fudgy73on Pebble's next step

There's probably some startupy term for this. If Fitbit and Pebble were both buildings next to each other, Fitbit just bought Pebble's to demolish it and build Fitbit Tower 2.

I don't know. I'd probably read some terms of service doc somewhere to understand better, but I guess I don't care enough to do so.

fudgy73on Pebble's next step

I don't usually get upset about this stuff, business is business, but with my outstanding time 2 and core orders, I am definitely feeling bamboozled.

I always thought of pebbles fighting fitbits, the watch for 'us' vs the trackers for everyone. The open platform vs the locked in, the device that got just what you wanted done vs the not-really-a-watch.

It seemed like with pebble health and their relationship with Stanford things were on the up and up. Now ending warranties and such a trying to be nice but not really announcement. I expect nothing from fitbit. This sucks.

fudgy73on Fitbit is reportedly buying Pebble for around $40M

Bad news. The main reason I wouldn't even consider a Fitbit was because the data is locked in the Fitbit 'ecosystem' and there is no Google Fit integration. Pebble was the opposite. An open platform for people to use and tinker with. You will be missed, Pebble.

fudgy73on Pebble 2, Time 2 + All-New Pebble Core

Thanks. Now to find the cheapest data only supported service. A company I worked at used to pay $4/mo per device to Sprint for something like this.

fudgy73on Pebble 2, Time 2 + All-New Pebble Core

Is it free 3G? I wonder what the (if any) catch is, and I don't see any place to pop in a sim card. Looks awesome.

Pebble is so underrated. I've tried out so many smartwatches and activity trackers and always come back to the Pebble Time. It just keeps getting better and better! Kudos!

Regarding real estate - what entity owns the portion of the sea where the data center is located? Is there security? Curious how this would work in terms of property law.

It seems like Microsoft really did their homework. The Surface Book has a 3:2 display, which was one of the biggest reasons many (me included) were interested in the latest Chromebook Pixel. Complete specs are visible here: https://www.microsoft.com/surface/en-us/devices/surface-book...

I think him writing this after what happened accentuates this, as he was writing "angry." That being said, his preconceived notions of Billy are almost as bad as Billy's of "nerds."

Being handcuffed is the worst thing I have ever felt. It is inhumane and should not be practiced in a civilized society. The fact that a 14 year old child with that look on his face felt it makes my blood boil.
