1. The price is for dev units, which are always expensive to create a barrier from the average person getting it. The component price for these things is probably more like $200. Could easily sell for $300 – $500.

2. Have you used Google Now? pretty awesome vocal recognition. Not perfect, so sure.

3. Yup. When don’t you have your phone on you though? Most people always do.

4. Yup, same as 3.

5. You can watch videos, AFAIK. Not sure how web browsing works – so sure, that’s a point.

6. Yup, new technology blues.

7. There’s a light that indicates recording/photo taking. People can be photographing you in public at any time anyway… so not exactly new ground.

8. Don’t need to, there’s a touch interface – which you already mentioned?

9. That’s a weird point.

10. Okay.jpg

You’re making a lot of presumptions for no reason about a first-gen technology very few people have. Let’s try it and see how it goes, and then dismiss it.

this isn’t anything like Daft Punk has made before

That was their intention. They keep saying they made it drastically different because electronic music is so stagnant.

Boston’s market has quickly started to become very similar. Craigslist is ripe with the bait & switch types of ads, even for home sales. I’ve actually made a deposit on an apartment which then later turned out to be something completely different – absolutely insane.

No, I understand that — the current watchface SDK requires a side-loading process, but Runkeeper’s process happens automagically when you start tracking activity — I was wondering if that was how apps will access the Pebble in the future, or if Pebble snuck the Runkeeper app in through a firmware update to be updated once the iOS/Android app supported it.

Wow, no. I won’t even look at this because you’re clearly just spamming.

Oh! interesting. I wonder if the app SDK allows any app to load into the Pebble like that, or if it’s something they’ve already had pre-baked through the latest firmware update.

The support is there on the Runkeeper side, but I’m not finding the app for installation on the Pebble side… anyone have information on that?

Try telling that to insurance companies. They’ll completely drop coverage without a diagnosis and defined treatment plan.

It’s still rather significant because insurance providers require DSM-defined diagnosis and treatment plans. Even if your method isn’t closely tied to the DSM (something like psychoanalysis vs CBT) unless you’re only seeing clients out of pocket, you’re still heavily reliant on the DSM.

How the hell is copying something a parody? If they made something called Bran Cat and it was bran-based instead of pop-tart based you’d be right – but they call Nyan Cat by name and use the exact likeness. It’s the very reason they couldn’t put Mickey Mouse in the game. WB should have to pay licensing.

Wooaaaaah, sure – driverless cars will take a bit of time to become the norm (at least 20 years?)… but a transit system for the entire US? How much crack are you on?

There are 4 million+ miles of paved roads in the country and we can’t even build a mass-transit system to quickly traverse one coast. Highways full of semi-autonomous cars are the best we’re going to do for a long, long, looooong time.

It’s a custom-designed, one-of-a-kind bespoke app I had built for my assistant and I to communicate and collaborate through.

I have two iPhones, one for day and one for the night. When the day phone runs out, the night phone takes over. I never have to worry.

I don’t use a ring of any kind on my phone. This is so that I am always on offense and never defense.
