Wouldn’t mind it if they engineered a Liquid Metal body version to replace the ceramic. Or a transparent diamond case... that would be pretty spectacular.

I'm a big fan of the natural titanium. It looks great and has been pretty durable but not as durable as the ceramic.

I want the natural titanium, and I wanted it last year; but not without a matching Milanese loop.

I bought a Milanese loop with the Series 2 stainless steel and vowed never to buy one again because the Milanese actually scratched the heart rate sensor. Not a great design.

Not sure how you managed to do that. I'm 5+ years into having stainless steel watches with the Milanese loop without any problems.

So… still no obvious choice available on the market for a HomeKit doorbell (heck, I'd even be happy without video, as long as I get proper HomeKit notifications); without some sort of third party requirements for it to work?

We all know that Apple cords are notoriously bad and fall apart at the connection point.

As a 25+ years customer of Apple that's happened to me exactly once; and that was with a laptop cord that I used to wrap hard around the brick.

Not sure how people go about wearing out their cables all the time; and as a long-term Apple user I have about a gazillion spares.

Dear Ad Companies,

Here's the dialogue on this:

You don't have and never had the right to track us like you do.  There's nothing special about being on the web that ever gave your the right to stalk us and/or sell our information to others.  Somehow TV, radio and print advertising has managed to survive all these years without being able to snoop on everything we do.  You will live without this information also.

Get over it.

Signed,
Everyone

Here's the thing…

When I went to the website of [this local brand] and searched for all black sneakers, then that resulted in me all over the web getting ads for all black sneakers from that web shop.

Who's to blame for that?! The evil tracking advertising company, or the web shop that intentionally set that up?!

That's a fairly simple question to answer. We get the feeling that that web shop, one way or another, decided that they wanted to really really really remind me about what I earlier showed an interest in. So, we feel that the web shop is to blame for wanting this.

I actually completely stopped buying products from them because it was impossible to browse products in their web shop without getting all these targeted ads. It creeped me out being reminded about all the tracking going on.

But… what about the less obvious occurrences?

My local newspaper has ads on their website, and they do just as much tracking as that web shop. Who's to blame there?

It felt obvious to blame the "greedy" web shop; but isn't the newspaper just as much to blame?

Why even blame the ad company at all, when it's all these places adding the ads that make the choice that their customers should be tracked to increase profit?!

Sure, the ad companies are *ssh*les, no doubt about it; but shouldn't it be the companies that chose to give them the space needed to do their shady business that get our anger? The web shops and newspapers and so on?
