I highly doubt this convention will work. You need to be able to return errors or DB information in the response code and headers, which would be impossible since Node is nonblocking. Even something as basic as storing session information in Redis suddenly becomes impossible. This seems like it gives a very minor benefit and causes a whole lot of problems.
The overuse of thin fonts might look dated in the future, but I don't agree that this trend is totally inspired by retina screens. If anything, I think Serif fonts have seen the greatest resurgence on web due to Retina screens. High DPI screens will impact our perception of all fonts, just as sans serif grew in popularity on lower dpi screens causing their perception to be more modern and technological.
In general typography as a whole has become much more interesting on retina screens. So yes, fonts look better now than ever before so don't cheat by using superthin because its trendy.
It doesn't appear to be hand-specific. Most fitness trackers suggest you should wear on your non-dominant hands, because they give a more accurate step count.
I actually appreciate the fact that its not marketing as an entire smart phone on my wrist. I don't want to browse my photo albums on it or wait 2 seconds for my watch screen to wake up before checking the time. I'm glad its just fitness sensors and simple clock/calender/email/notifications.
There could be business goals though: it improves people's public opinion of you and in this case may help protect them from lawsuits.

I appreciate C, but wish I learned more high level languages to be more prepared come graduation. C is important to know, but it can also be overemphasized in some colleges.
Turns out professionals don't want to be held accountable for the quality of their work. Too bad for them public rating systems are inevitable.
I hadn't thought about incorporating into bootstrap, but I'll definitely keep it in mind.
