    I actually got excited about the iWatch rumors and I'm a pretty big Apple hater. A Google or Samsung smart watch that (probably) works better with my Galaxy Nexus than an iWatch would is even better.

    Google has become a "me too" company, championing imitation instead of innovation.

    Yeah, pretty much: Search, email, online storage, etc. But they seem to do a lot of things better.
