There isn't one now, either.

Most of the things I glance at my phone for (calendar, maps, shopping lists, etc.) are things that require a larger display size than a watch has. There are a few that would work, but I can't think of enough of them that would justify the hassle and expense of the watch.

You can still get phones that aren't very large. Personally, I much prefer the larger-sized phones.

I would. Apple's cache as a status brand is falling fast as near as I can tell (judging by the increasing number of people I encounter who seem embarrassed by their use of an iPhone.)

Meh. I still have exactly zero interest in HD. It's just not compelling enough to affect my purchasing decisions at all, except insofar as I really try hard to avoid anything that is tied to HDCP/HDMI.

I think the watch form factor fails at this. It's still effectively "carrying" yet another device, and it's not that much more convenient than a phone.

My work-provided health insurance currently does this, reducing premiums for people who use such devices and provide the collected data to them. Nonetheless, that's not nearly enough incentive for me to go along with it.

I don't wear a watch and don't want to. When I try to think of some application that would overcome my aversion to watch-wearing, I can't really think of any at all: everything I'd want to do with it would be equally (or more) convenient by using my phone directly.

That said, here's what a watch would have to be for me to even begin to consider it: small and lightweight, look "normal" (not like a smartwatch), and the ability to effectively interact with me without me having to raise my arm or look at it. It should rely on my phone/tablet/laptop for communications and storage (no direct connection to the internet at all).

People actually use the Windows Store? Wow.

It's evil because it's incredibly dangerous -- even worse than tailgating.. Motorcycles are hard to see to begin with. Having them dart out from nowhere and eliminate the buffer space around my car is a recipe for disaster. I don't want to be the driver who accidentally injures or kills a motorcyclist because he got too close to me.

Legal or not, lane-splitting is just downright evil.

That's the case where we live as well.

I tried, but I can't actually force her.

I agree with you, at least for the near to mid future. I know that I personally have no desire for a self-driving car. It would be gee-whiz cool for a while, sure, but I'd very quickly want to drive my own car again. There are just too many situations where I want the car to be in a very specific place, and it would just be easier to put it there myself rather than try to explain it to a machine. I suspect a large majority of people feel the same.

But in a couple of decades that could very well change.

We are well on our way there already in some places, no driverless car needed. My daughter is 20-something, and she as well as about 25% of her friends don't know how to drive and have no interest in learning. The percentage of people who have no interest in driving is even higher in the 16-20 year old bracket.

Sortof. But even if this were 100% true, it still doesn't solve the problem that systemd is present.
