UUuuuuuh I wouldn't pay a dime for that shit, there is nothing that will compare to a real, nice watch. I don't care if it can talk to me or make me sandwiches. Okay, when they start making me sandwiches, I'll reconsider.

That said, I very simply believe that very few people genuinely love and would give "anything" for that iWatch, the iPad or the iPad mini. The moment Apple announces it though, it's no longer about the product, it's about the hype and the fact that everyone around you has one, because they're afraid to be seen without it by everyone else who they think has one as well.

I spent $350 on a pair of Beats by dre. I hate myself to this day. The new, gorgeous Bang & Olufsen headphones came out and they're only $50 more-- for the kind of sound quality that will turn your libido to honey. Can't resell my barely used beats for more than $200 though, because they release a new version of it every goddamn year. This is all bullshit.
