I have a love/hate relationship with watches.
I love watch designs, but I hate wearing one.
I've always wanted to have a Tissot Touch or a Movado (the new Edge is really nice).
But my wet dream would be to have a Bell & Ross[^] watch, not the big huge "aviator" watches, but one of the "vintage" ones.
I'd rather be phishing!

Waaaaay too much information!
Good watches but they look a little odd to me: a watch should be round, not square!

Wow, you can dock it with an external monitor, keyboard, and mouse.
I want one!

Link? Need a link?
Never mind. I will search for the 950.

Just google/bing it, there are 100s of links.

So said I.
Then I read it is a step down from the 1520 I already have.
|
|
|
|
|
In what way is it a step down?
|
|
|
|
|
They didn't specify and it's a pain in the butt to get complete specs on these things.
But they were talking about the cameras and screen immediately before that, so that may be it.
I don't think the 1520 will run W10, though, so there's that to consider, too.

Based on everything I read so far, these new phones have 6-core CPUs faster than those on any other existing phones. It's possible that the camera may not be as good as that on your model though. I was focusing more on the CPU, memory, performance, and the ability to convert it to a desktop via a docking pad.

|
|
But I need the phone to take high-quality photos of kittehs for posting on the internets, so I have to take that into consideration.
actually, I may switch phones, anyway, when the XL is available. 4K video? Hell, yeah.
|
|
|
|
|
I intend to, too. I have the 920 now, so it's a no-brainer for me

Sorry man. That's already been done. Here at the office we have a "the future of computing" Motorola Atrix LapDock gathering dust.
Although cell phone, laptop and desktop convergence has been the stuff dreams have been made for decades, few people actually have that use case and smartphones still cannot deliver a compelling reason to go laptop less. Even tablets, which could have replaced laptops aren't that hot right now, being replaced by Phablets like the iPhone 6s Plus and Samsung Galaxy Note 6.
Maybe the Microsoft Lumia 950XXXL will change that, but don't count on it.

So, now we know. Shipping the developer edition in Q1 2016 and costs $3000.

Went to check the site - it's all wrong...in all browsers...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Yes. I'm supposed to write the Pluralsight course for it so I'd better get one first
|

Definitely. They do look Alpha at the moment - but hopefully the developer version will give people the chance to put them through their paces and really nail down any issues.

This thread[^] is sparking some debate in the new section, but we should probably do that here, right?
So, the first thing is notice is that I find myself really hating string interpolation with a passion. Anything in a string should be string, not some sneaky variable name. C# is not PHP.
Await in catch/finally sounds great though. In the past I've needed ugly hacks to approximate that.

Well, those strings aren't normal strings when you add the $ prefix... It's syntactic sugar for a more readable string.format.
Haven't used the async/await stuff yet, as I'm still stuck on VS2010 / .NET 4.0 (Sucks to be the only .NET programmer in a Java shop)...
Some of the changes look useful though...
* Static initializers - Very situational, but would help with some of the legacy code I support
* Auto property initializers - Nice
* Dictionary initializers - Uh, ok... But the old method was good enough
* String interpolation - Sure
* nameOf() - Somewhat useful
* Expression-bodied functions - Um, ok... So it's a Func<>, but it looks almost like a method... Meh
* Exception filters - I suppose... But imagine how badly this will be abused by horrible coders
* Await in try/catch - As above, haven't used async/await yet, so dunno
* Null conditional - YES! So many null checks that all do the same damn thing...

Almost - it's a regular method that looks like a lambda function.
