The Register, MarketWatch, and Mashable are reporting an estimated 1 million sales of Apple's wrist augment based on Slice Intelligence's analysis of ereceipt data. Demand has been strong enough to push back deliveries by weeks, and "Apple is set to sell all of its production volume for the first three months".
Putting those figures together, that means Apple could have shifted 1.24 million watches on its first day of preorders on Friday. How does that stack up in Apple history? Back in 2007, it took the company 74 days to sell its one millionth iPhone, and it took two years to get to that milestone with the iPod. [It took Apple 28 days to sell 1 million iPads.]
Apple seems to have underestimated short-term demand for its latest product, and may intend to sell 20 million Apple Watches in the first year of availability.

Or generally somebody to avoid.
The gays who don't live in the Bay Area are pretty fun and not all that obnoxious. However, being a gay who chooses to live in the Bay Area carries mandates not only to own the iWatch (and ensuring everybody around them knows that) but watching MSNBC and spouting it as gospel, all before electing Hillary Clinton for president.
Bay Area gays are one of the most insidious groupings of fifth-columists to infest America.

I doesn't matter who you vote for. President-To-Be-Elected Hillary is already the winner. But don't you just love those fabulous get-togethers at the polling places where you and all your neighbors can pretend you're making a difference.
