One of the best features of the Apple Watch was the magnet that aligned it perfectly when on the charger.  I'm surprised it took this long to spread.  I replaced most of my flat chargers with stand style chargers mainly because with the stand chargers the phone is aligned and charges flawlessly where the flat disks if the phone is slightly off and you don't notice you might think it's charging, but it isn't.

We CAN actually do everything we want, we just may not like it cuz it isn't "pretty" or "clean". 

eGPU is max 4x PCI express lanes.  Native slots offer up to 16x - it's not remotely the same.

Note the mention of iLok copy protection.  Copy protection software is basically a root kit running on your machine.  If there's any shade to be thrown I'd start focusing on that crap first. 

The titanium is intriguing, but I still prefer the lightest weight option - aluminum.  Which, as a Cheap Bastard™, also rewards me from that perspective too

It's nice that all the aluminum colors are the same price now - charging more for black when it debuted was obnoxious.  

The Milanese Loop is indeed a work of metal art, but I've been extremely pleased with the velcro loop bands (whatever they call them) - light weight and astonishingly durable.  I garden and do other crap with the watch on and the dirt rinses right out and the band dries amazingly fast.  Whatever material Apple made them from was chosen wisely!

Microsoft, like most companies, wasn't willing to "knife the baby" - they couldn't let go of Windows desktop as the center of the universe and paid the price.

Apple has embraced their products being eclipsed by the natural follow on - and ensured they were eclipsed by another Apple product.  Witness iPod to iPhone.  Microsoft just couldn't get their head wrapped around that and they paid the price for it with Windows, Windows, Windows!
