For the same reason nobody wants to use Linux or OSX. Software.

Where'd that come from?

You mean you've used it like once or you've actually spent time with it? I'm just asking because you're unaware of the device being hands/eyes-free and oblivious to people using suction mounts.

... moving goal posts? Do you really really think I was trying to claim that people listen to GPS directions like they'd listen to a radio in the car? I wouldn't mind, but even after the first correction you even tried to go down the path of saying: "See, that's a distraction!" In all seriousness you'd have to ignore several posts I've made about how GPS's work and how people use them to actually believe that. Moving goal posts, indeed.

Oh, and speaking of trying to look smarter after a mistake, you've driven us away a few blocks from the topic. Ready to head back, yet? I still haven't heard the details about how you've removed a radio from your car or how you insist that passengers in your car keep their mouths shut, because, you know, you're so worried about distracted driving on the same level as the accidents GPSs cause.

Heh, yeah. Remember when all the fanbois lined up in Cuptertino so they could own a phone that automatically negotiates for their optimal data connection?

Who said that? I'm not sure you can even do that on an Apple watch. You certainly can't on a Pebble Watch.

Here's an actual scenario:

There's plenty of reasons to not like smart watches, you don't need to make shit up.

All I know is that I enjoy going home the same time every day and that I don't have to deal with panicky situations that arise from not getting the memo.

I apologize, I thought I was talking to somebody who has used a GPS before. Would you like me to go in-depth describing what that's like so you can understand enough about this topic to have an informed discussion about it?

These watches do not connect you 24 hours a day, they merely reflect what your phone is doing. These devices don't create the problem you describe, instead they reduce impact of it.

Yeah yeah, I wish everybody'd do things my way, too. So where is that line in relation to debating that with people on Slashdot?

Later in life, some time after you leave your parents' basement, you'll find that free-time comes at a premium. Everybody deals with it in different ways. That's why we have a broad range of computing products from desktop computers to laptops to smartphones to tablets to the gaming card you have in your computer, even Arduino.

'Laziness' is a poor way to describe any given technology and indicates that you do not understand the purpose of it.

At least a million people.

So... all you want is a desktop computer and everybody else in the world should, too. You know what's funny is I remember this reaction to tablets, smartphones, and cameras with cell phones. Nerd hipsterism is strange.

Try a Pebble Watch some time. It'll give you some clarity.

I said they know where they're going because they're being told along the way. Yes, I phrased it poorly. No, it doesn't matter for this conversation.

science!

you can't explain it

I thought cosmic rays trigger lightning.
