I know I'm dating myself, but does anyone remember the Apple TimeBand made by Frog Design in 1991 (running System 7)? Love the little yellow track ball!

Looks like a scam Kickstarter.

Even if it was real they missed the best feature which is the wheels! Been on the lookout for a PC case with wheels since the Mac Pro was unveiled.

Well, there was the (now very old)

CRAY CX1 SUPERCOMPUTER

This is another great step in providing some of the basic 'futuristic' benefits of technology to help the vision-impaired. I have a couple of friends and family who could have used this to provide them with greater freedom and access to the resources in the world around them, rather than avoiding situations or feeling frustrated with having to ask for assistance. Well done, Microsoft! Apple has always been a leader in providing 'Accessibility' enhancements in their devices, and this takes things another step forward. Unless you have been blind yourself, it is difficult to understand how much we depend on vision to live our lives.

I was waiting for X but might go for 8 here are my 4 main concerns: 1. that no bezel makes it difficult to handle without touching screen [iPad 10.5 issue] 2. have heard problems about battery life despite it being bigger than the iPhone 8 3. is it really worth 20% more than an 8 when it is already redundant 4. wearing glasses I like touch ID and might not want to trade it for face recognition where you have to lift the phone in front of your face every time you switch on [biggest concern]

I've had my iPhone X for about a week now. Wearing glasses was a worry for me too. However, I've had zero problems with FaceID wearing three very different pairs of glasses, including sunglasses - still unlocks flawlessly. The only time I get a 'lock wiggle' (does not instantly unlock - please try again) is if I glance sideways from an off angle then I sometimes have to look at the phone a bit straighter-on to get it to unlock. No biggie...

Today I put a nice spigen "Rugged Crystal" cover on it, and can say that my background anxiety about accidentally dropping the phone greatly reduced!

Trump can tell Apple where to make its computers after he stops having his buildings constructed using imported overseas laborers and his Trump line of business clothing sewn in overseas sweat shops.
