Digital Dog Collar

Tim Cook, the Apple C.E.O., seems like a decent and likable guy — no tech overlord in a Darth Vader suit.
But his presentation of the new watch on Monday creeped me out, and offered a road map to a world I’m not sure I want to join. “The Apple Watch is the most personal device we have ever created,” he said. “It’s not just with you, it’s on you.” Ewwww. It sounds like a digital dog collar, complete with an anti-flea component. From here on out, there is no down time, and no excuses for reality escapes. You are connected, 24/7. - NYTimes.com

Your Say

The Chinks are already selling knock-offs for forty bucks and Microsoft has one that's um, better than Apple's if you can use that word to describe digital tracking devices.

My uncle Louie, we all called him "Letsgo" Lozko didn't wear a watch. "Vat for you need Vatch? Sun's up morning, goes down at night. Eat food ven hungry, Dat's it".
