Intel has previously said they're working on a smartwatch. Though Intel and Basis are saying that the band will continue to be sold, I can't help but wonder if this is going to be a key part of the technology for what Intel is trying to build -- and if so, if the band will eventually be discontinued.

Glass is going to quietly shift to being a device for niche groups - not the average consumers. Google has likely realized via the beta of Glass that it's not going to be accepted into the mainstream - but a watch (which is much more discreet, yet performs many of the same functions as Glass) will. If Google wants to really saturate the market, this is a super smart move.

I actually take my Fitbit Flex off when I'm writing (typing) for extending periods of time on my Macbook Air. The edge of the Macbook presses into the rubber at just the right angle and annoys me enough I have to remove it. I don't know how this isn't more of a problem for all wrist-wearables, honestly.

I was about to ask "what is the difference between OneNote and Evernote" since I haven't used OneNote since 2006 and am obsessed with Evernote, and you just nailed it. Thank you.

I thought they were good arguments...especially the first point. Fashion needs to make function or mainstream society won't ever buy into it. See: Glass.

Ha, why? Because it's actually well-written and valid?
