That's a really simple one. Ask Siri to call you "**** Off" and she'll call you **** off

No, he doesn't!

My Siri answered at that- "Sorry, something is wrong. Can you try that again?"

If you say "Call me an Ambulance" it used to say "From now on I'll call you An Ambulance" Same trick was used to mess with people in Apple stores.

Apple have released more guided tours http://www.apple.com/watch/guided-tours/

Directions are going to be so good, I often find myself using my phone when out in a new city.

You're going to get laughed at if you strap your phone to your wrist.

So now you're saying Apple products are worth more than Apple charge for them, that's a fairly huge turnaround.

I wonder how many people will be tempted to use these devices whilst driving. "Some" people seem to be able to resist the urge to use their mobiles while driving but how tempting is this going to be? It's still the same distraction as reading your phone, possibly more as its such a small screen.

It's going to cause problems I'm sure. I have my phone mounted on the dash and like it or not I do look at it when a notification comes in, is the wrist much worse, with my eyes probably not, doing things other than glancing would be idiotic in my opinion.

Certainly interesting from a legal standpoint since using a mobile whilst driving is illegal, using a watch isn't as far as I'm aware.

Probably safer to push a button on your wrist than reach for the dash.

With this cost-effective mentality, does it ever make you think that you could have just used your close by sea for your bathing, and saved spending £££ on your shower or a bath?

That means taking both hands off the wheel!

Next time your in your car, touch your wrist whilst holding the steering wheel, if you can't do it go to the doctor. It only takes a press to activate Siri.

Yes.

Also, with your cost effective mentality, you need to stop using your mobile phone altogether. It must be a sheer waste of money for someone like you. Why take a nagging brick of any size or any make everywhere with you, when you know that you can always use your landline back home, if you have any patience? I bet people already larf at you as it is, when you're talking into your mobile on the streets.

Don't give me the excuse of emergencies either. Didn't people survive emergencies without the mobile phones in past? They did. Actually, didn't people survive without any phones, even the landline, in past? They did! You can always stick a .50p in your local phone booth, and call anyone you like, ad hoc. It shouldn't take you too long to get to your community phone booth, I believe?

Save your money, dpb! Not that you can take your savings up there with you one day, but just do it, anyway.

PS: Not sure of it takes a £1 minimum, to make a call from the street side phone booth, these days. Blame the government for it, and check it out by trying it yourself.

The unadulterated loyalty often invovles brand-centric fan groups, which scientists refer to as brand communities. These groups, which have formed around Apple, Harley-Davidson and even Hello Kitty, seem to rise up largely without the aid of sly marketing campaigns and instead by grassroots movements with their own rituals and traditions. Some even say the Apple community has the makings of a cult, with fanaticism that comes close to religious furor.

These groups can form out of necessity, the desire to be part of a community, and a shared sense that members understand something that, well, not everybody else gets.

In addition, Apple fans always have something new to keep their interest, an important component in fueling any fanaticism, researchers say. And, as is the case with fans of any brand, objects can become more than the sum of their parts — they can represent a lifestyle and more.

To be fair, whilst you can reach your Watch, trying to read the tiny notification about a foot and a half away means taking your eyes off the road for longer while you twist your grip on the wheel and/or swap hands to read the notifications. It's just another distraction in the car that could cause and accident.
