Be Excellent To Each Other

I'm just gonna pop by Grim...'s office for no reason.

You can if you want. I'll make sure someone knows who you are.

"The one with a troop of dwarfs and a wizard in tow"

Coffee all over keyboard!! Damn you!!

Does that mean that Gaywood is Snow White?

There's no fucking wizard in Snow White!

Or any other kind of wizard, come to think of it.

"If short guy with a beard comes in shouting that his name is Richard, he is the guy who has been sending me death threats. Play along, but call the police immediately"

Have you got yours yet?

It left Memphis at 4:26am apparently. Although I have no idea what timezone they are reporting that in, could be local, could be China as that is where it started out.

I thought you were getting one from John Lewis?

I was, until Motorola told me they had lied to me, and they didn't actually cancel my order, and shipped it anyway.
I cancelled the John Lewis one after that.

John Lewis seem to be claiming that their 2 year electricals warranty doesn't apply to the Moto360. That could make for some interesting conversations in the future, I imagine.

I wouldn't actually come between someone and the unboxing of their new gadget.

Microsoft Band :

http://www.microsoft.com/microsoft-band/en-us

That looks quite nice, built in GPS too and all for $200.

That does actually look quite nice, GPS will kill the battery though

Does it only work with Windows Phone, or is it compatible with Other Brands?

Works with all three apparently.

Works with everything, the only thing you need a windows phone for is the voice commands I think.

I will stick with my 910xt

Microsoft Band confirmed to be USA only, for now.

In other news, my 360 is in the country!

We're playing PS4 now.

Did someone tell you that you were funny in the past or something? If so, they were joking.

Don't think so. If I say enough words some of them are bound to be funny eventually. FACT.

You'd think so, wouldn't you? But you just keep on beatin' those odds.

The MS one is the first that's really tempted me.

Hey, does GazChap's Technohat count as wearable tech?

...not really, I'd argue. I mean it's wearable in the strictest definition of the word but as a jargon term for a class of tech "wearable" also implies "mobile."

Can't believe I missed this. Superb work, Doc!

Ooh!

Charge, rubbish tech, charge!

(In before comments of "that's where it will spend 90% of it's life")

Has it charged yet?

Also, does the battery last as long as your train journey to work?

Possibly. One benefit to tiny batteries is fast charge times!

Mine is charging!

Yes!


I don't know!

Now it's doing a firmware update, which is an odd thing to see happening on your wrist.

Grim... later

Seems to be working fine, no dodgy pixels or anything I've installed Wear Mini Launcher, which is the only addon necessary at the moment. Might play around with some custom faces later.

I always knew you'd have to go down the plastic surgery route.

Good lord, you even quoted it on this page!

Only to Craster's reply. I missed it first time.

How responsive to a wrist flick when typing is yours Grim...? Mine is basically unresponsive, it only turns on automatically if you raise your arm and twist, which is a bit shit. Not sure if that is just the way it is, or mine is faulty.

It seems okay. I've not been annoyed by it yet, at any rate.

Hmmm.... Not sure if it's just me or a dodgy accelerometer then. I don't know how it should be acting though. Should turning your wrist when typing turn on the watch face? I would have expected so.
I might send it back and see what the replacement is like, but that runs the risk of dead pixels again...

Are you at the quiz on Wednesday? We could compare them.

Depends on how the root canal goes tomorrow!
