Now that techies is released it doesn't seem to be a big problem, a lot of people said it will be the end of pub games and similiar nonsense. While it is true that i have lost almost every game with techies on my team and won almost every game against techies, it isn't such a big factor as the hero gets picked maybe once in 5 games and it is still quite early after the release, i expect that the hero gets picked a lot less and if someone picks him he will be good at it kinda like earthspirit or meepo.
People like to win, techies aren't winning, people don't pick techies.

Twitter would be nice if you could block hashtags and stuff. If someone's tweeting about an apple product I could not care less.

The best one I have seen was someone saying "Why are you listing WIFI as a Feature Apple?" as if reading that text did damage to their brain. Like somehow Apple wasn't going to list the basic features of the phone.

And the thing is $299 on contract. Clearly the telacoms got tired of subsidizing our Iphone habits.

no, the carriers were adamantly against that change apparently
but apple being apple has the power to muscle their complaints out of the way.

only thing I'm really excited about for the new iphone is the new camera. I hope pulling an htc is going to work out for them, especially if the concept is executed correctly. more megapixels on a fhd screen isn't going to do shit idk why phone companies insist on it.


LMAO this apple watch looks atrocious

An improved camera is the only thing that would make me upgrade from my 4S. But it appears the 5C is now free at 16 gigs, so I might have to go down that dark path, since both camera in that thing are much better.

this thing is just as bulbous and has an awful formfactor
square and flat would be alright, square and thick would look retarded on a person's wrist

the ui is a lot niftier, but still isn't enough to make me consider it over the 360, assuming I'd ever buy a smartwatchthinger

smartwatches are still too half baked to consider buying (even if apple made it)

I need to see the thing in the wild before I make decisions. I wouldn't mind a world where I could keep my phone in my pocket or bag and look at email, texts, weather and other shit. Plus well designed watches look dope.

the problem is, most watches just sit on your wrist until you look at it for a total of 10 seconds per day just to tell the time.
and unless you're going to be speaking into your wrist like a bad 70s scifi movie, a smartwatch isn't going to do a whole lot else for you either.

so the most important thing about a watch is for it to look nice on your wrist; everything else is auxillary to that purpose.
unfortunately none of the new wearables look nice on a wrist. they may look decent on paper, but if that was everything that mattered then 3dpd should actually be a thing.

Have you used Google now? Its pretty great if you get it set up right. I could use a world where my watch told me that traffic was bad on a specific road and told me to go a different route.

i have a nexus 5 so yes

but would you really look at your watch over looking at your phone at the beginning of your commute? would you pay 300-400 and forgo a nice traditional watch (doesn't even need to be a junghans or a patek or whatever) for a far-worse looking one?
not to mention you're going to have to either interact with it through voice or fiddling with it at your wrist, which conjures some pretty clowny images in my mind.

anyhow i can't imagine the iwatch being more of a success than appletv

It doesn't matter, the Iwatch all uses Siri, so its going to be like a retarded puppy on PCP.

why not? you can wear the iwatch and show it off so it could become a trend

They're definitely hoping that this will be a success
