I feel indifferent about the parents. Perhaps the writers and directors wanted me to feel that way. I feel absolutely no sympathy for the kid. I am clearly unfit to be a parent.
I would say this is going to be a really really hard sell for most people. The instructions scare me more than anything else. They are written in such a way that it tries hard to not mention explicitly that LinkedIn effectively another gateway between the email provider and you.
I just don't get it. How do these companies just assume privacy is a non-issue and come out with products that just completely assume people will trust them because they have a cute privacy statement - "please trust us, we will never do anything with your data.".
I'm sorry LinkedIn. This isn't the Facebook crowd. A lot of LinkedIn is IT and I couldn't imagine the average LinkedIn user using this product.
People are just so used to the expected email monitoring from their government. So why not just trust everyone with your communications? Abstract thought not required
I'm much more of a LinkedIn fan than most here, and this sounded cool based on the blog post, but there's no way I'm going to let them have my email account credentials (or all of my email).
The Motorola Motoactv http://www.motoactv.com is an Android watch targeted to runners, so it has ANT+ as well as GPS and Bluetooth. Though it's much more expensive ($249), and doesn't have an open API. It pairs with Android phones and displays texts and lets you take calls with your headset.
That said, I have one, and use it for running and love it.
Phones will continue to have a separate OS, but as both are branded Metro, I would hazard most users wouldn't be aware of there being any difference. One is just on a smaller screen and doesn't come with the desktop fallback.
