Flyosity thinking much the same as me about the WATCH https://medium.com/@flyosity/inconvenient-truths-about-the-apple-watch-11bafa44551b

oh god, that final pic of the screen.

yeah jeez - we're done here

I know it's SOP for apple stuff but I always lol that these pieces start out with the writer establishing their cred like "I have have owned over 50 iPhones. I own a pair of New Balances that Steve Jobs wore that I got off of eBay"

I’ve been using a Mac since 1996.

gtfo noob

Who would want a leather strap

Can you get the beach ball to spin exactly once per minute? Make it functional while it's not working right.

ha or just bring back the hourglass.

I bet this guy doesn't even know what ClarisWorks was.

I’m a larger guy (6' and built like a linebacker who retired and got a little fat)

striking imagery

This is amazing and in my mind entirely justifies the hundreds of millions of dollars Apple has spent on this watch so afr

I don't wear jewelry. i wear spiky bracelets.

he is now whining about sam biddle being mean on twitter

did it ever occur to anyone that he plans to fashion these tweets into a new bracelet that he can wear as a studied reminder that he does not want to ever be a publicly whining baby on twitter again?

That's not very Punk Rock.

Actually it kinda is.

lmao how can u get to be the editor of one of the biggest tech sites and not know how to avoid repeatedly owning yrself super hard on twitter

those days where you should just say "well, you got me there" instead of continuing to get got

His name is an anagram for "Tiny Paella."

yeah its easy to forget their are other parallel parts of the internet where ppl dont have training in not getting owned by wisenheimers

Nilay Patel is an American technology journalist and former copyright lawyer. After serving as managing editor of Engadget, he left in 2011 and went on to become managing editor of The Verge.[1] In 2014 he left The Verge to join sister site Vox, but later returned to become the new editor-in-chief of The Verge, replacing Joshua Topolsky. [2]

copyright lawyer > corporate blog management is not the typical internet person trial by fire

yeah but c'mon he left Engadget in 2011, meaning he'd already been in tech blogs by then. four years ago!

idk man he was in a zone where noone wld think to make fun of his bracelet

I like that after 15 years of wearing the spiky bracelet, he doesn't have a better term for it other than spiky bracelet

he prob really bought it like two weeks ago

If Apple isn't putting together a spiky punk rock version of their phone right now then they are dropping the ball.

phone watch

I don't wear jewelry, man, just this spiky bracelet

dying

since they took on that oz bloke for design their products have been looking fucking awful. i6 is probably the worst looking phone in years. they used to be slick.

what are you even talking about

agreed its a pretty bad visual design, also too big, or they shdve at least continued to offer a smaller one

Enjoy gawker's slug URL vs what the headline actually says on the website.

who is going to take anyone seriously wearing an iwatch

I kind of assume he's trying to blame Marc Newson for shit that was already in production when he was hired as a part-timer

I only take spikey bracelets seriously

apple have totally lost their way. no one is looking at a £500 klunky komputer wristwatch as cool. they used to only do cool produtcts. Jobs would never have stood for this shit.

Auk, please post a picture of your wrists and any adorning bands, watches or jewelry or I will refuse to take you seriously

oh cool, so the iSpikyBracelet displays your various text messages on the individual conical frustums or

apples success is mostly predicated on on making products that work better than the competition whatever cool they have (a pretty dubious claim for a consumer electronics company) come from that

iphone 6 is pretty sloppy compared to its predecessors tho

idk I had a 3g, 4s, 5s, and 6 and imo the 6 is best
