Who needs a faster watch? Who really? Speak up and let me know what a faster watch will do to improve your timekeeping or anything else for that matter?

The faster you can complete a process the sooner you can go back to low-power mode; you can either extend battery life or make the battery smaller for reduced weight.

Hopefully it is 24 GB of RAM.

RAM is power-hungry (relative to other components) which is why the iPhone has always shipped with less RAM than most people expected. I'd be surprised if that approach changes for the AVP. I would guess the plan is for anything that requires relatively large amounts of RAM or processing power to be handed off to a Mac.

"Apple is the most product-placed brand in both film and TV, appearing around three times more often than rival Dell, although Apple only recently overtook Dell's share of the personal computer market," say the researchers.

"Rival." Hahahaha!

This looks like an interesting product but their website illustration of it is awful. It does not show all the ports in a static view. The spec list says there is an SD card slot but I  can't see it in the visuals. Where is it?

An SD card slot would make it a 10-port hub. Sounds like an error in the marketing materials.

Remember decades ago when "Free Wi-Fi" was heavily marketed and security experts who warned about the safety issues were told their worries were unrealistic? Good times.
