It doesn't have a cellular radio and neither do that tablets.

Tons of tablets have cellular radios. You have no idea what you're talking about.

but in the fine print the watch requires its own subscription and raises your rate by more than the watch is worth.

Citation?

The watch doesn't have a cellular radio, like some tablets do. It can't consume data directly.

Wozniak is still an Apple employee with a salary of $120k/year and he still has a bunch of stock. I doubt he has much if any involvement in Apple operations, but saying "he has nothing to do with the company" is not true.

You are correct that he calls them like he sees them, regardless of brand. I generally love Samsung and have owned a bunch of their phones, but the Gear has no interest for me for exactly the reasons Woz states.

Only if your goal is to make electric cars much more expensive. Each Honda Clarity FCX costs about $125,000 to manufacture. I haven't heard about any huge breakthroughs that would make this Toyota significantly less. The manufacturers are willing to take a huge loss on each one for a variety of regulatory and PR reasons. Increasing production from their currently tiny numbers isn't going to decrease the unit cost by that much since lots of exotic materials and components are required.

For recurring costs, hydrogen costs about the same per mile as gasoline. And unless you happen to live right next to one of a few dozen hydrogen refueling stations, you're going to waste a lot of fuel and time driving to and from one. My battery powered car costs a third as much per mile and I car recharge it in my garage.

And everyone's concept of value is different.

If enough people want to give EA their money, then they will keep doing what they're doing- and not give a rats ass about what every single person on this site thinks.

If enough people stop giving EA their money, for whatever reason, then their games and sales model will change immediately.
