  • Leaked photo of Meta's upcoming smartwatch reveals Apple Watch-esque design

    slow n easyslow n easy
    Meta is a very uninspiring name choice. It’s hard to predict their downfall with such an extremely large base but I wouldn’t be surprise if this were the beginning of the end for them. I’m predicting that the watch will fail for sure.

  • Hands on: Should you buy the Nike or standard aluminum Apple Watch Series 7

    I agree with Roake, to hell with Nike. I do like the perforated silicone band though as it keeps the skin cool and less sweaty/itchy... But I will sweat and itch to deprive Nike of a few bucks lol.
    Or you could pair the watch with a fabric or leather band. I wanted to try the Braided Solo Loop but there were very few choices at the time of my purchase so I had to go with the Silicone one because that was what was available at the time. I just checked the store and if I were buying one today I would get the blue case with the blue braided solo loop. But I already have a Leather Link band which I absolutely love and I also have a Nomad leather band with a buckle. With the leather bands I don’t sweat like I do with the silicone bands.

  • Apple Watch Series 7 review: Bigger than you think

    I ordered the 7. It’s only $219 with my trade in, which I think is pretty reasonable. I wanted to upgrade for the bigger and brighter screen and then secondly for the faster charging.

    Which poison pill will Apple swallow? Will they aid the Chinese authoritarian regime and protect their profits from China? Or will they protect their customers from the authoritarian regime? 

    I have a feeling it's the first option that Apple will choose. 
    How about Ford? Samsung? How about Microsoft? Are you recommending that companies ignore local laws? I'm all for a single international government, but something tells me you just want things different ways on different days. A multinational company has no ability to ignore local/national laws. Just as a British company doing business in the US has to follow US Laws.

    I don't have an answer here except that in the future this will be a huge issue. Cars will have nav and communication, as will TV's and glasses and coats. 'Data' and all it has grown to encapsulate will only get to be a bigger part of every companies business. So do US companies just ignore the rest of the world when they hit a national law that goes against, well, what exactly? My idea of 'freedom'? Texas' idea of freedom? It's a much more complicated and nuanced issue I think. US businesses wouldn't do well if we decide to ignore every country that has onerous laws. I think everyone happily sells in Saudi Arabia, not even close to being a bastion of freedom. Again, I don't have the answer but it's silly to put this down to 'profit or capitulation' as I'm not even sure exactly what laws in other countries you don't like.
    I’m not sure why you are equating British, EU, US, or other Western countries’ laws with China. And this has nothing to do with China being a communist country. It is a surveillance state that allows zero political dissent, and the people have no say in how they are governed. Why encourage this?

  • Snap stock plunges as Apple privacy changes impact revenue

    slow n easyslow n easy
    I was laughing so hard when I read that the stock price plunged after Snap increased it’s revenue only by a paltry 57%.
