| Subject | Apple live event today (showcase watch & macbook) in Cupertino |
| Message-ID | <mdk48r$gaq$3@news.albasani.net> |
It looks like it will be 1pm Eastern time today (10am California time). The streaming link appears to be this: http://www.apple.com/live/ The (minor) catch is: Apple’s live stream requires semi-recent Apple technology, i.e., “Live streaming video requires Safari 5.1.10 or later on OS X v10.6.8 or later; Safari on iOS 6.0 or later. Streaming via Apple TV requires second- or third-generation Apple TV with software 6.2 or later". Another catch is that the last streaming conference was flaky. They're expected to showcase the watch & potentially a new MacBook Air. I wonder if I should drive one town over to Cupertino to see if they'd let me in. :)

Since it isn't a medical device, the FDA would have no input on the
watch and it doesn't really know if can/wants to get involved with
health-related aps.

I'd expect a smart "watch" (strapped to your body) to have at least two things different than a smart phone (in your pocket or purse). 1. It should be able to *measure* plenty of biological signals, and, 2. It needs to be waterproof (so you don't have to take it off all the time). Also, it would need a decent input/output system; but I assume Apple has thought of that with the GUI they showed at the last live event.

I'd like to be able to take a quick glance to see what the time is, too. Yeah, I know, revolutionary concept -- a watch that tells time! bj

If it does that as well as the iPhone makes phone calls, you'll need a real watch on your other wrist. -- Barry Margolin, barmar@alum.mit.edu Arlington, MA *** PLEASE post questions in newsgroups, not directly to me ***

LOL. I was watching the Apple live feed on my iPhone 6 while it was plugged in and charging. During the showing of the Apple Watch they used "Hey Siri". Siri heard it on my iPhone and answered, interrupting the stream. Had to reconnect :-)

(people with an Amazon Echo have had similar experiences with Alexa (the Echo) responding to a show on TV when a similar name is mentioned. But she responds verbally. Jeopardy was particularly amusing for someone.)

I often wonder: How does it feel to be completely full of shit? It's gotta suck. I make phone calls on my iPhone without a single issue as I have for numerous years, through several different models. And I'll likely enjoy making calls with my future Apple Watch as well. -- E-mail sent to this address may be devoured by my ravenous SPAM filter. I often ignore posts from Google.

I don't have one at all (I don't have any smartphone, I have an el-cheapo Virgin Mobile PAYG mobile phone). I was just basing it on old jokes about iPhone call quality. I fully admit that they may be way out of date, and they've gotten better now. -- Barry Margolin, barmar@alum.mit.edu Arlington, MA *** PLEASE post questions in newsgroups, not directly to me ***
