So by saying "200B Large", then you're saying that Apple has $200 Trillion dollars in the bank.
That is a lot of bread man.

Someone has probably already mentioned this.. but you need to pair the remote if you have more then one device. In your Security & Privacy setting I believe (2013 rMBP, so no IR port).
Seriously, WTF MacRumors? Unnamed "sources" tell Fortune something and you run a declarative banner. A _named_ Apple spokesperson refutes that and ..... You let the BS banner stay unchanged. Stay classy MR. Stay classy.
I'm just teasing you...
Mac, meaning Macintosh, and later all things
Runors, meaning the reporting may not be base in fact,name have some conjecture...

Its unbelievable that a company of Apple's size still runs these products like grad school projects.
Of course the same case, let see whats going on but I have no much experience but Im excited about it
I will probably dip my toe into home automation using HomeKit over the next couple of years. As a renter, I won't be able to do much. My landlord may allow me to change out the front door lock, and of course I can install light bulbs. Other things are probably not in the cards, so I don't see myself getting an internet connected thermostat, garage door opener, or garbage disposal.
In two and a half years, I plan to build a home, and home automation will be part of the design. I can't wait to control the temperature in my geothermally heated and cooled lazy river pool from my Apple Watch and monitor the charge level of my Tesla Powerwall using my iPad.
I'll be watching developments in HomeKit compatible systems in the meantime.

It's how Apple got to be a company of Apple's size. Perhaps the companies that are running their projects in the "believable" way are the ones doing it wrong.

Amdahl's Law
This is a good example of Amdahl's law in action. Regardless of how much resources you have to throw at a problem, there will always be fixed time elements that cannot be made to go any faster. The cumulative time of these elements, where they are serial, will define the minimum time of the process. The problem is that quite often the minimum time of some processes depend upon the success of previous processes, and this is such as case in bringing the HomeKit to market. Microsoft defeated this by simply dropping features that weren't ready on time or budget, and Apple has adopted this to some extent as well. (re sapphire mix screens on iPhone 6) For the Homekit, it sounds like there are some fundamental problems, but I'm expecting that a release will happen onetime, but maybe a little lite in features.

Ok, perhaps more than an update at the bottom of the article is in order, perhaps an article Title correction? Apple has actually responded publicly, and the Article's title is blatantly false? At least put the update at the top of the article.
People posting obviously having seen only the Title and the first few sentences, and not the update at the end of the article.
Appreciate the education on Amdahl's law though
Hasn't it always been thus in the tech world? Stuff that isn't ready for prime time, on time, gets dropped to the next version?

So in other words, maybe in iOS 9.
BTW did they ever get HealthKit figured out? Or whatever it's called.

I agree...but I REALLY wish Apple would have taken control of the hardware instead of allowing 3rd parties to control it, pricing will remain $50 for a light bulb

Faced with a named source that definitively refutes the story and provides specific timelines, it is no longer a rumor. It is a falsehood. By your logic, when a rumor swirls of a star's death, then that person walks around the corner and says "here I am", you keep with the 'Mikey died from eating pop rocks and soda' lede. I never thought of MR as bush league. But there you go.
Update your headline to be more accurate in face of new, more sourced, information or stay on the junior varsity. Your call.
are you serious? You could download healthkit apps the day of the announcement

This articles title irritated me before i even read the article because I knew it was not going to be sourced from Apple. This site is so predictable.
Figures.
I was starting to get kind of excited for some simple home automation, and wanted to go with something that would work with my chosen ecosystem.
Looks like I will have to continue with some other options.

Here are a few to ponder.

I can attest to this along with SMB breaking on transferring videos with the despised message of this "File is in use" when it's not.
Nothing will make you scream more than a file that takes 30min. to transfer to your NAS then failing at the last byte
Its unbelievable that a site like MR will publish any garbage rumor, use the most clickbait title possible and don't have the integrity to fix it when it turns out absolutely false (correcting at the end is not the way it is done) and people like you, will then use this garbage "rumor" to rag on Apple....

When something is refuted it is not a rumor, and leaving the title like this with a correction a the very end of a long article is blatant misinformation and extreme bad journalism (or blogism). That means this site doesn't care about its integrity or its reputation and will do anything for money.
Then why are you here?
You seem to hate ANYTHING not Apple & provide strawman & diversions when real issues are focused on Apple.
I'm not sure if you're serious or not, but that article doesn't actually list a single security issue with the Apple Watch.
1. says people will be looking hard for vulnerabilities. Agreed.
2. points out that network communications have been hacked in the past. True.
3. points out that the data companies collect has not always been properly secured in the past. Agreed.
4. suggests that wireless network communications cannot be secured in a reasonable way. (Which is FUD -- unless you consider it reasonable to connect to an unknown network or device and then doing your online banking.)
5. says stolen credit cards could be used with Apple Pay, and Apple Pay can be used with Apple Watch. True.
6. again points out that Apple Pay does not solve the problem of stolen credit cards.
7. actually points out how tokenized payment systems like Apple Pay are more secure than ones that aren't tokenized.
8. vaguely suggests that Apple pay may not be 100% secure, that once unlocked for a specific payment, a charge can be made. (However, the person quoted either doesn't understand Apple Pay or was not talking specifically about it because NFC terminals, rouge or not, have no way to "slurp unauthorized payments".)
But not one of these are Apple Watch security issues. None of these are even problems with Apple Pay or the iPhone, but are rather preexisting problems that Apple Pay and the iPhone don't happen to solve.
I guess I'm still waiting to hear what the Apple Watch security issues are.
