My concern would be alcohol poisoning.

How about Tim Cook "Bingo card" with all of the"apple-isms on display to follow along with the audio stream.

Did Tim use the word "profound" yet?
Yes
Tim also gave a much more compelling reason for why the Watch will succeed. Can't wait.
apple to stream. A.K.A we cannot view it reliably
edit: everyone who has tried to steam WWDC knows what I mean.
My feeling is if the Watch was going to be the failure people say it is we'd be hearing a lot more negative rumors about the product. We'd be hearing rumors about people leaving the Watch team or being upset with the leadership/direction of the product. So far we've heard none of that. The only rumor that could be considered negative is battery life issues. I honestly believe if this product really was a dud the rumor mill would be reflecting that.
I think it's way too early to guess. We'r enot seeing very much because Apple is being very tight with the Watch so far.
aside from a few people in the wild for testing (who probably have signed NDA), and Apple employees. Nobody has them yet. everything we've talked about with the watch over the last few weeks has been mostly rumour and conjecture.
however, I dont think there's anything fundamentally wrong with the Apple Watch. The looks are subjective and the product features again, are subjective in use.
I don't think it's going to be the resounding success (it won't fail though) that many people htink it will be because it's a smartwatch, and Apple really hasn't done much to distinguish themselves here as anything better than the competition. it's still a blank square black screen, with a metal frame.
There's not enough here, just like all the other competition to make standard watch wearers to suddenly forego their watch, which is closer to jewelry, and its unlikely you're suddenly going to convince the masses of non watch wearers to start wearing one regularly (especially one you have to charge everyday, or multieple times a day). Ad on the requirement to have an iPhone and Apple is facing an uphill climb.
However it is Apple. The RDF is strong and there are enough millions of people who will buy it just because it has the logo somewhere on it.
First $700 billion company! Apple closed at $122.02 today. Its market cap of $710.74 billion is nearly double Google's.
What was Microsoft's market cap at its peak if you adjust for inflation? Apple's got to be getting close to that now.
