My watch tells the time and date, just another device to create a need that doesn't [yet] exist.
God I miss the RAZR days with T9 text and people actually made phone calls to get together in person. Now, it's "Angry Birds [insert name]", Facebook, Instagram, texting and no one calls.
In fact, I've been on here for years, and yet, I don't really know any of you.

I miss threads such as these:
Leopard iChat Answering Machine
ZFS in Snow Leopard CLIENT is confirmed!
You know, OS X MAC related news, before iOS and iDevices dominated the consumer market and MacRumors had more confirmed news on OS X beta development, new systems, displays, desktops, and less analyst speculation and images of rumored new iPhone parts.
Not that I dislike it, I just wish there was more OS X Mac news in MacRumors.

Whoa...nasty looking little buggers!!
I wouldn't wear it on a bet...
I bet you would.
Maybe because it's an actual product now and not a kickstarter. The reality set in.

Apple announces the iWatch - macrumor user 1st in line.

To me it's the same as having a weather widget on your phone. It's redundant. You have an app that can tell you much more about what the weather is going to be like for that day. 99.9% of people don't need to check the weather every 5 minutes. Weather alerts, now that's different I guess. But that falls in line with notifications, not what the current weather is going to be.
As far as real watches go. It's much more convenient to take a quick glance at my watch to see what time it is. It's something a device that stays ony side or pocket can never replace.
Why is Glee such a big hit? A musical? In prime time? Who would watch such a thing? Big fail in IMO.
Pebble and beyond...
...I can see it now.
<cue cheesy fade in music/>
First, the Pebble came out...
...Next Apple creates the iWatch
it has a great new color screen that is way more colorful than the Pebble's
but the battery drains quickly
...Then Google comes out with the Gwatch
it has a larger color screen and is somehow less quality, but because it has a bigger screen and a faster processor, the Android fanatics swoon over it as WAY BETTER than the iWatch
...Rinse and repeat every few months as countless other manufacturers release their iterations of the same watch. These have ever increasing screen sizes and faster, more robust specs
...Then another watch is made by MS that has a snappy new block interface with a detachable keyboard and...
...After all is said and done we will be wearing our 5 inch screens on our wrists because a typical watch face is too small and the size of the cases were too small for batteries with any decent life to them.

Mark my words.

I don't necessarily think so, but they do miss someone to push ideas to the next level of products.
Pebble Rough around the edges
I still cant get over how ugly the pebble watch is in comparison to the previous generation ipod nano. I certainly would never buy one in fact since I bought my new macbook I've stopped wearing a watch incase it scratched the casing where my palms rest.

Anyone ever installed homebrew and if so, how safe is it? You have to install it as an admin.... me not like this...
