    I have a few friends who are obssessed with Apple related stuff and they rave about it all day long, but I just never bought into it. I've always used Windows (or Android with phones), I just find it easier to use and I've never seen a good argument as to why I should swap over, especially given the price differences.

    Also, if I went out and bought an iWatch in January 2015 for £350 (what it's rumoured to be going for), they'll blatently bring out another one the following year, with twice as much stuff and for double the price, rendering my watch 'out of date'.

    Is the Apple thing becoming too much of a fad? They're the masters of marketing, I'll give them that, but in all honesty, they're just starting to produce stuff that we really don't need. A watch is a watch, it doesn't need to send texts or check email. The fact that people find pulling a phone out their pocket is suddenly an inconvenience is appalling.

    The Apple Watch looks interesting and different to the Android versions but at $380, it's quite expensive. The iPhone 6 reveal was **** and it didn't bring anything new to the market.

    I use a MacBook Pro and absolutely love it. I wouldn't dream of going back to a PC now.

    What Apple are great is taking a existing product and repackaging them and making it sexy.

    MP3 players, smartphones, tablets, Smart watches all existed before Apple got involved.

    Apple aren't innovators anymore really. They brought a Phablet out, but Samsung did that 3 years ago.

    Samsung Galaxy s5/note 4 have far better specs then Apple's new products, but you just don't get the kudos as you do with Apple.

    Bought iPhones way back when, when they were far and away the best on the market, I'd rather have a Samsung galaxy now purely just due to some small things that piss me off about apple products, but seeing how much I've spent and got available in apples AppStore and all the other stores, it would just be wasteful to lose everything. Also like the way how my iPhones and ipad all link together like one big happy apple family.

    You wouldnt really would you? I appreciate you might not be a fan of the products but rather than take your own life, you could perhaps just not have them.

    In the unlikely scenario where it was the choice, suicide or an iwatch I would choose suicide.

    The best thing about things like the iglasses are that once in a while one of those duchbag silicon valley creeps gets off on the wrong bart stop and end up in oakland and get robbed.

    No offence but I don't think I'd even rescue my own mum from a place ruled by Saddam Hussein and Satan.

    Perpetual winter for you then.

    The irony of saving me is you could do it with the ihadesherokit and the upgraded iunderworldmap 2.0
