Apple Watch - Yay or Nay?

[Gandalf]

Last week I had the misfortune to watch CNBC which is arguably one of the worst channels ever created. Even the atrocious BBC seems saintly by comparison to this evil self centered channel obsessed with making the 1% cream themselves over the fact that they have the world on a platter and can feed on the carcass of a dying middle class. It is nasty stuff. It is also one of the many channels that has been giving excessive coverage to Apple's latest creation....a watch! Yes, a watch! You can wear it on your wrist and here is the twist, it has an interactive screen! Yep life changing stuff indeed. These people on CNBC were literally drooling over the prospects of this watch and I just wanted to throw up all over the floor. Hundreds of dollars for a watch? Okay it's cheaper than that Rolex stuff, but it's still a watch and a tracking device. Why do we need watches in an age of clocks? Why is the news nothing more than the promotion of central banking, products and war? I turned off the television and shouted defiantly "Take your stinking watch and piss off and leave me alone Apple. I think you are all that is wrong with the world and you treat your workers like shit and your shares need a hammering". I didn't really say that, but needless to say, I will not be buying their poxy watch.

It's good to see the ever awoken Russell Brand ripping Apple to shreds too. They do appear to be a rather despicable organisation.

[Master]

Russell is brilliant. I have never bought an apple item just for those very reasons.

A girl I work with pays £38 a month for her phone, 2 year contract she sees nothing wrong with this despite showing her 12 x £38 = £456 a year for a phone she doesnt use, 2 years = £912.
Apple has a strong market indeed.

[Master]

I am on a Sony X peria U £10 a month contract and the 2 years will be up April and I will go down to £5 a month.

I have an iPhone 5 and I don't pay a cent because it's a work phone

But for the watch? No. I never liked watches, never wore them growing up, and don't plan to start now.

What does the watch do? I guess it does everything a Fitbit or similar device does? But what else? You're not going to watch media on the fucking thing. On such a small surface already, and then all the real estate you'd lose fitting a rectangular picture into a round surface. What is the point of these things?

They should have some kind of standard even for stupid. Now they are reinventing things already invented. When does the new apple bulb come out? This is stupidity for the sake of stupidity. California has about i year left of fresh water supply and these dog stools are reintroducing a friggin watch.

[Spicoli]

Nay. Its clear they have run out of ideas.

[Master]

There is enough sheep that follow the product.

It is funny Samsung do the same stuff and sometimes better for cheaper. That must hurt apple.

[Beanflicker]

I noticed that Apple installed an "Apple Watch" app onto my phone with the latest update and it won't let you uninstall it. Cocksuckers.

It is good to see common sense prevailing. We are living in an age of great tyranny and corporate hegemony, but many are woken up and reject the horror show. With a little perseverance Apple shall indeed have to die and a good thing too as they are evil, parasitical, government snitches who won't even pay their taxes. Now I have nothing against not paying tax when it is a moral stand, but there is nothing moral about a vampire squid corporation like Apple.
