Ex-Apple Engineer??
I watched it without sound (my work computer doesn’t have a speaker). I still LMAO!
If you want on or off the Mac Ping List, Freepmail me.
Feel free to congratulate me. I am a proud owner of a new IPhone 6. I got it in Fairfield today. I am happy with it.
Try never was Apple engineer. There's no way that what the guy was saying is what the closed caption translation says he was saying. . . Sometimes he's laughing uproariously and the closed captioning added several sentences of dialogue. Nope. He's talking about something else. This is someone's FUD humor.
Sorry to burst your bubble.
Hey, great. Congrats, enjoy!
At least it’s not a Hitler parody, like seems to be popular ... :-) ...
... LOL ... it’s the same thing as the Hitler parodies on YouTube ... I’m sure you’ve seen them ... :-) ...
I am already enjoying it.

Excellent decision! Glad to welcome you to the party!

I have drunk deeply of the Apple kool-aid, and I own many Apple products.
I predict right here that the Apple watch will flop and Tim Cook will resign.
I know you predict a flop for the Apple watch, but this seems all too familiar to the pre-phone so called smart phone market.
I was an early smart phone adopter - I owned ‘em all. I too, wondered why the iPhone would be different, after all, it was far inferior to the phone i owned at the time, the Sony Ericsson P800. I mean, the P800 had a detachable hard keypad, touch screen, better battery life, and on and on....but what it didn’t have was good software, and an eco-system.
I predict Apple will sell more smart watches than all the competitors put together.
If, for example only 2 or 3 out of 100 iPhone (worldwide) buys the thing on a lark then they will sell MILLIONS, which is of course more than anyone else has managed.
Also, iPhone is “where the money” is at. The average in phone purchases are iPhone vs Android or Windows Phone is a multiple of 3-5x.
And if apple gets a few more iterations (maybe 3) they can dominate the market they create.
I think apple suffers from high expectations. everybody thinks they have it completely evolved before they introduce it. :)
Congradts. I’m getting ready to get a phone also. Who has the best pay system will be the determining factor. Apple pay or Samsung.

I showed my cousin a part of the Apple Event where one of the engineers showed how the Apple Watch worked with various daily activities. She was AMAZED at what she saw and was wowed by the technology.
It was like what I told her earlier ... “The Apple Watch is not a watch!” ... LOL ...
FLOP?! No ... it will be a success. All you have to do is wait and see, just like you have with the iPod, iTunes, iPhone, iPad, etc.
from OS News in 1998
That still left the issue of the floppy. Apple's explanation is that the floppy is a dying breed. It's slow and doesn't hold a lot of information. If you have a spreadsheet that you have to work on at home, just email it to yourself. [...] Well, that doesn't make a lot of sense to me. [...] So why would Apple intentionally leave out the floppy? [...] My guess is that by doing so, Apple creates a vacuum. And by doing so, have inherently created demand for third party storage products.
Don't be so touchy, it was funny!
Besides, the product is bizarre by a lot of measures. It somewhat overlaps almost every other computer Apple makes, it's overpriced even for Apple, and it has a Butterfly keyboard that seems to remind me of something... can't quite put my finger on what, maybe it's in one of Hillary's emails...
Yes, it was funny, but false. It's being presented as serious. Not as humor. I'm just getting tired of FUD.

Swordmaker, FUD is the only thing left in the “arsenal” of the Apple-haters. They’re all used up.
My wife just bought the new Mac book and has had nothing but troubles. Has been on the help line for many hours...many days.... it’s now on the way back to the service center in a pre paid package.
She is NOT happy.
