holy shit! i died!

probably the funniest thing i've ever seen on the internet.

way better than all the "hitler reacts to..." videos.

still rockin OS 10.6.8 on my late 2008 macbook pro, btw.

i'll upgrade this year sometime but my current one still runs great.

it's OS bloat that causes the problem 99% of the time. 10.6.8 is lean, mean, and stable.

Yeah, Snow Leopard was a thing of beauty.

My 10 year old Powerbook runs perfectly on Tiger for making music, watching films etc.

Dingy '07 white MacBook checking in. 10.7 runs like a (gracefully aged) dream as long as I don't use Chrome.

lol it's getting ridiculous: http://9to5mac.com/2015/03/29/apple-store-revamp-for-apple-watch-revealed-magical-tables-demo-loops-sales-process/

I hope this bombs like that massive iPod speaker they tried to get you to buy about 10 years ago.

You guys are so closed minded, you have to let technology flow and see where it leads us, the iwatch can bomb like google glass or become of of those gadgets that changes everything, you got to see where it take us.

FLOL I like apple well enough, but "booking a try-on experience" makes me want to go into the nearest apple store and start flinging feces.

Then again I'm not in their target demographic for the smart watch, and they're probably going to sell out their stock within a month.

last time the iphone 6 was sold out almost instantly. I have seen them selling iphone like bread from a trolley on xmas it was kind of insane. This time it will be no different.

I never really understood being an early adopter of new tech. Get the fancy new gadget when there are better and cheaper alternatives.

I like the option to take remote selfies with the frontcamera

Looks pretty bad from that review. If I were getting a smart watch anytime soon, I think I go with one of the Android ones.

That seems to be the overall verdict: great potential, but wait for the next iteration for the must-have version.

Maybe there will be a platinum version addled with diamonds for hundreds of thousands of bux.

that will only work on the then current iPhone

i don't even know about the potential. this whole smart watch concept seems very half baked as an idea.

No, probably at least a generation or two back, typical of what Apple does support-wise. I would suspect an iPhone 4S at a minimum, just like iOS 8.

I give it a couple of months before we see DJ's doing audio stuff with their Smart Watch during a set.

anecdote tiem:

my girlfriend's dad is rather affluent and likes tech, i.e. drives a friggin Bentley but prefers his Tesla and loves to remote-control the horn from his iPhone for giggles. In other words, the perfect man to buy a apple watch. He responded to my question whether he's going to get one with "lol no".

Did he actually say "lol", if so that's great.

no but "lol no" is the best internet text space analogy for his prompt and succinct reaction.

I admit that I have said "lol no" IRL.

lol no

I really like this watch:
