If You Crave an Apple Watch, You Probably Voted for Obama

"There are several "major world religions" that are not getting kicked in the teeth by Apple.... "

Jihad Watch!

[familyop]

So far, it’s the homosexual, Obama, Jihad watch!

[jacquej]

Hmm, I must be an outlier.

Woman
Older than dirt
Very poor
only 1 year of college
didn’t vote for Obama
I am white, though
live in the upper midwest
married 45 years, now a widow
a follower of Christ, but do not attend any church
own an iPhone.

and very far right!

Do not exactly crave one, but will be saving up for when the watch is mature, and has apps that will make my daily life easier to manage.

What is with these silly surveys, anyway?

1 out of 10 sounds to me as more of a "may have voted for" if it was 6 out of 10, then maybe the author's incendiary title may have had some validity.

Great fun to see the spittle flying as keyboards are pounded in rage though.............

You’re educated (but not necessarily very smart)

You’re young & You’re well off (live rent free at mom’s house)

You probably voted for Obama (not very smart)

But you’re probably not Caucasian (voted for Obama)

You’ve never been married (you’re still living at moms!)

You’re probably a man (real men do not vote for commies for President)

Indeed.

At least it's not as bad as the story from a few days ago, where the room mates actually stabbed each other over which phone is "the best."

Really, who would pay attention to a normal column by Dan Tynan?

If you toss a bomb, people react.

[refermech]

I’d much prefer a Dick Tracy watch myself.

[DoughtyOne]

I’m not sure if these allow a face to face or not. They may.

The iPhone does, and these actually link up with the iPhone.

It would be cool if they did.

[DoughtyOne]

I don’t think they do allow a face to face, for what it’s worth.

Later...

Well, you said that I sounded to you like a leftist and a sissy and now you’re adding “3rd-grader”. YOUR characterizations (leftist, sissy, 3rd-grader) of me are typical of the irrational slurs that Apple-haters (such as yourself) sling at folks such as me MERELY because we like, buy and use Apple products.

I suspect that you’re actually filled with bitterness toward Apple product users...how else can we explain your personal attacks?

[Swordmaker]

Very strange "interactive" survey (read self-selected survey) results on who wants to buy an Apple Watch. . . from Reuters Ipsos claims more minorities and Obama voters want one. 42% say they want one for the "coolness factor" which makes me think the people answering are not really buyers but spoofing the survey instead. What do you think? — PING!

Apple Watch Wanna-Be Buyer Survey Ping!

If you want on or off the Mac Ping List, Freepmail me.

I think it's a “survey” designed to yield silly and non reality based results. When my family and I go into our local Apple Store, I don't observe what I would describe as obvious Obama voters and I certainly don't see folks who want to buy an Apple watch or a new Macbook to “look cool”.

But take it to the bank...the Apple Haters (the ones who appear on these threads to insult Apple product users) and the room temperature IQ crowd would certainly believe this is a legitimate survey.

42% say they want one for the "coolness factor" which makes me think the people answering are not really buyers but spoofing the survey instead.

From a previously posted article:

"A product review isn't necessary the right place to go into theories about technology or nit-pick on why turning on all notifications results in too many notifications being sent. People are going to buy Apple Watch if it looks cool. The review should try to help answer that question."

[Swordmaker]

This is BULLCRAP for so many reasons. The folks I know who are interested in an Apple Watch are overwhelmingly conservative.

This survey is so all-over-the-place on its responses, I can't see one answer corresponding to another. Wealthy, over $75K income, yet minorities with fewer than 4% caucasian. Most not iPhone users, but want the Apple Watch? Want it because of the "coolness factor" not because of utility? SAY WHAT? That is an Anti-Apple hate talking point claim. Only 3% from California (far west?) of respondents? Apple Mac use in Califrornia is over 3o%! Makes no sense.
