CBC Had a Subscription Documentary Channel. Now It Wants Taxpayers to Fund a Free One
The CBC is shutting down its subscription-based Documentary Channel on August 31 and replacing it with a free ad-supported streaming channel launching this fall, backed by a $7 million funding increase for Canadian documentaries. The national broadcaster framed the move as a modernization push, pointing to declining cable subscribers and shifting viewing habits as the...
I’m not going to buy an Apple watch. They all look to femimine. even the larger screen ones, they look like a girls watch.
Not sure, all the gals I have talked to, including my wife, think they look ugly, well except the rose gold one, but who can afford that. So not sure what market they are going for
Whats a watch?
I hope for apples sake I’m in the minority, because the watch looks totally uninteresting to me. ???? moving a subset of mobile device functions from your palm to your wrist is just kinda… Eh.
I am sure Apple will sell tons of these. I am one of those who upgrade their iPhone ever second generation once all the bugs have been worked out. I’m used to the cycle to replace my phone. The problem as I see it is that I own a few nice watches…I can’t see myself falling into the same trend, replacing my watch every year or two. Now, if the watch was designed to merge with the phone and totally replace it I’d be all OVER that! Imagine just a tablet and a watch instead of what they are offering – Tablet, phone (phablet) and NOW a watch?!?!?
I would agree, back to a time when phones where smaller, but the screen would be kind of small, and hard to see any thing really well. Now if it had a roll out display that would be cool, or holographic lol. Also those in ear buds that they make with no wires, now your talking. Can’t wait for the future lol
Something tells me the Apple Watch will have a 2 year life cycle, why?
Well the Apple Watch Edition comes with a two year warranty. Plus if you
look at other Apple products, lots of them aren’t renewed yearly (think
AppleTV, Mac Mini, Aiport Express, etc)
I agree with you. We might not see any design changes very soon, else ppl who spent on their edition watch will kill them…..
The one really crappy thing is not having Apple Pay in Canada yet. I personally think Apple Pay is one of the more appealing features of the Apple Watch. Not even having to pull out your phone to pay makes paying even faster!
I think that this launch will be similar to the launch of the iPad. Lots of unsure people at first, but then it will sell like hot cakes. I remember being unsure about the iPad myself. I bought one, not knowing if I actually needed one. And of course once I owned one for myself, I quickly realized the many benefits it had. I suspect my Apple Watch experience will be the same!
The nice thing about living in Canada is that I can simply tap and pay with my credit card. No phone needed. Apple pay and the watch are a complete waste of time, and a square watch is really ugly.
Yeah, most Canadians don’t realize that in the US, being able to tap to pay with your credit card is not nearly as widespread as it is up here. And chip cards are close to non-existent in the US. At least that’s what my US friends tell me.
Still I want Apple Pay also. I’m hoping they launch it here soon.
Apple Pay won’t come to Canada anytime soon. If and when the NFC chip is opened up to third parties I expect our banks to update their apps to support tap to pay by their own credit card, that way they can bypass Apple.
Obviously one of each of yellow gold 38mm and 42mm. Who needs to buy a car when I can buy Apple Watch?!
Man, Ex you are so ballin’…of course you’ll be sporting the rose gold in your convertible electric Apple Car on Robson St., right?
Robson?! Pfffttt
More like crusing the streets of West Van and Point Grey YO!
Wait, don’t you usually hang out around North Road in Coquitlam?
Little Korea…sadly yes….
*runs to H Mart in tears*
LOL!
I like how you can vote multiple times
I also like how at least a dozen people (supposedly), as of this writing, are claiming to buy a gold watch. Hilarious.
The poll limits votes based on IP, but those on mobile and VPN can get around that. IIC readership have bank vaults like Uncle Scrooge in Duck Tales.
Dammit! Now I have the Duck Tales theme playing in my head.
The movie, BTW, is on either US or Netherlands Netflix (or maybe both), if you, or your rug rat(s), are interested.
Just buy a used 16 GB iPod Nano with an iWatchz strap. You’ll get a nicer looking thinner watch with double the storage space, many times the battery life and even a headphone jack. It even comes with a pedometer and Mickey mouse watch face – just like the new one 🙂
