Why not there are so many on the market now.

If MS wants to get in they need to whore themselves to all of the current apps. When I am looking at bands I look at who is compatible with the apps I currently use. My bought my wife a FitBit Up24 because it was compatible with MyFitnessPal, Withings scales and runkeeper.

I am not sold on the Samsung Gear or any of the others unless they are compatible with the market leading apps.

I read the transcript. It is pretty obvious he wasn't saying women specifically should not ask for raises. He was speaking about all employees. He said if you do good work, it will be recognized. Performance-based raises.

But a lot of net trolls have jumped on that bandwagon anyway.
