flop ya mac out

Come Christmas of 2013, we may be delving into our Santa sacs and pulling out an entirely new (and completely revolutionary) toy from Apple Inc.

Rumours of a device (being dub-stepped the iWatch) are coming out thick and fast, just like father’s creamy sauce he used to make for our roast dinners, each Sunday night. Mmm!

Macrumors posted details of a newly-submitted Apple patent in their article, New Apple ‘iWatch’ Patent Application Reveals Slap Bracelet with Wraparound Touch-Sensitive Display. What a freakin’ long title; and that’s after being edited down by Perry White.

I’m looking into my crystal ball… And i see that you’re currently using a computer, and you have an email account… Yes, i can see that clearly now. It might be a work account, it might be personal.
