Apple Watch Edition gets its first unboxing

See full gallery on TechnoBuffalo

What’s the first thing someone who buys an Apple Watch does? Show it off, of course. That goes especially for those who purchased an Apple Watch Edition. Because why else would you buy a gold watch if not to flaunt your extravagant wealth?

Those who can afford the lofty $10,000 sum are part of a very exclusive club. And you know what? You should be proud—your smartwatch is functionally no different from one that costs only $349, but at least it’s made up of 18-karat gold, a metal that has an the inexplicable power to hypnotize.

Some (lucky?) person who isn’t a celebrity got their hands on the Apple Watch Edition, and thought it fitting to unbox the thing on video. What’s notable is that Apple is showering undue partiality toward these customers, treating them like the royalty they are.

Inside the non-descript white box, these customers not only get their first generation smartwatch, but a fancy leather box to put it in, a special cleaning cloth, and even a booklet explaining how the watch was made. Even if it doesn’t perform any different from the cheaper models, you can at least take pride in knowing that your expensive gadget was made with the utmost care.

Additionally, Edition buyers get a different gold boot-up screen to stare at, as if to further accentuate just how exceptional wealthy people are. Your and my eyes are undeserving of such excess, therefore we don’t get the benefits of fancy boot-up screens and indulgent pamphlets. Just the type of perks a person gets for buying a $10,000 wearable. I hope it was worth it.

The Space Gray models looks better.

Exec behind “Next Big Thing” campaign has departed Samsung

Samsung Mobile CMO, Todd Pendleton, has reportedly departed the company, according to CNET . Pendleton is credited with creating Samsung’s famous “Next Big Thing” campaign, which took aim at the company’s rivals while highlighting the benefits of its own mobile lineup. The ads were smart, terse, and ultimately helped raise the awareness of Samsung’s brand as a major smartphone maker here in the U.S. It’s unclear why Pendleton left, but it’s being reported that Samsung executives became dissatisfied with the campaign’s recent success, even going so far as auditing the mobile division’s Dallas headquarters. It seems you can only use the Next Big Thing tagline so many times; the commercials have taken a decidedly different turn over the past few months, focusing on design, functionality and features rather than bashing Samsung competitors. The timing, I suppose, seems appropriate given that Samsung has just unveiled two new flagships, the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge. Samsung is clearly ...

Mad Max meets Mario Kart is just bloody brilliant

How is this for a clever mash-up?  sundbergkr ‘s Mario Kart: Fury Road parody trailer mashes up the worlds of Mad Max and Mario Kart to epic results in this wonderful parody of the film’s trailer. What’s really special about this mash-up is that it isn’t entirely overdone. The Mario references are brief, subtle, and appear just long enough for you to appreciate them before waiting eagerly for the next one. Without a doubt the giant Chomp is the most laugh out loud moment, but the creators also slip in some perfectly timed and inappropriate voice clips during the violent action. I still haven’t seen Mad Max: Fury Road , due it not coming out in Japan until June 20, but I had purposely avoided the trailers to not get any spoilers. Now, thanks to Mario, June 20 can’t come fast enough! Source : Via : Destructoid from TechnoBuffalo http://ift.tt/1AvRv58

The Sega Saturn hit shelves 20 years ago today

20 years ago today, one of the weirdest consoles we’ve seen hit the market: The Sega Saturn. Looking at the image above, if you haven’t seen the Saturn before, it might not look that weird at a glance – disc tray, six buttons on the controller, black plastic. Nothing too bizarre there. It’s how Sega got to the Saturn that’s strange. Sega was riding high on the wild success of the Sega Genesis at the time. Sega of America had taken the Mega Drive, renamed Genesis in the United States, from a tiny also-ran to an equal player against the Super Nintendo. Sega was, of course, looking for the next big thing. Sega of America’s president Tom Kalinske courted Sony Interactive Entertainment’s Olaf Olafsson first, almost reaching a deal to cooperate on a new console. That fell through, just as Sony’s negotiations with Nintendo had before that. When Kalinkse brought the idea to the board at Sega of Japan, they weren’t interested in working with the guys who make Walkman stereos (kids, ask your...
