That website popovered: I hate popups.
But you gotta do what you gotta do. Join 14,000+ others and get my semi-monthly email whenever I post new humor. Hilarity will ensue.
... and what I gotta do is write more adblockcontent block rules for your site.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

So they are showcasing Super Mario and Pokemon Go.
Seriously? This is what Apple calls keynote material?
This just seems...awkward.
Edit:
So that was...weird. The iPhone looks really nice. A nice evolution. It's the same phone, though. Water resistant, forget charging your phone while using headphones for handsfree, and an even bigger lump on the back. Better home button, faster and more battery life...but still the same phone. But nice.
Earpods - well, no, not really. I'd like to do a survey after 5 months and see how many people only have one of them left after losing one.
The watch? Again, it's the watch. Beautiful, but I'm not keen on square, thick lumps on my wrist. Still, I do think the Samsung Gear S is the best looking, Gru-style watch[^] ever, and I hate Samsung for hobbling it then killing it.
...and then an awkward music moment and a sudden "K, thanks, bye" and everyone just shuffles off.
No passion. No joy. No...direction? I just kind of feel a little lost and awkward after that. It's weird.
cheers

You mean, more than usual? 
Last year they had a watch ffs!
And if you're not a middle aged woman with to much money to buy a fitbit, you're not in the aiming group.

...except the Watch series 1 is now $269, which has just put it in reach of a lot more people.

And that's why I referred to middle aged women.
Had it still been $1000 I would've referred to a certain group of middle aged men.
I would never be seen in public with one of those. If I was serious about it I'd buy a Garmin or a Polar watch and if I wanted it to be stylish I might take a look at a Withings or possibly a Mondaine.
But ALL I want from a watch is for it to tell me the time without breaking or having to charge it all the time. So at the moment I have a Tissot (since many years), but it could've been a watch from any of a dozen brands.

I would have agreed with you, a while back, but feeding music to my headphones via bluetooth from my watch is just so damned Cool!

I have a phone for that. Maybe not as cool, but works just as fine.

Wait! You feel your watch should only tell time but you're OK with your phone streaming music? What kind of Luddite are you?

Me, I was shocked when I discovered that phones can still be used for making phone calls.
I mean, who uses that antiquated technology, any more?

The kind that needs reading glasses.
I can see the time on the watch, and I can see what music I'm playing on the phone because of the larger screen.
But using the phone for selecting music just wouldn't work for me.
(pause/play, forward and back I have on my headset cord ... Oh, I see)

"up till now nobody has taking on the challenge to deliver audio wireless"

No one can do a reality distortion field like Steve. It just rings hollow now. We didn't actually believe it back then, but it was fun to let ourselves be carried away for the hour and believe it.
Tim Cook is running a no-nonsense, grown up business and unfortunately for him that's how we all listen to him.

It's like when they had the *Great* *Innovative* *Idea* of putting cameras front and back -- like everyone else was already doing.

I heard Apple introduces the new AirPods. This year, I got 5 earphones and I keep misplacing them. Looking forward to misplace 10 individual pieces.

I'm actually very close to becoming an apple fanboy. Recently ported some android apps to iOS and they seem to run better on apple devices.

I have been disappointed with the Microsoft world of late.
I too feel Apple will continue to lead markets in future not in terms of volume but in terms of quality.

If the big news is Super Mario and Pokemon Go then I can skip buying the latest tech from Apple.
I still use my earbuds from the first iPod I got from 5-6 years ago. Good enough for audio books and podcasts.

Better have a doctor look at that.
It was broke, so I fixed it.
