Maybe you are entirely uninformed but the Sony product referenced above _did_ display notifications from a smart phone.

I bought one for $20 on one of the one day deal sites. While it had some bugs it did work. However after using it for a week, I forgot about it on it's charger for a month and then decided the whole thing was dumb.

I came to the conclusion that I don't really need notifications on my wist, I don't like a watch that has to be charged frequently, and I don't like non-waterproof watches.
Further, these days I see a watch as a man's jewelry. I wear a Seiko automatic most days. It's a little old fashioned and "Accurate enough". Maybe someday I'll get the Ball Engineer or vintage Omega Speedmaster Moon I'd like to have.

If you had any familiarity with current ebooks, you would know already that the vast majority of what you called for is implemented. The only thing missing is your waste of perfectly good space idea for "Pages". There is no need for pages when you have hyperlinks and a back button. But you would know that if you had used a kindle.

We've been in two wars for most of the last ten years. If we didn't need them then it's not too likely we will need them anytime soon.

But this one runs Windows!

If this had been posted YESTERDAY some of us might have gotten up early to see those Aurorae

I'm pretty sure the space shuttle was built by Rockwell.

I had a windows mobile 6.5 phone, a Samsung intrepid. Ungodly piece of shit it was. Yeah, it worked pretty cool when I got it but the lack of updates, fixes, new bugs introduced in the one update it ever got, and utter lack of ease of use made it a huge loser for me. Using that thing was like trying to use a laptop for a phone. No ease of use, no polish, no intuitiveness anywhere.
My Evo 3d is about a thousand times better, if not more.
  I will never, never, never, but a windows phone again.

One gun per person isn't a huge hoard of weapons. This was in Texas. And if the government was trying to arrest David Koresh they would have arrested him while he was jogging that morning. This was a huge government cockup and you are repeating falsehoods that protect the guilty.

Some cable set top boxes use as much energy as your refrigerator. I would dearly love for google to fix this issue.

What has zero gravity research brought us? What have we learned that made a real impact on our lives? I just haven't seen any actual dividends from this research that has been going on quite awhile in the shuttle and ISS. I would really like to be enlightened if I'm way off base.
I really can't think of a thing.

I just see a lot of equipment that will break, become obsolete, and have to be maintained more than the previous projector that lasted 40 years.
It sounds cool, but try to replace a video board when one burns out twenty years from now. I'd rather have the Zeiss.

What about the Incredible Hulk Coaster at Universal Orlando? OR the other themed rides there?
This is making for soem very strange bedfellows!

You are thinking about air raid balloons.

The blimps referred to were large, untethered, powered and manned. They were the direct progenitors of the Goodyear blimp and were in fact made by Goodyear.

My drill press makes for a very effective drive killer.

Use what you got!

You can get a subscription to TV Guide for eleven dollars ans a quarter?
