all the other notification sounds. A few of those false alarms were caught just in time.

I was wondering when they would finally release this, it was being hinted for some time and Philips had this feature built into some of their first plasma TVs 2 decades ago. As an early adopter of Hue lights I've been waiting for this for awhile. In the meantime I did use 2 Hue lights on goose necks illuminating the back wall behind the TV. It's not modulated of course but it brings a nice ambiance with some programming, rock concerts in particular where you can sometimes just tweak the colour from song to song. Would've been even nicer had they modulated the bars in 2 or 3 segments.

1. Hentaiboy: AppleInsider does, in fact, still post AAPL stock price in the upper right of its masthead on the main page.

I believe the AAPL stock price could be just a US thing now, or selected countries, as I haven't seen it here in Canada since the big redesign.

It only shows up at the 1200px breakpoint. I don't even browse in windows that wide on my 30" desktop monitor. 

Aha !!! Thank you. It does indeed show up when you stretch wide enough — or make the font smaller. I don't browse that wide either.
