I don't know why you're addressing me with this particular post. I'm not the one being all chicken little about this. I merely pointed out that Android Wear (being Google and promoted by some on this forum as only being about advertising) currently has no ads.
Got a tip for us?

Is this a joke? I'm no longer interested in an iWatch. Seriously, the product isn't even on the market already and they already are planning on bombarding us with more ads. Screw that!
Ohhh, LOVE it!!! Can't wait to get an Apple Watch complete with ads! Save you money and get a real watch, people. Not some gadget that will be obsoloted in 2 years.
(I so hope this is true)
----------
Gosh the Apple Watch sure is fugly.
----------
...And all the fanboys will still be lapping it up.
----------
If you're going to drop $500-$600 on a piece of geek tech, hope you don't mind it beoming outdated within 2 years.
----------
Not yet.

Do you typically wear a television on your wrist?

Brian Buttplug what on Earth does po^H^H mean? Is that some form of chemical formula like:
Example A
If pH= 6.1 and pOH=14-pH pOH=14-6.1=7.9
[H+]=10-pH so [H+]=10-6.1 [H+]=7.9x10-7M
[OH-]=10-pOH so [OH-]=10-7.9 [OH-]=1.2x10-8M
Example B
If pOH= 3.7 and pH=14-pOH pH=14-3.7=10.3
[H+]=10-pH so [H+]=10-10.3 [H+]=5.0x10-11M
[OH-]=10-pOH so [OH-]=10-3.7 [OH-]=2.0x10-4M
Example C
If [H+]=1.5x10-6M and pH =-log[H+]
pH =-log1.5x10-6M pH=5.82
If pH= 5.82 and pOH=14-pH pOH=14-5.82=8.18
[OH-]=10-pOH so [OH-]=10-8.18 [OH-]=6.6x10-9M
Example D
If [OH-]=8.1x10-4M and pOH =-log[OH-]
pOH =-log8.1x10-4M pOH =3.09
If pOH= 3.09 and pH=14-pOH pH=14-3.09=10.91
[H+]=10-pH so [H+]=10-10.91 [H+]=1.2x10-11M
Those ads that swallow my whole 13 inch laptop screen when I accidentally roll my mouse pointer over it. I'd like to strangle those developers.
What's the point of mentioning it other than being a subtle dig at Watch (even though this is nothing official and for all we know Apple will never allow it, or if they do it will be completely opt-in).
Good catch.

I asked this once here, and someone told me. He means that he typed "po" when starting to type a certain word that rhymes with "corn" then deleted the two characters. It's an old joke explained here: http://wooledge.org/~greg/^H.html

For all of those complaining, it seems you don't realize that Google ads already size to the Apple Watch and will already be there. It's not as if we were going to get away with being ad-free on the device if companies didn't create dedicated products for it.
Also seems you don't realize what advertising pays for. I'm willing to bet countless services you use are paid for by ads. Use Twitter, Facebook, MacRumors, or any Google product?
It's not awesome but it's a necessary evil.
The thing is that some people might want to pay for certain apps and be ad-free, but the developer only makes a free ad-supported version, no version without ads or an IAP to remove them. There are plenty of apps that nobody would pay for, so it's probably a good thing overall to have an ad platform, but there is a disadvantage.
----------
Then you should avoid downloading apps with ads. They actually do have the right to advertise if you do that.
Mark Twain had knights walking around with soap advertising on their shields in A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court. Mark Twain was a prophet.

Advertisers are already figuring out how to project ads onto the sky using satellites. Next they will be writing on the moon.

After a year of dealing directly with advertising, I wish most of it would just slowly die. People should pay more for stuff so we didn't constantly get hit with billboards across our faces.
I pay for a newspaper digital subscription because the paid site had maybe two or three banner ads per page instead of what seems to be 20 with those annoying Flash ads on the free site.
Honestly, I'd love a version of Facebook that had zero ads and zero tracking. I know that will never happen, but it's creepy when I look at light switches online and then Facebook is advertising them to me a minute later.

I think it's because you used the word "ironically," suggesting that it doesn't exist on Android wear, when a similar system seems to exist.
Also I love how Macrumors created panic amongst readers over ads when they're the ones benefiting from said panic through more ad views.
You have to keep in mind that we still basically live in the stone age. We are stuck on this rock called Earth, we still have cancer and people dying of old age. People of the future will look at today like we look at the barbaric times of 1500.

On the phone, we don't get ads when we check our email or use the phone app or chat.

I will be incredibly shocked if Apple approves this.
They are being incredibly protective of the Apple Watch as a platform.
----------
"They" meaning an advertising company, not Apple.
Apps that do this aren't going to get approved.
Dreadful. If I was tempted by the thought of an Apple watch before I am now a little less tempted.
Yet another product that answers a question nobody asked (except tech journalists looking to hype...anything...for a story).
Bought a Nexus 5 instead of upgrading from an iPhone 4s to the 6 because the text is too small to read in critical areas where the size -can't- be adjusted. Don't have this issue on the Nexus at all.
I'd like to upgrade from my 2012 mini but the 2014 models are slower and can't be upgraded by the user. Who approves this stuff?
Typical Jony Ive worthless garbage. He will be the death of Apple.

There will be tons of Apps for the iWatch that will be add supported. They are already being designed. Why would it be any different than the iPhone?? In fact I think it will be worse because instead of banner ads etc. because of screen real estate all the ad placements I've seen will pop up full screen for a bit.
Get used to it!
