ComputerWorld:

There are a variety of enterprise-related systems using Apple Watch location, collaboration and messaging, and (in some cases) activity sensors to help their business grow.

Enterprises including Capital One, SAP, Salesforce and IBM all provide quick to access collaboration and information management tools for the device.

The latter provides watchOS apps for hospitals, law enforcement, public safety and field service engineers.

In each case, enterprises secure efficiency and productivity benefits by ensuring workers have near immediate access to the information they need to get things done.

The article is an advertisement for the Apple Watch, but it is an opportunity to consider if there is any business case for smart watches. Is there one, or will smart watches always be a solution in search of a problem?

    Posers use it everywhere.

    Too bad Apple has lost its mojo and will be going downhill for some time now. China has spoken.

    Examinees will be required to strip naked then pass through a back-scatter X-Ray before entering the exam room.

    No word yet as to whether condoms will be provided, though in certain countries, this will lead to a resurgence in the popularity of singing castratro.

    Cheaters use it to be alerted to when their partner might find them cheating.
