Hoping that Apple settles with writers separately. 

It doesn't work that way with Union strikes!

I think Rebecca Ferguson is just fine for the role.  I wouldn't want Queen Latifah in that role.  I'm not a fan of her in Equalizer either.  I couldn't get past more than a couple of episodes before I stopped watching.  I was hoping it would be good.  I really enjoyed the Original series.  Gina Carano could have worked, but it's just way too late now to change the lead.  Rebecca Ferguson isn't a threat which is why he was almost killed being thrown over the stairs and almost fell.  Held on for dear life before getting help.

To everyone celebrating this EU overreach against Google, your favorite company is next in the barrel. Careful what you wish for, won't you?

Exacxly!!!  I don't see the Issue.  It's Google's services and so they should have every right to promote their services above others.  If you don't like it, Ignore the Google stuff and that includes Google Search.  There is BING and DuckDuckGo for example.   I know the EU government thinks everyone there is a complete idiot and need to be lead around on a leash because you can't think for yourself.  That you all are really dumb.  That you need the Government to tell you want to do, or force companies to do dumb things.  Most of the time it's just another huge fine on an American company to bring in more money for the Government.  I hate having to defend Google!!!!  The EU just treats all its citizens as dumb children.   That is a fact. They are on a power trip.

So nothing like spending another $160 on top of the $3500, for what looks more uncomfortable.  I also expect larger battery packs.  SInce the one you get only lasts about 2 hours.  So why not ones that last 3,6, to 8 hours?  

I think Apple got their Wishlist of things they wanted to do and a low price point wasn't one of them.   I think it's amazing and if I had $3500 to blow on something like this, I'd get it.   I have other things I need to spend my money on.  Far more important things.  I wouldn't get a first gen device anyway.  I'd wait for at least a second gen device.  My first iPhone was the iPhone 4.    

I also wouldn't take this thing out in public as you'd get mugged for it.  It's $3500 and small enough to grab and run and sell for $100 for more drugs.  Easy money!!!!  I would like to try it out.   It's going to take time for the apps to come out. But if few people buy it because of the price, not many apps will be developed for it. Just another reason to wait for a Second-gen unit.
