Colbert's 'Late Show' skewers cost, content of Apple's new design book
I was honestly hoping that that would be a lot funnier than it was. The "fake product reveal" videos are so old and cliche that it was actually painful to watch.
Back to the drawing board! The embarrassing thing is that even Apple is better at making fun of itself. Remember that one keynote where they had all of those skits that had every Apple fan in stitches? Or how they began WWDC 15. FAVORITE. -

Fitbit's 'basic' devices dominate wearables market, Apple Watch sneaks into third
This reminds me a lot of how Blackberry did business. Their theory was that people didn't want a device that did more, they wanted one that would do less. The early Blackberry devices (think Leapfrog) did only email and, of course, calls. It was, as I've heard it, awesome. Of course more complex, multi-tasky glowy glass bricky devices won the day, led by iPhone. But Fitbit has tapped into the design idea that made Blackberry so popular: less is more.Of course Fitbit and Apple are competing in different markets. Fitbit refuses to call even it's most smart-watchy watch a smart watch. Fitbit is trying to point out the obvious. Their devices do different things. Fitbit is focusing almost solely on fitness tracking, whereas Apple has made, really, the only true smartwatch on the market. It will be interesting to see how this shakes out. -
