Trip Chowdhry Global Equities Research falls somewhat latter category. His prediction? That Apple Watch 100,000 apps ready go launches April, 42 million units sold end December. Chowdry’s claim 100,000 apps based attending six Apple Watch-Kit hackathons “the past months.” Although I don’t doubt plenty apps ready go day, I’d frankly shocked it’s close number. By comparison, took iOS App Store 16 months hit 100,000 apps — point seen approximately 2,000,000,000 total downloads. His 42 million prediction bit closer mark, line reports pegging sales likely fall 30-60 million units first year market. While 42 million would fraction number units Apple sells iPhone, would still enough make runaway fastest selling new iOS device history. The iPad, comparison, sold 19.5 million units first year, iPhone moved relatively paltry 5.4 million units. Chowdry thinks Apple Watch go convert virtually every existing iPhone user, noting: “Since Apple Watch extends iPhone functionality provides user convenience ‘Glance’ ‘Notifications’ iPhone User, almost every current iPhone user, 350 million users, also Apple Watch user.” Chowdry also gives us neat way explaining away fact spent upwards $350 Apple Watch non-techy partners. “The $350 price Apple Watch appears non-issue,” writes, since, “On average Apple Watch user 100 Apps installed, one way think consumer getting 100 devices $350 ..i.e. $3.50 per device.” Finally, argues shouldn’t think “killer app” Apple Watch, as: “Different people different killer Applications devices. For games, others social messaging, navigation, music, video, email …and forth. Debating “what killer app device” passe’ – somewhat pre-year-2007 thinking, killer App used “Ringtones”.

There evidence Francis repeated words public audience Nov. 26, widely reported, boy mourning dead dog. So could fable quickly become taken fact? Part answer may topic pope’s talk crowd day, centered End Times transformation creation “new heaven” “new earth.” Citing St. Paul New Testament, Francis said “the annihilation cosmos everything around us, bringing things fullness being.” The trail digital bread crumbs appears lead Italian news report extended Francis’ discussion renewed creation question whether animals go heaven. “One day see pets eternity Christ,” report quoted Paul VI telling disconsolate boy years ago. The story titled, somewhat misleadingly: “Paradise animals? The Pope doesn’t rule out.” It wasn’t clear pope writer meant, however. The next day, Nov. 27, story Italian daily Corriere della Sera veteran Vaticanista Gian Guido Vecchi pushed headline further: “The Pope pets: “Paradise open creatures.” Vecchi faithfully recounted pope’s talk new creation, also cited Paul VI’s remark.

Pope Francis also preparing major teaching document environment, almost since day elected 2013 stressed Christian duty care creation. Francis also blessed blind man’s guide dog shortly elected, affecting image often used connection latest reports concern animals. Moreover, media public primed Francis say novel things disregard staid customs story good check out; fit pattern. In accounts, Francis’ comments also set statements predecessor, Benedict XVI, insisted animals souls.

Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance​ ​said​ Monday​ supported change two years ago still does. “This policy – diverting thousands cases criminal court – also keep low-level offenders, particularly teens, arrest attendant consequences, including night jail,” said. The new policy, first reported New York Times, would bring sea change way city policed. Misdemeanor-level marijuana possession accounts large percentage city’s arrests, vast majority happen young black Latino men living poor neighborhoods. Some public defenders praised policy. “This huge improvement,” Lisa Schreibersdorf, executive director Brooklyn Defender Services, told BuzzFeed News. “Summonses don’t get fingerprinted. This better people vulnerable collateral consequences, like immigrants.” Still, Schreibersdorf cautioned policy fulfill goal unless NYPD relaxes identification requirements summonses. Immigrants teenagers often carry valid identification, said, often means cannot processed summons. She added policy address root cause problem — namely, police officers New York routinely stop people without probable cause. “Having summonses improvement people already stopped, doesn’t mean stopped first place,” said. “The problem, perspective, stopping people without cause unconstitutional.” Advocates also warned new policy could result increased number arrest warrants, issued people fail show court summons. As New York Times reported, quarter people issued summons fail appear court appointments. As consequence, currently 1.2 million open bench warrants New York City — one per every eight residents. Possession less 25 grams marijuana crime New York State since 1977. The NYPD made 59,000 arrests misdemeanor possession 2010. Under current law, way get arrested charged misdemeanor less 25 grams marijuana display “in public view.” The legal definition term, however, ambiguous. “Public view” mean smoking pot public place, also mean police officer stopped you, frisked you, pulled small bag marijuana pocket. When bag leaves pocket, technically entered public view, officer legally arrest charge misdemeanor — even though less decriminalized amount. This broad interpretation “public view” helped low-level marijuana possession become one NYPD’s commonly used arrest charges stop-and-frisks. The correlation marijuana arrests stop-and-frisk became apparent 2011, U.S. District Court declared policing tactic unconstitutional form racial profiling. By 2013, NYPD making 28,000 marijuana possession arrests — still large number, 47% less 2010. A recent study nonprofit Drug Policy Alliance found upwards 86% low-level marijuana arrests made 2014 affected black people Latinos — even though national studies shown white people likely smoke marijuana regularly, slightly likely tried it. The report also found geography arrests highly segregated, dominantly white neighborhoods seeing fewer arrests neighborhoods color similar per-capita incomes. These stark race class disparities drug law enforcement became sore point Mayor de Blasio, candidate promised end discriminatory policing. They also drove Ken Thompson, Brooklyn district attorney, announce July office would longer prosecute low-level marijuana possession, opting instead dismiss cases. Still, NYPD defended high number arrests, Willam Bratton, de Blasio’s police commissioner, saying Thompson’s decision would affect NYPD’s approach marijuana possession. The policy announced Monday mark first time current administration take concerted action address disparities marijuana arrests. In interview New York Times, Thompson said worried new policy could harm intended help removing prosecutors picture. This prosecutor opt dismiss misdemeanor, cannot violation. But new report Vera Institute shows, prosecutorial review cut ways. The Institute analyzed data provided Manhattan District Attorney found black people Latinos “much likely receive sentence offer including jail prison term” white defendants similar circumstances. In case misdemeanor marijuana possession, Vera report found, black people arraigned Manhattan 19% likely receive jail prison time people ethnicities. By contrast, defendants arrested Brooklyn could expect cases dismissed. The new policy expected standardize procedures across city. More details new policy expected soon. De Blasio Bratton scheduled make announcement together Monday 3 p.m. This developing story.

Comme ont annoncé plusieurs médias (en prenant soin de mettre un point d’interrogation à la fin de leur titre, pour qu’on ne les accuse pas de propager des nouvelles-vidanges), le réalisateur de Star Wars epsiode VII, J. J. Abrams, aurait dit, au cours d’une cérémonie où il reçu un prix de la part du Visual Effects Society (VES) le 4 février, qu’il souhaitait que Disney devance la sortie de son film à cet été. Wow! Nous qui attendions avec impatience la date de lancement officielle, prévue pour le 18 décembre!! Comme vous l’apprenait Métro récemment, les médias sautent souvent sur une nouvelle sans vérifier les informations de bases. Examinons: 1. Tous les articles offrent comme source les sites iKwiz et Moviepilot. 2. iKwiz est un site qui offre des quiz et du contenu léger sous forme de listes. Ce n’est pas un site de nouvelles. 3. Moviepilot base son reportage sur cette vidéo YouTube qui apparaît sur… le site iKwiz. 4. Donc: tous les articles à propos de cette rumeur se basent sur une seule vidéo YouTube, qui, il faut le mentionner, n’a pas été créée par un journaliste. Le vidéaste ne mentionne aucune source pour son information. 5. Voici un article écrit le soir des VES sur la présence de J. J. Abrams. Aucune mention de la date de lancement de Star Wars. 6. Voici une entrevue avec M. Abrams lors des VES. Encore une fois, aucune mention de la date de lancement. 7. Le Twitter officiel de Star Wars réagit le 10 février sur ces rumeurs. On écrit «Maintenez la cible! Seulement 310 jours avant #TheForceAwakens.» La date de lancement originale est donc reconfirmée: 8. Disney studios n’ont toujours pas répondu au courriel que leur lancé l’inspecteur viral, sollicitant une confirmation officielle. Il mettra à jour son article, au cas échéant. Mais, encore plus ridicule: 9. Disney lancera Jurassic World cet été. Est-ce que Disney ressusciterait deux franchises-phares en même temps, séparant ainsi le revenu et l’attention médiatique? Voyons. 10. Disney lance aussi un autre film à gros budget cet été: Ant-Man. Le terrain commence à être pas mal serré pour Disney. 11. On ne peut pas devancer un film de six mois sans causer des problèmes majeurs de logistique, surtout pour un film comme Star Wars, où la myriade de joujoux et autres boîtes à lunch à l’effigie des personnages fait partie prenante du lancement.

Also, I haven’t seen video either. The situation Chelyabinsk 2013 different, course, video event showed hour two. I’d expect two days we’d visual evidence Managua now. Note: I’ve already seen video YouTube claiming fireball, it’s not; it’s bright meteor came Spain. Don’t fooled hoaxes! There always lots something like happens. The picture top post appears lot hoaxes; fireball Netherlands 2009. b) No meteorite yet found. If impact, debris crater, least microscopic scale. I haven’t heard analysis soil look fragments, either. I saying meteorite impact. I saying evidence I’ve seen far leaves pretty unconvinced. I’ll note happened near Air Force base, too, makes little suspicious.

It’s incredibly unlikely small piece asteroid far ahead main mass still managed hit us. The asteroid moving 40,000 kilometers per hour, still farther away Moon event occurred. Bottom line: This may may impact meteorite. At moment, based I’ve seen far, I’d bet it… I’ve wrong before.

In case, means doomsayers happy write Apple Watch worst thing Apple done since building smartphone, taking music industry iTunes, [insert actual bad decision], others go totally opposite direction predict landslide victory Apple’s favor. Trip Chowdhry Global Equities Research falls somewhat latter category. His prediction? That Apple Watch 100,000 apps ready go launches April, 42 million units sold end December. Chowdry’s claim 100,000 apps based attending six Apple Watch-Kit hackathons “the past months.” Although I don’t doubt plenty apps ready go day, I’d frankly shocked it’s close number. By comparison, took iOS App Store 16 months hit 100,000 apps — point seen approximately 2,000,000,000 total downloads. His 42 million prediction bit closer mark, line reports pegging sales likely fall 30-60 million units first year market. While 42 million would fraction number units Apple sells iPhone, would still enough make runaway fastest selling new iOS device history. The iPad, comparison, sold 19.5 million units first year, iPhone moved relatively paltry 5.4 million units. Chowdry thinks Apple Watch go convert virtually every existing iPhone user, noting: “Since Apple Watch extends iPhone functionality provides user convenience ‘Glance’ ‘Notifications’ iPhone User, almost every current iPhone user, 350 million users, also Apple Watch user.” Chowdry also gives us neat way explaining away fact spent upwards $350 Apple Watch non-techy partners. “The $350 price Apple Watch appears non-issue,” writes, since, “On average Apple Watch user 100 Apps installed, one way think consumer getting 100 devices $350 ..i.e. $3.50 per device.” Finally, argues shouldn’t think “killer app” Apple Watch, as: “Different people different killer Applications devices.

He held firm even civil war’s death toll climbed toward 200,000, Syrian government used chemical weapons civilians Islamic State militants strengthened amid chaos. Now Obama must decide whether extremist group’s murder American journalist James Foley, well broader threat group could pose U.S. interests, change cautious calculus. Pressure coming military leaders go Islamic State inside Syria. But must weigh aversion risks could come plunging United States country torn apart intractable internal conflict. White House officials suggested airstrikes Syria option, though officials say specific military proposals yet presented president. “We’re actively considering what’s going necessary deal threat, we’re going restricted borders,” said Ben Rhodes, Obama’s deputy national security adviser. “We’ve shown time there’s counterterrorism threat, we’ll take direct action threat, necessary.” Even Foley’s murder, Obama found far different footing Middle East probably expected sixth year presidency. After running White House pledge end Iraq war making good promise late 2011, Obama thrust U.S. military back Iraq month limited airstrike campaign Islamic State targets.

Syria host military players close proximity other, including Islamic State, al-Qaida-linked Nusra Front, mainstream Western-backed rebels pro-government forces. The Islamic State among groups fighting Assad, meaning U.S. campaign weaken extremists could actually strengthen leader White House sought push office.

The story titled, somewhat misleadingly: “Paradise animals? The Pope doesn’t rule out.” It wasn’t clear pope writer meant, however. The next day, Nov. 27, story Italian daily Corriere della Sera veteran Vaticanista Gian Guido Vecchi pushed headline further: “The Pope pets: “Paradise open creatures.” Vecchi faithfully recounted pope’s talk new creation, also cited Paul VI’s remark.

Francis also blessed blind man’s guide dog shortly elected, affecting image often used connection latest reports concern animals.

There evidence Francis repeated words public audience Nov. 26, widely reported, boy mourning dead dog. So could fable quickly become taken fact? Part answer may topic pope’s talk crowd day, centered End Times transformation creation “new heaven” “new earth.” Citing St. Paul New Testament, Francis said “the annihilation cosmos everything around us, bringing things fullness being.” The trail digital bread crumbs appears lead Italian news report extended Francis’ discussion renewed creation question whether animals go heaven. “One day see pets eternity Christ,” report quoted Paul VI telling disconsolate boy years ago. The story titled, somewhat misleadingly: “Paradise animals? The Pope doesn’t rule out.” It wasn’t clear pope writer meant, however. The next day, Nov. 27, story Italian daily Corriere della Sera veteran Vaticanista Gian Guido Vecchi pushed headline further: “The Pope pets: “Paradise open creatures.” Vecchi faithfully recounted pope’s talk new creation, also cited Paul VI’s remark. But headline put words Francis’ mouth, became story.

Pope Francis also preparing major teaching document environment, almost since day elected 2013 stressed Christian duty care creation. Francis also blessed blind man’s guide dog shortly elected, affecting image often used connection latest reports concern animals. Moreover, media public primed Francis say novel things disregard staid customs story good check out; fit pattern. In accounts, Francis’ comments also set statements predecessor, Benedict XVI, insisted animals souls. That apparent contrast fit common narrative pitting conservative Benedict ostensibly liberal Francis. That may true areas, probably comes animals. Adding insult injury, Times article cited St. John Paul II saying 1990 animals souls “as near God men are.” But that, too, misquote, media critic Dawn Eden explained website GetReligion. On hand, warnings signs: Francis frowned modern tendency favor pets people, criticized vast amounts money spent wealthy societies animals even children go hungry. In addition, pope’s huge popularity led least one instance myth-making: news reports last year said Francis sneaking Vatican night feed homeless around Rome.

Few details new policy immediately available, official one city’s five district attorneys offices confirmed BuzzFeed News Monday change “is happening.” The official added “burning marijuana” would still cause arrest, drug public place would not. The NYPD Mayor Bill de Blasio’s office immediately respond requests comment, expected officially announce new policy news conference Monday. Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance​ ​said​ Monday​ supported change two years ago still does. “This policy – diverting thousands cases criminal court – also keep low-level offenders, particularly teens, arrest attendant consequences, including night jail,” said.

This better people vulnerable collateral consequences, like immigrants.” Still, Schreibersdorf cautioned policy fulfill goal unless NYPD relaxes identification requirements summonses. Immigrants teenagers often carry valid identification, said, often means cannot processed summons. She added policy address root cause problem — namely, police officers New York routinely stop people without probable cause. “Having summonses improvement people already stopped, doesn’t mean stopped first place,” said. “The problem, perspective, stopping people without cause unconstitutional.” Advocates also warned new policy could result increased number arrest warrants, issued people fail show court summons.

These stark race class disparities drug law enforcement became sore point Mayor de Blasio, candidate promised end discriminatory policing. They also drove Ken Thompson, Brooklyn district attorney, announce July office would longer prosecute low-level marijuana possession, opting instead dismiss cases.

Apple critics always roasted company selling products expensive be, frequently use wedge topic criticize buyers. But “18-karat gold” Apple Watch Edition set whole new bar sales price $10,000. The funny thing case Apple perfectly right charging much! Do disagree? Check counterpoint, “The Case Against $10,000 Gold Apple Watch Edition“ Gold Expensive Let’s start little backgrounder gold. Everyone vague sense gold expensive. Even rabid Internet trolls seen banner ads heard news. But people don’t understand expensive even little bit gold is. So good place begin discussion. Update: My calculations wrong! Also, bit “back envelope.” Now readership I realize I go back fix calculations article realistic… Here basic facts: Gold currently sells $1,200 $1,300 per troy ounce $1,000 per troy ounce last five years. 18-karat gold contains 75% pure gold, term regulated law. One ounce 18k gold occupies 1.8 cubic centimeters volume since typical 18-karat gold alloy weighs 16.5 grams per cc. 18-karat gold currently sells $29.11 per gram, $905 per troy ounce, $480 per cc. .25 cc 18k gold enough construct watch buckle .75 cc gets deployant clasp. It takes build watch case, anywhere 1.5 8 cc depending size thickness case. So buckle worth $120-$360 watch case $720 $3800 raw gold. This gold watches generally sell lot $6,000! Gold Watches Expensive Let’s apply watch case. Imagine wanted create rectangular case 42 mm high 36 mm wide 10 mm deep. If solid, would equal 15.12 cc volume. But it’s watch case, leave room movement, dial, case back, etc. So let’s leave 5 mm thickness around, making hollow rectangle. This equals 6.8 cc (42 x 36 x 10 – 32 x 26 x 10). Therefore, raw gold make case hypothetical watch would cost $3,200 writing. A simple 42x36x10 mm rectangle 5 mm thick 18-karat gold would cost $8,300 A simple 42x36x10 mm rectangle 5 mm thick 18-karat gold would cost $3,200 Now let’s consider shape 2 mm thick. That’s 2.9 cc gold, worth $1,400. Pick thickness you’re still looking thousands dollars worth gold. How translate real world? Let’s look retail price watches available stainless steel 18-karat gold. This Cartier Tank MC $15,000 18k gold This Cartier Tank MC $15,000 18k gold The Cartier Tank MC measures 44 mm 34 mm 9.5 mm thick: $15,000 extra (list) 18k gold Cartier Tank MC stainless steel: $7,000 list, $5,800 street Cartier Tank MC 18k pink gold: $22,000 list, $18,200 street The Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Squadra Hometime measures 50.5 mm 34.9 mm 14 mm thick: $14,750 extra (list) 18k gold Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Squadra Hometime stainless steel: $8,550 list, $6,800 street Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Squadra Hometime 18k pink gold: $23,300 list, $18,400 street This list could go on, gist simple: 18-karat gold cases cost lot stainless steel. In fact, it’s pretty much impossible find gold watch $10,000 size manufacturer. Even tiny quartz ladies watches like tiny Chopard Happy Sport Mini sells $11,000! Most bargains commenters pointed either 14-karat less, slim small, long production outdated pricing. Then there’s bracelet. Swap gold bracelet leather strap looking extra $20,000. Adding gold bracelet Jaeger-LeCoultre bumps price $42,900! Certainly quite bit profit luxury watches, one simply cannot deny raw material value gold watch case. And gold market liquid like stocks commodities: There plenty buyers sellers gold, plenty reserves, company, matter strong, expect favorable pricing suppliers. Another reason companies charge much gold watches jewelry hedge volatility. They can’t price near commodity price set price stick year long. So generally price somewhat higher would, even taking consideration rest materials, labor, distribution, profit watch. The Apple Watch Edition Will Cost $10,000 There’s reason I picked two watches comparisons: Both similar size shape 42 mm Apple Watch. The Cartier little smaller Jaeger-LeCoultre little larger, represent traditional watchmaker’s gold-cased square-ish offering space. And cost $20,000, much price going gold case matching buckle. And Jony Ive recently said historic Cartier Tank one inspirations Apple Watch design! Apple would crazy sell Apple Watch Edition $20,000, though. That’s going happen. So they’re likely find ways reduce cost dramatically. First, see, Apple Watch case highly rounded three dimensions. Although questionable esthetic standpoint, reduces amount material required quite lot. Second, Apple Watch large sapphire crystal front back display, sensors, such. Third, interior frame likely made steel aluminum, gold, reduce cost increase commonality aluminum steel versions. Could gold plated? No. Numerous reports state solid gold case. Although Apple apparently used word, “solid” press releases, claim “crafted 18-karat gold” nowhere say plated “gold filled” (the industry term). There laws covering descriptions metal content jewelry Apple cannot break Tiffany could. Apple says Apple Watch start $349 aluminum Sport model, many bloggers reported price steel Apple Watch roughly $1,000. It reasonable assume gold Edition model sell substantially this, many suggesting $4,000 $5,000. But remember price would cover 4 5 ounces gold! Even thin walls steel frame, it’s hard see Apple could make solid 18-karat gold case buckle 42 mm watch 3 ounces gold. Gold soft, Apple claims special gold twice hard “standard gold”. Taking face value, perhaps reduced thickness case commensurately, cutting amount gold half versus standard rectangular watch. This still leaves thousand dollars material value case. The Apple Watch Edition come 38 mm 42 mm sizes, difference 20% terms case volume. So smaller model could sell 20% less still. My prediction 42 mm Apple Watch Edition retail $9,999 38 mm Apple Watch Edition retailing $7,999. This covers cost gold case, internals, manufacturing, sales, profit, yet leave Apple subsidizing world gold market selling discount cheating too-thin plated case. I shocked price $4,999, I suppose it’s possible finagling that’s smaller model. And less that. This $10,000 product This $10,000 product Bonus prediction: Given high price Apple Watch Edition, I predict availability quite limited. Apple likely create special store-within-a-store spaces certain Apple Store locations Edition. I expect open special standalone Apple Edition Boutiques sell Watch Edition, accessories, perhaps future high-end products. Update! Needless say, many people disagree me. And @Gruber Fireballed post, I imagine I’ll hear lots real soon! The gist disagreement lies amount gold needed watch case. I assumed would quite thick (read sturdy) would contain upwards 130 grams 18k gold. Then there’s strap lugs buckle would likely contain another dozen grams. But @GAK_PDX (and others, though visually eloquent) suspects contains much less gold. I think number way low, it’s good lower bound case thin completely hollow. And puts raw gold $849 $29.11 per gram 18k gold. Although admittedly much, much lower estimate, still illustrates point Apple Watch Edition going cheap. And I think he’s way time tell right wrong.

News circulating potential meteorite strike near Managua, Nicaragua late Saturday night, 13 hours close flyby 20-m asteroid 2014 RC, leading suggest two events related. However, according experts examining evidence, including NASA, two events completely unrelated, explosion Managua may nothing objects falling space. According Nicaraguan news site el19digital.com, explosion occurred around 11:05 p.m. Saturday night, city Managua, apparently produced crater 12 metres (39 feet) wide 1.5 metres (5 feet) deep, wooded area west city's international airport, south Pan-American Highway. The video below, RT.com, shows military personnel investigating crater, well surrounding area, potential debris explosion. While incident still investigated, officials Nicaragua's Institute Territorial Studies (INET), monitors earthquake activity country, said event showed agency's seismic instruments. ""We convinced meteorite. We seen crater impact,"" Wilfried Strauch INET said press conference, according Agence France-Presse (AFP). ""You see two waves: first, small seismic wave meteorite hit earth, another stronger one, impact sound."" However, reports people hearing explosion, scientists seismic data it, resulting crater, parts story add up. A 20-metre wide asteroid named 2014 RC passed Earth Sunday, flying underneath planet (from perspective someone northern hemisphere), roughly 13-hour difference timing two events, saw potential connection events. It's entirely unreasonable suggest this. There 11,000 known near-Earth asteroids flying around Sun, likely millions detected (and likely won't, they're small). While follow path circle Sun, alone. Some asteroids tiny moons orbiting them. Some best described 'rubble piles', groups smaller objects barely held together boulder-like shape mutual gravity. Others travelling along 'packs' members preceding lagging behind 'pack leader' - possibly due impact another meteoroid asteroid point. So, one asteroid 'packs' flying by, asteroid still debris past impact travelling along orbit, possible one piece could strike atmosphere survive hit ground. However, two events - asteroid flyby meteorite impact - happen close one another, mean related. We saw back mid-February 2013, watching asteroid 2012 DA14 sweep Earth suddenly 20-m wide asteroid exploded Chelyabinsk, Russia. The exact timing traced orbits two objects quickly showed completely separate objects timing coincidence. According NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory Near Earth Object Office, appears case event: A meteorite without meteor? An interesting fact supposed 'impact' that, although explosion heard throughout area, apparently nobody witnessed bright light associated it. When meteoroid enters atmosphere, even speck dust, traveling fast (typically around 17 kilometres per second 60,000 km/h) heats air front it, causing air glow brightly produce streak light sky call meteor. Larger objects cause even brighter flashes, earning name fireball,or even bolide (for exceptionally large bright one). Some bright can, briefly, turn night day pass overhead. Given weather Managua Saturday night (scattered clouds calm winds), would difficult miss fireball bolide lighting night sky, especially happened near city 2 million people. According Associated Press, Strauch said ""very strange one reported streak light. We ask anyone photo something."" Was something else? This lack fireball sticking point story. While nearly meteorites go 'dark flight' phase final part journey Earth's surface - slowed enough compressing air enough cause glow - fireball bolide stage happens far atmosphere, 20 30 kilometres ground, making visible far wide across countryside. Geoff Nodkin, professional meteorite hunter host Science Channel's Meteorite Men, tweeted thoughts possibility authentic: Notkin commented meteorite-related, would expect bright fireball, sonic booms object's dark flight impact. He also said that, produce crater like one seen, would iron meteorite, densest ""have formed majority known meteorite craters Earth"" In interview National Geographic, Donald Yeomans, author Near-Earth Objects: Finding Them Before They Find Us, said: ""There obvious optical fireball debris trail seen prior explosion, seems unlikely explosion Nicaragua related meteorite impact.""

News circulating potential meteorite strike near Managua, Nicaragua late Saturday night, 13 hours close flyby 20-m asteroid 2014 RC, leading suggest two events related. However, according experts examining evidence, including NASA, two events completely unrelated, explosion Managua may nothing objects falling space. According Nicaraguan news site el19digital.com, explosion occurred around 11:05 p.m. Saturday night, city Managua, apparently produced crater 12 metres (39 feet) wide 1.5 metres (5 feet) deep, wooded area west city's international airport, south Pan-American Highway. The video below, RT.com, shows military personnel investigating crater, well surrounding area, potential debris explosion. While incident still investigated, officials Nicaragua's Institute Territorial Studies (INET), monitors earthquake activity country, said event showed agency's seismic instruments. ""We convinced meteorite. We seen crater impact,"" Wilfried Strauch INET said press conference, according Agence France-Presse (AFP). ""You see two waves: first, small seismic wave meteorite hit earth, another stronger one, impact sound."" However, reports people hearing explosion, scientists seismic data it, resulting crater, parts story add up. A 20-metre wide asteroid named 2014 RC passed Earth Sunday, flying underneath planet (from perspective someone northern hemisphere), roughly 13-hour difference timing two events, saw potential connection events. It's entirely unreasonable suggest this. There 11,000 known near-Earth asteroids flying around Sun, likely millions detected (and likely won't, they're small). While follow path circle Sun, alone. Some asteroids tiny moons orbiting them. Some best described 'rubble piles', groups smaller objects barely held together boulder-like shape mutual gravity. Others travelling along 'packs' members preceding lagging behind 'pack leader' - possibly due impact another meteoroid asteroid point. So, one asteroid 'packs' flying by, asteroid still debris past impact travelling along orbit, possible one piece could strike atmosphere survive hit ground. However, two events - asteroid flyby meteorite impact - happen close one another, mean related. We saw back mid-February 2013, watching asteroid 2012 DA14 sweep Earth suddenly 20-m wide asteroid exploded Chelyabinsk, Russia. The exact timing traced orbits two objects quickly showed completely separate objects timing coincidence. According NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory Near Earth Object Office, appears case event: A meteorite without meteor? An interesting fact supposed 'impact' that, although explosion heard throughout area, apparently nobody witnessed bright light associated it. When meteoroid enters atmosphere, even speck dust, traveling fast (typically around 17 kilometres per second 60,000 km/h) heats air front it, causing air glow brightly produce streak light sky call meteor. Larger objects cause even brighter flashes, earning name fireball,or even bolide (for exceptionally large bright one). Some bright can, briefly, turn night day pass overhead. Given weather Managua Saturday night (scattered clouds calm winds), would difficult miss fireball bolide lighting night sky, especially happened near city 2 million people. According Associated Press, Strauch said ""very strange one reported streak light. We ask anyone photo something."" Was something else? This lack fireball sticking point story. While nearly meteorites go 'dark flight' phase final part journey Earth's surface - slowed enough compressing air enough cause glow - fireball bolide stage happens far atmosphere, 20 30 kilometres ground, making visible far wide across countryside. Geoff Nodkin, professional meteorite hunter host Science Channel's Meteorite Men, tweeted thoughts possibility authentic: Notkin commented meteorite-related, would expect bright fireball, sonic booms object's dark flight impact. He also said that, produce crater like one seen, would iron meteorite, densest ""have formed majority known meteorite craters Earth"" In interview National Geographic, Donald Yeomans, author Near-Earth Objects: Finding Them Before They Find Us, said: ""There obvious optical fireball debris trail seen prior explosion, seems unlikely explosion Nicaragua related meteorite impact.""

Apple critics always roasted company selling products expensive be, frequently use wedge topic criticize buyers. But “18-karat gold” Apple Watch Edition set whole new bar sales price $10,000. The funny thing case Apple perfectly right charging much! Do disagree? Check counterpoint, “The Case Against $10,000 Gold Apple Watch Edition“ Gold Expensive Let’s start little backgrounder gold. Everyone vague sense gold expensive. Even rabid Internet trolls seen banner ads heard news. But people don’t understand expensive even little bit gold is. So good place begin discussion. Update: My calculations wrong! Also, bit “back envelope.” Now readership I realize I go back fix calculations article realistic… Here basic facts: Gold currently sells $1,200 $1,300 per troy ounce $1,000 per troy ounce last five years. 18-karat gold contains 75% pure gold, term regulated law. One ounce 18k gold occupies 1.8 cubic centimeters volume since typical 18-karat gold alloy weighs 16.5 grams per cc. 18-karat gold currently sells $29.11 per gram, $905 per troy ounce, $480 per cc. .25 cc 18k gold enough construct watch buckle .75 cc gets deployant clasp. It takes build watch case, anywhere 1.5 8 cc depending size thickness case. So buckle worth $120-$360 watch case $720 $3800 raw gold. This gold watches generally sell lot $6,000! Gold Watches Expensive Let’s apply watch case. Imagine wanted create rectangular case 42 mm high 36 mm wide 10 mm deep. If solid, would equal 15.12 cc volume. But it’s watch case, leave room movement, dial, case back, etc. So let’s leave 5 mm thickness around, making hollow rectangle. This equals 6.8 cc (42 x 36 x 10 – 32 x 26 x 10). Therefore, raw gold make case hypothetical watch would cost $3,200 writing. A simple 42x36x10 mm rectangle 5 mm thick 18-karat gold would cost $8,300 A simple 42x36x10 mm rectangle 5 mm thick 18-karat gold would cost $3,200 Now let’s consider shape 2 mm thick. That’s 2.9 cc gold, worth $1,400. Pick thickness you’re still looking thousands dollars worth gold. How translate real world? Let’s look retail price watches available stainless steel 18-karat gold. This Cartier Tank MC $15,000 18k gold This Cartier Tank MC $15,000 18k gold The Cartier Tank MC measures 44 mm 34 mm 9.5 mm thick: $15,000 extra (list) 18k gold Cartier Tank MC stainless steel: $7,000 list, $5,800 street Cartier Tank MC 18k pink gold: $22,000 list, $18,200 street The Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Squadra Hometime measures 50.5 mm 34.9 mm 14 mm thick: $14,750 extra (list) 18k gold Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Squadra Hometime stainless steel: $8,550 list, $6,800 street Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Squadra Hometime 18k pink gold: $23,300 list, $18,400 street This list could go on, gist simple: 18-karat gold cases cost lot stainless steel. In fact, it’s pretty much impossible find gold watch $10,000 size manufacturer. Even tiny quartz ladies watches like tiny Chopard Happy Sport Mini sells $11,000! Most bargains commenters pointed either 14-karat less, slim small, long production outdated pricing. Then there’s bracelet. Swap gold bracelet leather strap looking extra $20,000. Adding gold bracelet Jaeger-LeCoultre bumps price $42,900! Certainly quite bit profit luxury watches, one simply cannot deny raw material value gold watch case. And gold market liquid like stocks commodities: There plenty buyers sellers gold, plenty reserves, company, matter strong, expect favorable pricing suppliers. Another reason companies charge much gold watches jewelry hedge volatility. They can’t price near commodity price set price stick year long. So generally price somewhat higher would, even taking consideration rest materials, labor, distribution, profit watch. The Apple Watch Edition Will Cost $10,000 There’s reason I picked two watches comparisons: Both similar size shape 42 mm Apple Watch. The Cartier little smaller Jaeger-LeCoultre little larger, represent traditional watchmaker’s gold-cased square-ish offering space. And cost $20,000, much price going gold case matching buckle. And Jony Ive recently said historic Cartier Tank one inspirations Apple Watch design! Apple would crazy sell Apple Watch Edition $20,000, though. That’s going happen. So they’re likely find ways reduce cost dramatically. First, see, Apple Watch case highly rounded three dimensions. Although questionable esthetic standpoint, reduces amount material required quite lot. Second, Apple Watch large sapphire crystal front back display, sensors, such. Third, interior frame likely made steel aluminum, gold, reduce cost increase commonality aluminum steel versions. Could gold plated? No. Numerous reports state solid gold case. Although Apple apparently used word, “solid” press releases, claim “crafted 18-karat gold” nowhere say plated “gold filled” (the industry term). There laws covering descriptions metal content jewelry Apple cannot break Tiffany could. Apple says Apple Watch start $349 aluminum Sport model, many bloggers reported price steel Apple Watch roughly $1,000. It reasonable assume gold Edition model sell substantially this, many suggesting $4,000 $5,000. But remember price would cover 4 5 ounces gold! Even thin walls steel frame, it’s hard see Apple could make solid 18-karat gold case buckle 42 mm watch 3 ounces gold. Gold soft, Apple claims special gold twice hard “standard gold”. Taking face value, perhaps reduced thickness case commensurately, cutting amount gold half versus standard rectangular watch. This still leaves thousand dollars material value case. The Apple Watch Edition come 38 mm 42 mm sizes, difference 20% terms case volume. So smaller model could sell 20% less still. My prediction 42 mm Apple Watch Edition retail $9,999 38 mm Apple Watch Edition retailing $7,999. This covers cost gold case, internals, manufacturing, sales, profit, yet leave Apple subsidizing world gold market selling discount cheating too-thin plated case. I shocked price $4,999, I suppose it’s possible finagling that’s smaller model. And less that. This $10,000 product This $10,000 product Bonus prediction: Given high price Apple Watch Edition, I predict availability quite limited. Apple likely create special store-within-a-store spaces certain Apple Store locations Edition. I expect open special standalone Apple Edition Boutiques sell Watch Edition, accessories, perhaps future high-end products. Update! Needless say, many people disagree me. And @Gruber Fireballed post, I imagine I’ll hear lots real soon! The gist disagreement lies amount gold needed watch case. I assumed would quite thick (read sturdy) would contain upwards 130 grams 18k gold. Then there’s strap lugs buckle would likely contain another dozen grams. But @GAK_PDX (and others, though visually eloquent) suspects contains much less gold. I think number way low, it’s good lower bound case thin completely hollow. And puts raw gold $849 $29.11 per gram 18k gold. Although admittedly much, much lower estimate, still illustrates point Apple Watch Edition going cheap. And I think he’s way time tell right wrong. Another argument based 2006 analysis gold Rolex watch. Right bat one point gold cost $400/oz written watch includes gold bracelet well, something Apple apparently going Edition. That Rolex case contained 18.5 grams gold alloy, it’s much, much smaller Apple watch it’s circular boot! A 34mm circle 107mm circumference, 42mm Apple Watch 156mm circumference. Use magic math scale Rolex 42mm rectangle we’re 27.75 grams. But case also much thinner since excluded bezel, Apple Watch pretty slab-sided. So probably double safely come $1,615 gold mangled square Rolex case. So lower estimates mine amount value gold. I accept that. But let’s take step back think final price. Even contained less $1,500 gold, much would sell for? Certainly $2,000 $3,000. You still account cost everything else, plus intangibles manufacturing distribution. And profit Apple (and hedge volatility price gold). So we’re back $4,000-$5,000 estimate others made. As Greg Koenig tweeted, Forbes reported, “If anyone thinks Apple charging less $5k Edition, smoking crack.” Regardless total, it’s important realize price gold driver’s seat comes pricing Apple Watch Edition.

News circulating potential meteorite strike near Managua, Nicaragua late Saturday night, 13 hours close flyby 20-m asteroid 2014 RC, leading suggest two events related. However, according experts examining evidence, including NASA, two events completely unrelated, explosion Managua may nothing objects falling space. According Nicaraguan news site el19digital.com, explosion occurred around 11:05 p.m. Saturday night, city Managua, apparently produced crater 12 metres (39 feet) wide 1.5 metres (5 feet) deep, wooded area west city's international airport, south Pan-American Highway. The video below, RT.com, shows military personnel investigating crater, well surrounding area, potential debris explosion. While incident still investigated, officials Nicaragua's Institute Territorial Studies (INET), monitors earthquake activity country, said event showed agency's seismic instruments. ""We convinced meteorite. We seen crater impact,"" Wilfried Strauch INET said press conference, according Agence France-Presse (AFP). ""You see two waves: first, small seismic wave meteorite hit earth, another stronger one, impact sound."" However, reports people hearing explosion, scientists seismic data it, resulting crater, parts story add up. A 20-metre wide asteroid named 2014 RC passed Earth Sunday, flying underneath planet (from perspective someone northern hemisphere), roughly 13-hour difference timing two events, saw potential connection events. It's entirely unreasonable suggest this. There 11,000 known near-Earth asteroids flying around Sun, likely millions detected (and likely won't, they're small). While follow path circle Sun, alone. Some asteroids tiny moons orbiting them. Some best described 'rubble piles', groups smaller objects barely held together boulder-like shape mutual gravity. Others travelling along 'packs' members preceding lagging behind 'pack leader' - possibly due impact another meteoroid asteroid point. So, one asteroid 'packs' flying by, asteroid still debris past impact travelling along orbit, possible one piece could strike atmosphere survive hit ground. However, two events - asteroid flyby meteorite impact - happen close one another, mean related. We saw back mid-February 2013, watching asteroid 2012 DA14 sweep Earth suddenly 20-m wide asteroid exploded Chelyabinsk, Russia. The exact timing traced orbits two objects quickly showed completely separate objects timing coincidence. According NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory Near Earth Object Office, appears case event: A meteorite without meteor? An interesting fact supposed 'impact' that, although explosion heard throughout area, apparently nobody witnessed bright light associated it. When meteoroid enters atmosphere, even speck dust, traveling fast (typically around 17 kilometres per second 60,000 km/h) heats air front it, causing air glow brightly produce streak light sky call meteor. Larger objects cause even brighter flashes, earning name fireball,or even bolide (for exceptionally large bright one). Some bright can, briefly, turn night day pass overhead. Given weather Managua Saturday night (scattered clouds calm winds), would difficult miss fireball bolide lighting night sky, especially happened near city 2 million people. According Associated Press, Strauch said ""very strange one reported streak light. We ask anyone photo something."" Was something else? This lack fireball sticking point story. While nearly meteorites go 'dark flight' phase final part journey Earth's surface - slowed enough compressing air enough cause glow - fireball bolide stage happens far atmosphere, 20 30 kilometres ground, making visible far wide across countryside. Geoff Nodkin, professional meteorite hunter host Science Channel's Meteorite Men, tweeted thoughts possibility authentic: Notkin commented meteorite-related, would expect bright fireball, sonic booms object's dark flight impact. He also said that, produce crater like one seen, would iron meteorite, densest ""have formed majority known meteorite craters Earth"" In interview National Geographic, Donald Yeomans, author Near-Earth Objects: Finding Them Before They Find Us, said: ""There obvious optical fireball debris trail seen prior explosion, seems unlikely explosion Nicaragua related meteorite impact.""

Over summer, Omidyar appointed longtime confidante, John Temple — former newspaper editor previously led Omidyar-financed civic journalism venture Hawaii — president audience products, putting position Eric Bates, former Rolling Stone editor brought First Look editorial director, close Taibbi. The “leave absence” also comes three months I first reported Omidyar apparently ordered Taibbi change strategy away purely covering corporate fatcats (like, uh, Pierre Omidyar) wider mission, involving comedy reporting. Around time I heard rumors Eric Bates also unhappy organization. I’ve previously a… uh… spirited email conversation Taibbi claims, although Taibbi would engage condition words “not publication” — strange demand coming editor site that’s leaking confidential documents. I emailed Taibbi today ask I publish responses light today’s news. He replied: “No, may not.” Here then, little it’s worth, side correspondence, back July, I laid state First Look I saw (with little help well placed sources.) The discussion was… uh… spirited sides.

Given First Look’s policy publishing confidential documents fact seems clear Taibbi wasn’t entirely truthful place company, I ultimately came side publishing responses, Taibbi’s words redacted.

More broadly, happy stay record, there’s clearly something weird going there. Why 250m journalism project shift focus it’s launched? It suggests PO clue handle talent retreating back technology.

I think either made decision reasons easier life, blog post first heard change publicly fucked over.” Here’s question, don’t seem keen answer: Did know Pierre going leave finance post editorial mission would be? If not, doesn’t worry you? If so, reasoning behind mentioning thing best known likely make sole funder boss uncomfortable? A follow-up question: What make fact First Look journalists — Greenwald particular — insist Pierre control editorial (indeed you’ve insisted similar conversation) yet he’s one laying company’s editorial plan? Why wouldn’t job actual editors? Instead $250m funder issuing statement marginalizes one aspect work might sting reassuring world — don’t worry! — intends permit Greenwald continue jobs, decided axe plans editorial sites previously (in video starring him) said would fund. What phrase “editorial independence” actually mean First Look? [Redacted Taibbi quote] I think that’s told first hired, yes. People told lots things first dates. [Redacted Taibbi quote] I’ve never said otherwise. That’s total red herring. [Redacted Taibbi quote] [Redacted] I didn’t mention anything story Pierre ordering stop writing (because, I’ve made clear, I don’t believe would make sense); I didn’t mention I suspect might told hired (because, again, I don’t know. What I know — I wrote — public statements mission changed); I didn’t mention satirical publication hasn’t changed. [Redacted Taibbi quote] A press release job focus be, written man writes pay checks backing almost editorial strategy place hired. A press release odds previous statements focus be; specifically leaving one thing would seem potential make Omidyar concerned. Yes, I believe means focussing far less aspect things and, yes, I believe it’s either choice you’ve consciously made, choice Pierre attempting make passive aggressive public messaging. Your choice denial interesting. “[Redacted]” That’s line Greenwald used challenged whether would write Pierre’s business interests. Clear enough sound like denial, general enough allow focus energies away Wall Street. Do least concede previously chief focus site finance it’s politics “culture”? If *main focus* site still uncovering financial corruption? Yes no? If yes, boss mischaracterize site badly blog post, no, not? [Redacted Taibbi quote] Pierre interfering First Look’s editorial plans start. Every single editorial plan First Look exists Pierre’s pleasure. He sole funder one making public statements intends allocate resources. How possible understand Wall Street well don’t understand that? [Redacted Taibbi quote] Yes, what’s apparent Omidyar’s statement. [Redacted Taibbi quote] I plenty information, printed I knew, giving opportunity respond publication. I’d plenty information set record straight you’d answer questions above. Or better still, stop hiding behind “not publication.” Why, you’re unfairly maligned, won’t let shared readers?

As last night, FBI investigating; guy’s IP fact video file presumably timestamped, I assume they’ll able verify debunk quickly. It could prank — man recorded seems be, er, “enjoying” video chat happened — he’s caught saying tame. If going prank CNN getting air something sexually explicit name reporting news, you’d explicit this, no? If it’s authentic, tells us many shots fired. The man’s attorney tells Don Lemon hears 11 shots. I hear 10. A forensic examiner listened tape told CNN heard “at least 10,” six shots followed pause followed four more. The autopsy report family’s forensic pathologist claims Brown hit least six times, front. That means hit least twice first flurry six shots heard here, furthermore facing Wilson point flurry. It’s bizarre Brown would turned back face man still process firing fairly close range, I don’t know conclusion drawn based know. The fact Brown apparently wounded fateful pause, either rushed Wilson tried surrender, also important. The prosecution argue Wilson, already drawn blood, realized weakened Brown longer much physical threat. Wilson argue felt threatened precisely Brown allegedly kept coming wounded. A man strong enough take two shots angry enough advance cop gun lethally dangerous, he’ll say. Here’s Brown’s friend, Dorian Johnson, described happened them: Now, line officer’s driver’s side door, could see officer’s face. They heard say something effect of, “what’d say?” At time, Johnson says officer attempted thrust door open door slammed Brown bounced closed. Johnson says officer, left hand, grabbed Brown neck… At moment, Johnson says fixed gaze officer see pulling stun gun real gun. That’s saw muzzle officer’s gun. “I seen barrel gun pointed friend,” said. “He pointed said ‘I’ll shoot,’ one time.” A second later Johnson said heard first shot go off… Johnson says within arm’s reach Brown officer. He looked Brown saw blood pooling shirt right side body. “The whole time [the officer] holding friend gun went off,” Johnson noted. Brown Johnson took running together. There three cars lined along side street. Johnson says ducked behind first car, whose two passengers screaming. Crouching bit, watched Brown run past. “Keep running, bro!,” said Brown yelled. Then Brown yelled second time. Those would last words Johnson’s friend, “Big Mike,” would ever say him. Brown made past third car. Then, “blam!” officer took second shot, striking Brown back. At point, Johnson says Brown stopped, turned hands said “I don’t gun, stop shooting!” According Johnson, then, first shot hit Brown fired Wilson still sitting squad car struggling him, least would explain Brown hit front first flurry. Brown managed run three car lengths Wilson — presumably still inside car — fired second shot, hitting Brown back. We know autopsy report last detail false; listening audio, timeline first part seems false too. There’s virtually delay first second shots fired, certainly long enough words exchanged Brown Johnson. Unless audio picks first shot fired, i.e. unless begins what’s actually second shot fired Brown, I don’t know square Johnson’s account this. Here’s NYT said eyewitnesses told police: Some accounts seem agree fatal altercation initially unfolded: struggle officer, Darren Wilson, teenager, Michael Brown. Officer Wilson inside patrol car time, Mr. Brown, unarmed, leaning open window. Many witnesses also agreed happened next: Officer Wilson’s firearm went inside car, Mr. Brown ran away, officer got car began firing toward Mr. Brown, Mr. Brown stopped, turned around faced officer. That seems likely Wilson squeezing bunch rounds still inside car. But case, since must delay second two first shot went inside car, Wilson getting car, taking aim Brown, firing again, where’s delay audio? The first six shots basically continuous.

J. Abrams, aurait dit, au cours d’une cérémonie où il reçu un prix de la part du Visual Effects Society (VES) le 4 février, qu’il souhaitait que Disney devance la sortie de son film à cet été. Wow! Nous qui attendions avec impatience la date de lancement officielle, prévue pour le 18 décembre!! Comme vous l’apprenait Métro récemment, les médias sautent souvent sur une nouvelle sans vérifier les informations de bases. Examinons: 1. Tous les articles offrent comme source les sites iKwiz et Moviepilot. 2. iKwiz est un site qui offre des quiz et du contenu léger sous forme de listes. Ce n’est pas un site de nouvelles. 3. Moviepilot base son reportage sur cette vidéo YouTube qui apparaît sur… le site iKwiz. 4. Donc: tous les articles à propos de cette rumeur se basent sur une seule vidéo YouTube, qui, il faut le mentionner, n’a pas été créée par un journaliste. Le vidéaste ne mentionne aucune source pour son information. 5. Voici un article écrit le soir des VES sur la présence de J. J. Abrams. Aucune mention de la date de lancement de Star Wars. 6. Voici une entrevue avec M. Abrams lors des VES. Encore une fois, aucune mention de la date de lancement. 7. Le Twitter officiel de Star Wars réagit le 10 février sur ces rumeurs. On écrit «Maintenez la cible! Seulement 310 jours avant #TheForceAwakens.» La date de lancement originale est donc reconfirmée: 8. Disney studios n’ont toujours pas répondu au courriel que leur lancé l’inspecteur viral, sollicitant une confirmation officielle. Il mettra à jour son article, au cas échéant. Mais, encore plus ridicule: 9. Disney lancera Jurassic World cet été. Est-ce que Disney ressusciterait deux franchises-phares en même temps, séparant ainsi le revenu et l’attention médiatique? Voyons. 10. Disney lance aussi un autre film à gros budget cet été: Ant-Man. Le terrain commence à être pas mal serré pour Disney. 11. On ne peut pas devancer un film de six mois sans causer des problèmes majeurs de logistique, surtout pour un film comme Star Wars, où la myriade de joujoux et autres boîtes à lunch à l’effigie des personnages fait partie prenante du lancement.

In case, means doomsayers happy write Apple Watch worst thing Apple done since building smartphone, taking music industry iTunes, [insert actual bad decision], others go totally opposite direction predict landslide victory Apple’s favor. Trip Chowdhry Global Equities Research falls somewhat latter category. His prediction? That Apple Watch 100,000 apps ready go launches April, 42 million units sold end December. Chowdry’s claim 100,000 apps based attending six Apple Watch-Kit hackathons “the past months.” Although I don’t doubt plenty apps ready go day, I’d frankly shocked it’s close number. By comparison, took iOS App Store 16 months hit 100,000 apps — point seen approximately 2,000,000,000 total downloads. His 42 million prediction bit closer mark, line reports pegging sales likely fall 30-60 million units first year market. While 42 million would fraction number units Apple sells iPhone, would still enough make runaway fastest selling new iOS device history. The iPad, comparison, sold 19.5 million units first year, iPhone moved relatively paltry 5.4 million units. Chowdry thinks Apple Watch go convert virtually every existing iPhone user, noting: “Since Apple Watch extends iPhone functionality provides user convenience ‘Glance’ ‘Notifications’ iPhone User, almost every current iPhone user, 350 million users, also Apple Watch user.” Chowdry also gives us neat way explaining away fact spent upwards $350 Apple Watch non-techy partners. “The $350 price Apple Watch appears non-issue,” writes, since, “On average Apple Watch user 100 Apps installed, one way think consumer getting 100 devices $350 ..i.e. $3.50 per device.” Finally, argues shouldn’t think “killer app” Apple Watch, as: “Different people different killer Applications devices. For games, others social messaging, navigation, music, video, email …and forth. Debating “what killer app device” passe’ – somewhat pre-year-2007 thinking, killer App used “Ringtones”.

He held firm even civil war’s death toll climbed toward 200,000, Syrian government used chemical weapons civilians Islamic State militants strengthened amid chaos. Now Obama must decide whether extremist group’s murder American journalist James Foley, well broader threat group could pose U.S. interests, change cautious calculus. Pressure coming military leaders go Islamic State inside Syria. But must weigh aversion risks could come plunging United States country torn apart intractable internal conflict. White House officials suggested airstrikes Syria option, though officials say specific military proposals yet presented president. “We’re actively considering what’s going necessary deal threat, we’re going restricted borders,” said Ben Rhodes, Obama’s deputy national security adviser. “We’ve shown time there’s counterterrorism threat, we’ll take direct action threat, necessary.” Even Foley’s murder, Obama found far different footing Middle East probably expected sixth year presidency.

In case, means doomsayers happy write Apple Watch worst thing Apple done since building smartphone, taking music industry iTunes, [insert actual bad decision], others go totally opposite direction predict landslide victory Apple’s favor. Trip Chowdhry Global Equities Research falls somewhat latter category. His prediction? That Apple Watch 100,000 apps ready go launches April, 42 million units sold end December. Chowdry’s claim 100,000 apps based attending six Apple Watch-Kit hackathons “the past months.” Although I don’t doubt plenty apps ready go day, I’d frankly shocked it’s close number. By comparison, took iOS App Store 16 months hit 100,000 apps — point seen approximately 2,000,000,000 total downloads. His 42 million prediction bit closer mark, line reports pegging sales likely fall 30-60 million units first year market. While 42 million would fraction number units Apple sells iPhone, would still enough make runaway fastest selling new iOS device history. The iPad, comparison, sold 19.5 million units first year, iPhone moved relatively paltry 5.4 million units. Chowdry thinks Apple Watch go convert virtually every existing iPhone user, noting: “Since Apple Watch extends iPhone functionality provides user convenience ‘Glance’ ‘Notifications’ iPhone User, almost every current iPhone user, 350 million users, also Apple Watch user.” Chowdry also gives us neat way explaining away fact spent upwards $350 Apple Watch non-techy partners. “The $350 price Apple Watch appears non-issue,” writes, since, “On average Apple Watch user 100 Apps installed, one way think consumer getting 100 devices $350 ..i.e. $3.50 per device.” Finally, argues shouldn’t think “killer app” Apple Watch, as: “Different people different killer Applications devices. For games, others social messaging, navigation, music, video, email …and forth. Debating “what killer app device” passe’ – somewhat pre-year-2007 thinking, killer App used “Ringtones”. Thinking Apple Watch Watch perspective also fundamentally flawed: The best Watch market probably 3 App Device – tells time, may Day (Monday, Tuesday etc. ), may also stop watch…thats it! By April 10, 2015, expecting 100,000 Apple Watch Apps AppStore. Currently, average 65 Apps per iPhone. We estimating average Apple Watch 100 Apps per Apple Watch. There single killer app Apple Watch – user set Killer Apps … one way think consumer getting 100 different devices one Apple Watch.” This last point I absolutely agree with. The notion “killer app” VisiCalc Apple II, instance, outdated thinking. To kind mass market device needs be, Apple Watch things people — essentially iPhone currently manages be. We’ll wait bit longer see Chowdry’s figures hold water, there’s doubting enthusiasm.

The NYPD issue violation summonses people caught marijuana — instead putting handcuffs taking precinct. The summonses require people appear court later date pay fine. Few details new policy immediately available, official one city’s five district attorneys offices confirmed BuzzFeed News Monday change “is happening.” The official added “burning marijuana” would still cause arrest, drug public place would not. The NYPD Mayor Bill de Blasio’s office immediately respond requests comment, expected officially announce new policy news conference Monday. Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance​ ​said​ Monday​ supported change two years ago still does. “This policy – diverting thousands cases criminal court – also keep low-level offenders, particularly teens, arrest attendant consequences, including night jail,” said. The new policy, first reported New York Times, would bring sea change way city policed. Misdemeanor-level marijuana possession accounts large percentage city’s arrests, vast majority happen young black Latino men living poor neighborhoods. Some public defenders praised policy. “This huge improvement,” Lisa Schreibersdorf, executive director Brooklyn Defender Services, told BuzzFeed News. “Summonses don’t get fingerprinted. This better people vulnerable collateral consequences, like immigrants.” Still, Schreibersdorf cautioned policy fulfill goal unless NYPD relaxes identification requirements summonses. Immigrants teenagers often carry valid identification, said, often means cannot processed summons. She added policy address root cause problem — namely, police officers New York routinely stop people without probable cause. “Having summonses improvement people already stopped, doesn’t mean stopped first place,” said. “The problem, perspective, stopping people without cause unconstitutional.” Advocates also warned new policy could result increased number arrest warrants, issued people fail show court summons.

When bag leaves pocket, technically entered public view, officer legally arrest charge misdemeanor — even though less decriminalized amount. This broad interpretation “public view” helped low-level marijuana possession become one NYPD’s commonly used arrest charges stop-and-frisks.

Abrams Asked for THE FORCE AWAKENS Release Date to be Moved Up?,"L’inspecteur viral avoue que son petit coeur sauté de joie pendant une micro seconde en voyant cette nouvelle. Comme ont annoncé plusieurs médias (en prenant soin de mettre un point d’interrogation à la fin de leur titre, pour qu’on ne les accuse pas de propager des nouvelles-vidanges), le réalisateur de Star Wars epsiode VII, J. J. Abrams, aurait dit, au cours d’une cérémonie où il reçu un prix de la part du Visual Effects Society (VES) le 4 février, qu’il souhaitait que Disney devance la sortie de son film à cet été. Wow! Nous qui attendions avec impatience la date de lancement officielle, prévue pour le 18 décembre!! Comme vous l’apprenait Métro récemment, les médias sautent souvent sur une nouvelle sans vérifier les informations de bases. Examinons: 1. Tous les articles offrent comme source les sites iKwiz et Moviepilot. 2. iKwiz est un site qui offre des quiz et du contenu léger sous forme de listes. Ce n’est pas un site de nouvelles. 3. Moviepilot base son reportage sur cette vidéo YouTube qui apparaît sur… le site iKwiz. 4. Donc: tous les articles à propos de cette rumeur se basent sur une seule vidéo YouTube, qui, il faut le mentionner, n’a pas été créée par un journaliste. Le vidéaste ne mentionne aucune source pour son information. 5. Voici un article écrit le soir des VES sur la présence de J. J. Abrams. Aucune mention de la date de lancement de Star Wars. 6. Voici une entrevue avec M. Abrams lors des VES. Encore une fois, aucune mention de la date de lancement. 7. Le Twitter officiel de Star Wars réagit le 10 février sur ces rumeurs. On écrit «Maintenez la cible! Seulement 310 jours avant #TheForceAwakens.» La date de lancement originale est donc reconfirmée: 8. Disney studios n’ont toujours pas répondu au courriel que leur lancé l’inspecteur viral, sollicitant une confirmation officielle. Il mettra à jour son article, au cas échéant. Mais, encore plus ridicule: 9. Disney lancera Jurassic World cet été. Est-ce que Disney ressusciterait deux franchises-phares en même temps, séparant ainsi le revenu et l’attention médiatique? Voyons. 10. Disney lance aussi un autre film à gros budget cet été: Ant-Man. Le terrain commence à être pas mal serré pour Disney. 11. On ne peut pas devancer un film de six mois sans causer des problèmes majeurs de logistique, surtout pour un film comme Star Wars, où la myriade de joujoux et autres boîtes à lunch à l’effigie des personnages fait partie prenante du lancement.

Apple critics always roasted company selling products expensive be, frequently use wedge topic criticize buyers. But “18-karat gold” Apple Watch Edition set whole new bar sales price $10,000. The funny thing case Apple perfectly right charging much! Do disagree? Check counterpoint, “The Case Against $10,000 Gold Apple Watch Edition“ Gold Expensive Let’s start little backgrounder gold. Everyone vague sense gold expensive. Even rabid Internet trolls seen banner ads heard news. But people don’t understand expensive even little bit gold is. So good place begin discussion. Update: My calculations wrong! Also, bit “back envelope.” Now readership I realize I go back fix calculations article realistic… Here basic facts: Gold currently sells $1,200 $1,300 per troy ounce $1,000 per troy ounce last five years. 18-karat gold contains 75% pure gold, term regulated law. One ounce 18k gold occupies 1.8 cubic centimeters volume since typical 18-karat gold alloy weighs 16.5 grams per cc. 18-karat gold currently sells $29.11 per gram, $905 per troy ounce, $480 per cc. .25 cc 18k gold enough construct watch buckle .75 cc gets deployant clasp. It takes build watch case, anywhere 1.5 8 cc depending size thickness case. So buckle worth $120-$360 watch case $720 $3800 raw gold. This gold watches generally sell lot $6,000! Gold Watches Expensive Let’s apply watch case. Imagine wanted create rectangular case 42 mm high 36 mm wide 10 mm deep. If solid, would equal 15.12 cc volume. But it’s watch case, leave room movement, dial, case back, etc. So let’s leave 5 mm thickness around, making hollow rectangle. This equals 6.8 cc (42 x 36 x 10 – 32 x 26 x 10). Therefore, raw gold make case hypothetical watch would cost $3,200 writing. A simple 42x36x10 mm rectangle 5 mm thick 18-karat gold would cost $8,300 A simple 42x36x10 mm rectangle 5 mm thick 18-karat gold would cost $3,200 Now let’s consider shape 2 mm thick. That’s 2.9 cc gold, worth $1,400. Pick thickness you’re still looking thousands dollars worth gold. How translate real world? Let’s look retail price watches available stainless steel 18-karat gold. This Cartier Tank MC $15,000 18k gold This Cartier Tank MC $15,000 18k gold The Cartier Tank MC measures 44 mm 34 mm 9.5 mm thick: $15,000 extra (list) 18k gold Cartier Tank MC stainless steel: $7,000 list, $5,800 street Cartier Tank MC 18k pink gold: $22,000 list, $18,200 street The Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Squadra Hometime measures 50.5 mm 34.9 mm 14 mm thick: $14,750 extra (list) 18k gold Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Squadra Hometime stainless steel: $8,550 list, $6,800 street Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Squadra Hometime 18k pink gold: $23,300 list, $18,400 street This list could go on, gist simple: 18-karat gold cases cost lot stainless steel. In fact, it’s pretty much impossible find gold watch $10,000 size manufacturer. Even tiny quartz ladies watches like tiny Chopard Happy Sport Mini sells $11,000! Most bargains commenters pointed either 14-karat less, slim small, long production outdated pricing. Then there’s bracelet. Swap gold bracelet leather strap looking extra $20,000. Adding gold bracelet Jaeger-LeCoultre bumps price $42,900! Certainly quite bit profit luxury watches, one simply cannot deny raw material value gold watch case. And gold market liquid like stocks commodities: There plenty buyers sellers gold, plenty reserves, company, matter strong, expect favorable pricing suppliers. Another reason companies charge much gold watches jewelry hedge volatility. They can’t price near commodity price set price stick year long. So generally price somewhat higher would, even taking consideration rest materials, labor, distribution, profit watch. The Apple Watch Edition Will Cost $10,000 There’s reason I picked two watches comparisons: Both similar size shape 42 mm Apple Watch. The Cartier little smaller Jaeger-LeCoultre little larger, represent traditional watchmaker’s gold-cased square-ish offering space. And cost $20,000, much price going gold case matching buckle. And Jony Ive recently said historic Cartier Tank one inspirations Apple Watch design! Apple would crazy sell Apple Watch Edition $20,000, though. That’s going happen. So they’re likely find ways reduce cost dramatically. First, see, Apple Watch case highly rounded three dimensions. Although questionable esthetic standpoint, reduces amount material required quite lot. Second, Apple Watch large sapphire crystal front back display, sensors, such. Third, interior frame likely made steel aluminum, gold, reduce cost increase commonality aluminum steel versions. Could gold plated? No. Numerous reports state solid gold case. Although Apple apparently used word, “solid” press releases, claim “crafted 18-karat gold” nowhere say plated “gold filled” (the industry term). There laws covering descriptions metal content jewelry Apple cannot break Tiffany could. Apple says Apple Watch start $349 aluminum Sport model, many bloggers reported price steel Apple Watch roughly $1,000. It reasonable assume gold Edition model sell substantially this, many suggesting $4,000 $5,000. But remember price would cover 4 5 ounces gold! Even thin walls steel frame, it’s hard see Apple could make solid 18-karat gold case buckle 42 mm watch 3 ounces gold. Gold soft, Apple claims special gold twice hard “standard gold”. Taking face value, perhaps reduced thickness case commensurately, cutting amount gold half versus standard rectangular watch. This still leaves thousand dollars material value case. The Apple Watch Edition come 38 mm 42 mm sizes, difference 20% terms case volume. So smaller model could sell 20% less still. My prediction 42 mm Apple Watch Edition retail $9,999 38 mm Apple Watch Edition retailing $7,999. This covers cost gold case, internals, manufacturing, sales, profit, yet leave Apple subsidizing world gold market selling discount cheating too-thin plated case. I shocked price $4,999, I suppose it’s possible finagling that’s smaller model. And less that. This $10,000 product This $10,000 product Bonus prediction: Given high price Apple Watch Edition, I predict availability quite limited. Apple likely create special store-within-a-store spaces certain Apple Store locations Edition. I expect open special standalone Apple Edition Boutiques sell Watch Edition, accessories, perhaps future high-end products. Update! Needless say, many people disagree me. And @Gruber Fireballed post, I imagine I’ll hear lots real soon! The gist disagreement lies amount gold needed watch case. I assumed would quite thick (read sturdy) would contain upwards 130 grams 18k gold. Then there’s strap lugs buckle would likely contain another dozen grams. But @GAK_PDX (and others, though visually eloquent) suspects contains much less gold. I think number way low, it’s good lower bound case thin completely hollow. And puts raw gold $849 $29.11 per gram 18k gold. Although admittedly much, much lower estimate, still illustrates point Apple Watch Edition going cheap. And I think he’s way time tell right wrong. Another argument based 2006 analysis gold Rolex watch. Right bat one point gold cost $400/oz written watch includes gold bracelet well, something Apple apparently going Edition. That Rolex case contained 18.5 grams gold alloy, it’s much, much smaller Apple watch it’s circular boot! A 34mm circle 107mm circumference, 42mm Apple Watch 156mm circumference. Use magic math scale Rolex 42mm rectangle we’re 27.75 grams. But case also much thinner since excluded bezel, Apple Watch pretty slab-sided. So probably double safely come $1,615 gold mangled square Rolex case. So lower estimates mine amount value gold. I accept that. But let’s take step back think final price. Even contained less $1,500 gold, much would sell for? Certainly $2,000 $3,000. You still account cost everything else, plus intangibles manufacturing distribution. And profit Apple (and hedge volatility price gold). So we’re back $4,000-$5,000 estimate others made. As Greg Koenig tweeted, Forbes reported, “If anyone thinks Apple charging less $5k Edition, smoking crack.” Regardless total, it’s important realize price gold driver’s seat comes pricing Apple Watch Edition.
