What do you all think of the apple watch? Personally i think it will gain more ground than it's android counter parts. I know that it's a piece of hardware but what do y'all think?

The problem with UDP jokes: I don’t get half of them.



I could tell you a joke about UDP, but you wouldn't get it!
:lol: ... Q: are there any good TCP jokes?
A: Yeah, they are all pretty reliable.  :fatty:

If I got one of these intel windows 8.1 sticks would it be a POS?  I want to use my TV as a second desktop.
You PC or mac?

I hadn't heard of these until now. I would assume that it works like the Chromecast and if it does, then don't do it. I don't think that type of wireless technology is up to par yet and you could have a bunch of performance issues. I have a Chromecast and it is near impossible to stream games from my laptop.

It's essentially the guts of a computer in something the size of a flash drive that uses what you plug it into as a monitor.  I don't think it will be streaming anything but would use wifi to connect to Internet i guess.  I currently use my chrome cast with an android tablet with Bluetooth mouse and keyboard right now but it's kind of weird. 

what are you wanting to use it for?  looking at the specs it's a POS, but I guess if all you want to do is bbs it would be ok.  if you want to run any type of windows 8 application I would just buy a long hdmi cable and just hook up your laptop to your tv.

that market is crap right now, so I have no doubt it will do better, unless the price is too high(it is). my questions is why buy it?  what does it do that my iPhone doesn't already do better, oh and you have to have an iPhone already to even use the thing. I mean it's a cool idea but for practicality sake, no thanks.

ww - i'm looking into it as well. it's competitively priced and i think it could be a great media center (if nothing else). Yes, its way more than a chromecast or even an apple tv, but those are a different market. I don't personally believe its stats are crap - no, you wont be able to play counterstrike or use solidworks on it, but it can still do great things with a quad core and 2g of ram, and 32g of storage..expandable up to 128 i think. it also has bluetooth in it, so again, good for media. I could probably get by doing my morning routine on it. It'll probably flop in consumer markets but i could see it doing amazingly in corporate markets. companies will eat this up for conference rooms or shared space/meeting rooms, etc.

Yeah i don't own an iphone. But some of the features could be useful. They could go alot of different ways.

i have a samsung gear 2 neo, and i love it. for one, I can't wear like 99% of other watches because i'm allergic to metal, so this works great. second, it tracks heart rate during running/biking/hiking. Its also nice while biking/on motorcycle to use. i have my phone in my pocket or in my backpack, and i can check my messages on it at stoplights/when i pull over, i can control music thats playing in my helmet or headphones, etc. its also fun to use at bars and turn off TV's when KU fans are watching big 12 tourney in aggieville  :fatty:

I'm sure apple's watch will still kill it (compared to other wearables now) as they have such a cult following. I think the wearables market has a ways to go, but again, my watch is great and i use it all the time.

most corporate setups have a VGA/HDMI/MiniDisplayport setup in their conference rooms for laptops/ipads/iphones and some even android.  this is an honest question but why buy a $150 stick that needs a keyboard and a mouse for a corporate office when everyone already has everything loaded on their ipads and stuff?  seems like a huge waste of money over $30 in adapters for much better devices.

i use it some, no real advice.  more just out of laziness because i can't be bothered to keep up with the design aspect of the web.  just a curiosity thing?
