Rdio shutting down, and Pandora will buy its technology

This is a bummer. I really liked Rdio, but Spotify ended up interacting directly with apps like RunKeeper that I use all the time, so I switched. I imagine Apple Music helped speed Rdio’s collapse.

Scott Kelby is Dumping My Apple Watch

Here’s the breakdown:

* Apple wants you to charge your watch at night.

* Apple wants you to charge your watch *every* night.

* Scott didn’t like to watch his watch at night, every night.

* Scott’s watch couldn’t make it through the day.

This doesn’t mean that the watch is a “bad” product, or that Scott isn’t “using his watch right”, but it does mean that the Apple Watch isn’t for him.
