Siri is really into the Apple Watch and aluminum

Add as a preferred source on Google

Siri appears to consider herself a real trendsetter and a bit of an Apple insider. The voice-powered virtual assistant is pretty pumped about the upcoming Apple Watch, and she has some new ways to tell you about just how excited she is.

If you ask Siri what the best watch is, she’ll quite gleefully recommend to you Apple’s own, “hands down.” And now if you ask her what she’s doing, there’s a whole new line of answers centered around the new wearable and, oddly, the metal that makes it possible. It turns out the A.I. assistant is really into aluminum — almost as much as Jony Ive.

The only answer that really got us wondering is the jellyfish one. We asked Siri why she was rounding up jellyfish and she said, “I’ve been wondering that myself.”

However, be warned that if you ask Siri what she’s doing a few too many times, she may retort, “Trying to figure out what you want me to do.” She also can’t tell you what she thinks of the Watch, but she’ll gladly funnel you to Apple’s website.

HTC’s VIVE Eagle smart glasses could finally be heading to the US. Apparently, Amazon got the memo before HTC was ready to share it.

Notebookcheck spotted six versions available for preorder at $499, each carrying a September 1 release date. Amazon has since pulled the pages, so new orders are closed and anyone who already placed one is left wondering whether it still counts.

Don’t expect smartwatches and fitness bands with replaceable batteries anytime soon
Turns out even the EU thinks your smartwatch is too small for a battery swap.
Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

The EU has a habit of pushing tech companies to adopt meaningful changes in their product. It's the reason your iPhone finally has a USB-C port, and it's also why companies now have to offer spare parts and repair support for electronics for several years after launch. So naturally, many of us assumed wearables were next in line for mandatory swappable batteries. Turns out, the EU just went the other way.

So what did the EU announce?
