I am a bit tired of Dawkins and I never did get around to reading him...
I typically read an author first, and then see if I get tired of him/her.
Perhaps I've been doing it wrong.
Try "Selfish Gene", write back and let me know what you think.
...a behavior is "right" if it's beneficial to the species' survival and prosperity, and "wrong" if harmful to the species...
Great insight, very close. There is no need to cut along species lines.
A behavior is "right" if it helps carry the greatest amount of your genes (or the genes most similar to yours) into the next generation.
Like giving up your life for your kids, but maybe not for your grandparents.
Not risking your life to try to save a mouse.
Feeling free to eat vegetables but maybe not other mammals.
It's funny how people who want to "save the baby seals" are perfectly fine taking antibiotics and anti-virals.
They are both just as 'alive'.
We have more empathy for people and animals who's DNA is more similar to our own.
(Disclaimer: I gleaned all these insights from reading Dawkins. I wasn't smart enough to come up with them on my own.)
I guess the Netropolitan folks didn't actually know any rich people, so the image of rich folks on their site is a stock photo called:

In all fairness - although Netropolitan runs on Wordpress, users do have their choice of a vanilla, chocolate, or strawberry color theme.
According to their website:
"The entire service is inaccessible from the public Internet, including search engines. "
You have to call their number on your 14.4k dial-up modem.

Skydiving may be a niche sport, but it's also at times a sport that relies on many gadgets.
As a skydiver, I could see uses for the following:
A barometric altimeter...
This could be hilarious:
"I wonder if it's time to pop the chute yet?"
[Checks watch]
"Damn beachball! Come on! Maybe I need to rebo..."
[Splat!]
So I can tell the time, which I currently use my phone for. Oh, I still need a phone?
That seems to be the main issue here.
It's not really a stand-alone 'Smart Watch' (in the way that a phone is a 'Smart Phone')
It's more like a "peripheral for your smart phone"
I just love the 4k TV trend.
Those rich people parting with their money now will finance a cheap very good quality set of computer monitors for me in just a few years.
They are coming out with 5K TVs now.
That's good, 'cause all those people with 4K TVs are probably tired of watching movies and TV in stupid 4K.
Debt is Wealth...
So, I guess what you're looking for is the app that could shield you from the death rays that the black helicopters are beaming at you, and pop up a pre-folded tin-foil hat.
Got it.
do you have any idea how small the display on google glass actually is?
Yes. It's like a 25" inch high definition screen seen from eight feet away.

I'm just glad that Balmer didn't write:

Or perhaps for nude or sensitive pictures or video, use a stand-alone camera; not a camera phone or networked device.
I'm pretty sure most of these movie stars could afford a cheap point-n-shoot or DSLR.
...I recommend using multiple safes/vaults/etc with different passwords...
It's just funny - because Pamela Anderson had her sex tape stolen from her safe. (back when there were 'tapes')
