They actually had 4.24.15 printed in large type on the homepage until this week, when they just simply removed the date.

Hmm, a dorky guy (who murdered the Star Trek canon) wearing glasses at a Star Wars convention is "cool?" I don't care if Watch is nerdy or cool, so long as Apple sells a metric assload of them.

Yeah and Wallace Shawn is cooler than Mandy Patinkin too. (Although Patinkin got all the cool lines) I'll cut J.J. some slack on Star Trek reboot because at least Spock finally got a girl....But nobody reboots Picard.

Wallace Shawn was cool until Rick Berman turned the Grand Nagus into a liberal Democrat. Talk about canon-murder!

Spock getting a girl is just wrong. I know you're more a TNG guy, Red, but seriously! No amount of lens flare can distract from its fundamental disalignment from Spock's character arc.
Was it totally Berman's decision? Shawn is a "progressive," and has political concerns of his own. I'm sure he only accepted the role to send up pure capitalism. (I love the plays of his I've seen/read, but you can see his concerns there as well.)
Anyone interested in the price action? The watch isn't moving the needle (yet) so what do the technicals say (pace Mercel and the anti-technical crowd)? Phoebes? Are we seeing a spring getting coiled and ready to pop? I would think declining volume recently argues otherwise.

...I don't get it ... has anyone EVER sold a million $350+ accessories in one weekend? Ever? What is the message? We haven't been a US president before but voted in many. Oh, I think I get the message

OMG...J.J. Abrams....Star Trek Director (forget the upcoming Star Wars junk) wearing an Apple Watch and looking so cool. Well, if J.J. can wear that watch, I will have to buy two...(see how the marketing works!) www.macrumors.com/2015/04/16/jj-abrams-apple-watch-star-wars/Read this text excerpt and tell me its not a big friggin' deal..... So I guess the question "Who the hell is going to buy a >$10K watch that may not be upgradeable?" is now being answered: "Along with Abrams, several other celebrities have been seen wearing the Apple Watch. Pharrell Williams wore it on reality TV show The Voice, and both Katy Perry and Drake shared Instagram photos of themselves wearing gold Apple Watch Edition models. Yesterday, a photo surfaced of designer Karl Lagerfeld with a custom gold Apple Watch with matching gold Link Bracelet." This is a new product category (what everyone seems to have been asking for in the past several years) in more ways than one. This aspect is a bit jarring for some of us old-time Apple fans, who are used to seeing premium prices (for the industry), but not OMG crazy celebrity prices. It is also just the kind of bold move pundits have been begging for but some are now criticizing.

I haven't worn a watch in over 20 years. Now I'm tempted to go back to wearing a watch. That says a lot!

If Kim Kardashian is seen wearing one - I'm OUT ! I will sell all of mine! Don't do that Phoebear. I'm begging you. It's inevitable that she who won't be named will be one of the first in line. Seriously, you could crash the whole thing with your inventory.
