We’re not even going to bother trying to figure out why someone would place a pocket watch on a case intended for a device which has a clock feature, and will instead focus on the more ridiculous issue with this accessory: Its cost.
The pricing—and the availability—of the case remain unannounced, but CrunchGear’s resident watch expert John Biggs speculates that the price tag is bound to be in the thousands.
So, let’s try to guess just how ridiculous the price will be before its announced. I’m going to go with $US8,000. You? [Gentleman's Gadgets via CrunchGear via Technabob via Bornrich]

Tuesday, March 29, 2011 at 4:36 PMReading articles like this makes me realise how Apple-happy Giz really is. I flicked through the first 10 pages or Giz today and found that on average 3/10 articles are on apple-products or 3rd party products designed for apple products.
My question is why? Is there advertising money switching hands behind the scenes?
I would like the believe that Giz produce un-bias articles but it’s becoming increasingly hard for me…

The reason is people keep reading them. Which gives us the stats to take to advertisers to say “look, our audience loves apple” and then they buy ads and we get paid. There’s no conspiracy, it’s just how publishing in the 21st century works.
For the record, the US guys do it a lot more than we do it locally.
