Can someone with experience in hiring and firing help me understand something? Microsoft has many open positions listed on their website[1]. Why would they lay off people they've already invested time and money into hiring and developing, instead of offering these employees the open positions within the company? Doesn't this seem counterproductive? Why are big tech companies so quick to fire employees?

Great work, I really like this. Maybe allow other ways to sync JSON file OneDrive, GoogleDrive etc.?

It is really surprising how Pebble hit almost all the right spots [ form factor, multi-day battery, screen readability, standard watch strap, hardware buttons, SDK ]. Sure there is room for improvement but we've now seen three big tech companies ( Sony, Samsung and Qualcomm) bringing in smartwatches and none of them got close to Pebble.
