Well Sh*t, the Xiaomi Mi Watch is an Apple Watch Clone

Kellen October 29, 2019

When we learned yesterday that Xiaomi was on the verge of showing off its first Wear OS watch, likely named Mi Watch, we hoped it wouldn't be an Apple Watch clone and that it would have its own identity that we could get behind. As it turns out, it's looking...

Apple Watch Series 4 Reviews are a Sad Reminder of How Lost Wear OS Is

Kellen September 20, 2018

Apple announced its Apple Watch Series 4 a week ago and the early reviews that dropped this week are about as glowing as is possible. I'm not shocked by that either, because it was pretty obvious as Apple revealed their new watch that it was the most...

Kellen June 8, 2015 150

Apple'S WWDC 2015 is happening this morning, in case you didn't already know. WWDC doesn't stand for "What Would (Jesus) Do (in) Charades" or "Willy Wonka Dots Candy" or "Where's Waldo, Dammit, Come'on!" It stands for "Worldwide Developer Conference." Forget...

Kellen May 12, 2015 138

We have an Apple Watch in house. Yes, yes we do. Why? Because you should know your competition. If we are going to have an opinion on the Apple Watch, we should actually spend some time with one in order to form that opinion, not just get there by reading...
