Strong turnout for world's first glimpse at Apple Watch

Consumers in Australia flocked to Apple Inc's (AAPL.O) store in Sydney on Friday to get the world's first up-close look at the tech giant's smartwatch, which the company expects will be its next runaway hit.

The Apple Watch, CEO Tim Cook's first new major product, was available for pre-order online and to try out in stores - but not take home.

On April 24, consumers will be able to buy it online or by reservation at retail locations including high-end fashion boutiques in Paris, London and Tokyo, part of Apple's strategy of positioning the wearable computer as a must-have accessory.

Nope. It has the article title text as its link address:

<a href="My First Week With the Apple Watch">My first week with the Apple Watch — Ben Bajarin — TechPinions</a>

Not to worry. It happens ...

By the way, your use of Alinsky rules 12 and 5 on me don’t work. Nice try. I know what you Anti-Apple hate brigade are up to with that, “Freeze and Ridicule.” Potent weapons, but only if the target allows it. I won’t.

Frankly, I don’t think the bunch of you are conservatives at all. You give conservatives a bad name with your invective and intolerance that WILL get quoted elsewhere. It’s not necessary to use such language. You can be opposed to the homosexual agenda without being rabid about. . . when you froth at the mouth, you get dismissed as a lunatic. I’m beginning to think some of you guys are DU Alinsky plants spreading discord among conservatives. You argue like know nothing Democrats where evidence and facts are irrelevant.

LMAO....so now I’m not even a consrvative at all....

Paranoid delusions.

Report me and let an admin decide...I’m more than willing to have my posts reviewed.

You have a serious case of self inflated ego pal.

I gave you the reason I dont and wont buy apple products and and the only reason I came into this thread was to mock your crazy eyes posting style while screaming Bigot at someone to try and get them to STFU.

Which Alinksy tactic is that again?

So, according to you, REAL conservatives support Tim Cook and THE gay agenda.

I think I am qualified to speak for the Apple users and buyers

Did you ever wonder how many prospective or former apple buyers were turned off by your fanboyism and declined to make further purchases of apple iProducts? Ever think how much money in lost revenues you have cost Tim Cook?

Oh, so you claim that you know my style? No, you don't have a clue. You were pinged to this thread to ridicule me. That's obvious. Don't claim otherwise. My style is generally quite conservative, asshat. I was shouting at him because nothing else seemed to be getting through his thick skull. Even that did not work because he is back again putting words in my mouth and acting like a prosecutorial jackass. He is an agenda driven idiot who will not learn or listen to facts and is so certain he knows everything he does not need to hear what is being said. He is also, like you, an ass.

BTW...I came here to discuss conservative politics and current events...a quick review of what you post shows you are only here to talk about/defend apple with a few religious posts tossed in for good measure...

Are you an apple employee or something?

Reading comprehension is NOT your forté. Please tell me where you found that anywhere in what I said. This is an Apple thread which you have invaded with your reprehensible anti-Apple agenda, equating anything Apple and implying Apple users with homosexuality. That is sick bigotry.

Typing in all caps, idiot, is considered shouting on-lime. That has been established for years. Are you that naive? Or are you still playing ridicule the poster?

No. I told you I maintain the Apple/iPhone/iPad/iOS ping list for over 700 of your fellow FreeRepublic members. It's an interest group on FR. Naturally I post more on those threads. All 700 have asked me to do it. . . and they out number you and the half-dozen anti-Apple disrupters who keep polluting the threads lately. And yes, it has both Jim Robinson's and John Robinson's blessings. . . as does the Microsoft Windows Ping Group run by DayGloRed.

"Typing in all caps, idiot, is considered shouting on-lime."

Lemon lime or regular lime?

And why do you shout on lime?

What did limes ever do to you?...did they rape an apple or something?

"That has been established for years.

It's also established that it is quite juvenile since no one can hear your text.

Are you that naive? Or are you still playing ridicule the poster?"

Who is playing?

Obviously you are. Go to bed, it’s past your bedtime, bonzo! I told you the freeze and ridicule routine doesn’t work. . . and the only one’s looking idiotic are you and your friend who can’t recognize an autocorrect typo when you read it. The only ones acting like juveniles here are you two. I’m going to get some sleep. Good night, Crim.
