They already have one.

So you wouldn't use a device that helps you avoid unhealthy behavior, just out of spite against the insurance companies?

I nominate: 3a) discreetly getting notifications during meetings. Did no one else catch the part about its buzzer being inaudible?

For a worldthinker, you seem to be ignorant of the existence of Australia and its residents' lingo.

That's a ludicrous conclusion. If they're to be reduced to something other than a technology company, then let them be an industrial design firm. While everyone else is concentrating on specs and feature bullet lists, Apple seems to this day to be the only company focusing on UI and usability. Their goal is to make things that people enjoy using - ignoring the specs and feature bullet lists - and sell bazillions of them.

There are already smartwatches on the market. Check out Samsung's product page: Powered by Google Android Wear! 1.63" Super AMOLED® display!. Now check out Apple's product page, which focuses on its design. Even the technology page describes how each feature should make you want to have one.

Non-geek people I know couldn't care less about a 1.63" Super AMOLED® display. They understand why they'd like to "glimpse the weather forecast, check out what’s next on your calendar, or find your current location on a map". You can probably do the same things with a Samsung, but know knows? They'd rather tell you about which OS is installed on the thing.

Their partner ship, the Event Horizon, came back. Changed.

Well played, Grey Father.

And to prevent even that, Touch ID doesn't work with a cut off finger.

Sign up for what? Xcode is a free download from the app store, and you can use it to install Homebrew and be a single command away from having gcc4[345789] installed. There's almost literally nothing they could do to make that easier other than shipping Xcode with OS X, but that would be a waste of storage for the 99.9% of users who wouldn't ever use it.

The new models can have up to 128GB of flash. That's about a day and a half of DVD-quality video. Throw in a cheap USB battery pack and you'll be set.

N00b.

According to the rumors (so you know it must be true!), Apple's watch is likely to have a built in step counter and pulse meter. That would instantly let it replace all the Fitbits, UP bands, Nike FuelBands, etc. that people are wearing with something attractive that has more functionality. I'd wear a watch if it did sufficiently interesting things that normal watches don't.

Python didn't originally have True and False probably for the same reason C didn't: they already had well-defined truthy and falsey values. Besides, you don't often need them. Instead of writing if expr is True:, you'd just write if expr:. To this day, the most common use I see for them is as default values for keyword arguments.

By making True and False variables with preset values, they could be added to the language without breaking code that already used those names for other things. By the time Python 3 rolled around, such code would probably have to be re-written for other reasons anyway and there was no longer a compelling backward compatibility story for not making them actual keywords.

In Python 3, they're keywords:

Python 3.4.1 (default, Aug 24 2014, 21:32:40)
[GCC 4.2.1 Compatible Apple LLVM 5.1 (clang-503.0.40)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> True = False
File "<stdin>", line 1
SyntaxError: can't assign to keyword

That must be it. I clearly have trouble tying my own shoes. Leonard is also barely above average, with an IQ of only 173 and a Princeton PhD at 24. If you know a lot of Leonard characters but consider them below par, I suspect you may have a bit of Sheldon in you.
