You are aware that big brother can monitor your physiological reactions together with phone calls and website surfing with this device?

[madfranks]

For a watch that thing's pretty huge. Proportionally all wrong. Why don't you save some money and just buy a wrist band and strap your phone to your arm?

Also, since this is a gold/silver forum, why don't you buy the apple watch, it comes in 18 karat gold:

My analysis of the smart-watch market is that they will go down as one of the biggest flops in the history of modern tech. The market for them is extremely small, like Buddha said, is it really that hard to pull your phone out of your pocket, you need to strap it to your wrist now? And they don't work unless you have the smart phone to pair it with. So you can't buy the samsung watch unless you have a samsung phone, and you can't use the apple watch unless you have an iphone. And unlike traditional mechanical watches, these ones will be obsolete in a year or two.

[woodman]

I just didn't understand where the sobriety was linked to buying the watch. A reward for staying sober? What happens on the 9th?

[Santa]

I'm waiting for the 3D corneal iPhone implant due out in 2019. It'll be really cool. You'll be able to take photos using your own eye as the lens and all functions will be controlled using standard icons just like on a touchscreen monitor, but in 3D...

AND it'll be wirelessly connected to all your senses so you can virtually touch, taste and smell the 3D YouTube videos that are being sent to you from all your friends on FaceBook and Twitter. Plus, with the addition of the 50 Yodabyte Psyionic inhalable nano chips, no more memory storage or hard drive issues to contend with.

Virtual Reality will soon be the New Reality for ever.

Too fat to move? Forget about it... with the New Cyber-Augmentation technologies coming online you can look like Paris Hilton or Arnold Shwarzinagger. No one will know the difference. Not even you.

Except for "terrorists" who don't comply or buy, they will be erased from central memory.

Why not get a new TV...........

I’m terrified of my new TV: Why I’m scared to turn this thing on — and you’d be, too https://d2pe20ur0h0p8p.cloudfront.net/trove/authors/images/BANNERS/5001266.png (http://www.salon.com) Michael Price, Salon (http://www.salon.com)

http://media.salon.com/2014/10/shutterstock_154257524-e1414615731613-620x412.jpg (Credit: cobalt88 (http://www.shutterstock.com/pic-154257524.html) via Shutterstock (http://www.shutterstock.com/))
I just bought a new TV. The old one had a good run, but after the volume got stuck on 63, I decided it was time to replace it. I am now the owner of a new “smart” TV, which promises to deliver streaming multimedia content, games, apps, social media, and Internet browsing. Oh, and TV too.
The only problem is that I’m now afraid to use it. You would be too — if you read through the 46-page privacy policy.
The amount of data this thing collects is staggering. It logs where, when, how, and for how long you use the TV. It sets tracking cookies and beacons designed to detect “when you have viewed particular content or a particular email message.” It records “the apps you use, the websites you visit, and how you interact with content.” It ignores “do-not-track” requests as a considered matter of policy.
It also has a built-in camera — with facial recognition. The purpose is to provide “gesture control” for the TV and enable you to log in to a personalized account using your face. On the upside, the images are saved on the TV instead of uploaded to a corporate server. On the downside, the Internet connection makes the whole TV vulnerable to hackers who have demonstrated the ability to take complete control of the machine.
More troubling is the microphone. The TV boasts a “voice recognition” feature that allows viewers to control the screen with voice commands. But the service comes with a rather ominous warning: “Please be aware that if your spoken words include personal or other sensitive information, that information will be among the data captured and transmitted to a third party.” Got that? Don’t say personal or sensitive stuff in front of the TV.
You may not be watching, but the telescreen is listening.
I do not doubt that this data is important to providing customized content and convenience, but it is also incredibly personal, constitutionally protected information that should not be for sale to advertisers and should require a warrant for law enforcement to access.
Unfortunately, current law affords little privacy protection to so-called “third party records,” including email, telephone records, and data stored in “the cloud.” Much of the data captured and transmitted by my new TV would likely fall into this category. Although one federal court of appeals has found this rule unconstitutional with respect to email, the principle remains a bedrock of modern electronic surveillance.
According to retired General David Petraeus, former head of the CIA, Internet-enabled “smart” devices can be exploited to reveal a wealth of personal data. “Items of interest will be located, identified, monitored, and remotely controlled through technologies such as radio-frequency identification, sensor networks, tiny embedded servers, and energy harvester,” he reportedly told a venture capital firm in 2012. “We’ll spy on you through your dishwasher” read one headline. Indeed, as the “Internet of Things” matures, household appliances and physical objects will become more networked. Your ceiling lights, thermostat, and washing machine — even your socks — may be wired to interact online. The FBI will not have to bug your living room; you will do it yourself.
Of course, there is always the “dumb” option. Users may have the ability to disable data collection, but it comes at a cost. The device will not function properly or allow the use of its high-tech features. This leaves consumers with an unacceptable choice between keeping up with technology and retaining their personal privacy.
We should not have to channel surf worried that the TV is recording our behavior for the benefit of advertisers and police. Companies need to become more mindful of consumer privacy when deciding whether to collect personal data. And law enforcement should most certainly be required to get a warrant before accessing it.
In the meantime, I’ll be in the market for a new tinfoil hat and cone of silence.

WoW! No wonder it's so expensive. That watch has the whole freakin Milfy Way stuffed inside it.

When it says feel connected , its strange but its the opposite for me.

This thing is more than a watch, its connected to the internet , towers ect, your whole body picks up the signal and acts like a receiving station.

I can see why people would like it but I would hate it , then again I dont have time tables to keep ect.

Good luck with it Bro. I've gone about 2 months without a beer (I'm trying to lose weight) but I had 4 bottles of Coors tonight in celebration of Halloween. I find the stress from working is a bitch and makes me want to indulge a little too much.

I cannot wear watches or rings. I don't like the feel of them on me.

120 oz? Dayum! That's 10 beers. You didn't have the flu. You had a hangover.

Beer isn't fattening. If you're overweight, it isn't the beer's fault.

Oh wait... did you say Coors Light? That explains a thing or two...

Never mind.

Sorry for the derail.

Light beer really isn't real beer, it's way too watered down.

I love blue dial dress watches.

[Glass]

I have many but wear none. I find no need. I have a very good sense of time. I'm absolutely never late. Its bad manners. Although being excessively not late can be bad manners also sometimes.

I can kind of see this. I couldn't talk into it. Without a head set it's a speakerphone. I see chinese and south americans like to talk at their phone instead of hold to their head.

All the other possibilities. As a media device for me. Some tracking concerns. I would have to wear it on the right hand. So I can do with out.

The glasses device I get. Makes a lot of sense to me. Personal HUD. I want it on the inside of my regular glasses. Because the google thing is only good for people who don't need glasses.

I prefer Coors Banquet. I don't care for Coors Light. Don't much care for any beer touted as light. The beer I like to drink is pretty fattening. If I drink 6 beers, that is 6 x 140 = 840 calories. Doing this 7 days a week as I preferred to do was packing on the weight. I consider myself an alchoholic even though I can stop and do stop drinking periodically. I never get mean when I drink (it makes me happy and mellow) and have never been told that it is a problem for others but I know that 6 beers nightly is not good for my health. If I cannot tone it down then quitting is the only other option. It does seem to me that I am able to change my behavior but it requires a reset which means not drinking beer for some time. I just love micro-brew with a lot of body, but I love them too much.

Try to avoid American beer (unless it's from Micro-brew.)

Where this come from? Seems there are regional ales from the same companies. Here they have Hurricane and Cobra, both identical beers but different labels, both made by Anheuser Bush. Not my preferred beverage but neither is a dry county. Nearest liquor store is about 40 miles 1 way.

[Buddha]

Steel Brewing Company in Irwindale, CA. Though it's a staple here in STL. It's good for a high gravity lager/malt liquor actually kinda smooth, relatively.

[Cebu_4_2]

Same with Hurricane, smooth... I read the smoothness comes from Etheline glycol.

Used to be a brewery up your way that made some fine beer. Ranier Beer. Yum. Anheiser bought them out and closed them down. Bastards. I used to look forward to driving out west. As soon as I hit Colorado or Montana, I'd start finding Ranier in the stores. They made some damn fine ale too. Over 7% which was unusual back in the day.

Yeah, pretty much derailed it. Back to the issue though, if you spend $10 dollars a day on alcohol and give it up, this gives you enough money each month to make a payment toward just a lot of cool shit. In order to give up something that is meaningful to you, like drinking, you have to give yourself a carrot. I think you are on the right track General.

[Spectrism]

To remain sobber, first you have to get sobber. Are you sobbing yet? Just think of the money you will waste; that might help.

Sobber... one who weeps with a convulsive catching of the breath.

[Tumbleweed]

Last I checked McAdams whiskey at Sam's club was $11 for 1.75 liters. If you save $10 per week gerneral in a little over six weeks you'd have enough to buy almost three gallons of whiskey. it would probably be a lot more healthy for you and you wouldn't have to sobber up. :-)

I buy it by the case, it's cheap and good.
