Wearable manufacturers are at war for your wrist. The prize is device domination of that coveted chunk of flesh between your our hand and forearm.

Posted by randfishIt's that magical time where, once again, I examine my predictions for the year that's just ended, and make new ones for the one ahead. As is my personal tradition, I'm going to first look at the accuracy of what I've suggested would happen in 2015.
