  • LTE Apple Watch will keep current form factor, be offered alongside standard versions

    If I have to buy another ground up data plan then NO for me.  I have data for phone and another for ipad PRO.  I am not going to spend $100/month on data.  If it can piggyback on one of my existing carriers even for a small fee, I am in.

  • With Apple rumored to launch Siri home speaker, Amazon preps flagship touchscreen Echo

    Wait til the hackers get into that camera........Vivid will have a lot of fresh new "amateur" material. I wouldn't let my sister have one at all. Might be good for kim kardashian.

  • On its 2nd anniversary, Apple Watch settling into role as fitness & notification wearable ...

    I once forgot to charge my Apple watch which is an integral part of my working out.  I bought a second one, different color, for just in case.  I read Jony Ivy based the Apple watch design on the Cartier "Santos" watch which I once owned.  I have an 18K Cartier "Panthere" now which I never wear which also has a square face.   I would have no use for a round form factor.  What I would like is a matrix configuration for the apps instead of that stupid moving bubble which makes no sense to me in a square environment.  Were Apple to give me that option and an LTE version that could piggyback on my data plan with little or no increase, I'd be in heaven.

  • Apple patent filing reveals work on circular displays for Apple Watch

    A pair of Apple patent filings published Thursday reveal ongoing research into circular displays suitable for wearable devices, suggesting the company was at least mulling the creation of a round-faced Apple Watch.


    Gawd no...say it ain't so.  There is a reason computer screens are rectangular and not round.  My Cartier Panthere and Cartier Tank Americaine are rectangular as is the Cartier Santos which was Jony Ivy's initial inspiration.  If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

  • Mysterious overnight activity at Apple stores presages Thursday's Mac event

    Purchase a clue.  Steve Jobs passed.  Henry Ford passed.  Henry Morrison Flagler passed.  Commodore Vanderbilt passed.  John Rockefeller passed.  Andre Carnegie passed.  John Ringling passed.  The list is long.  When the visionary dies, the essence that made the true greatness almost always goes.  Steve ain't coming back so deal with what you've got, which are still some pretty great products if not as great as those of old.  Of course you could always start your own path of greatness.  Barring that, sit down in the back of the class, your head is too big for many to see around.
