[ExI] smartwatch update

[William Flynn Wallace]

Dave, I am about as open a person as you can find.  Big Brother can know
anything they want to about me - how I vote, what I buy, just anything.  I
have nothing to hide (well, a little drug use here and there, but that's
too many people to arrest).   I am not going to wear the thing to bed, so
it makes sense to me to turn it off. Samsung conditioned me:  if I leave my
Galaxy on the battery will run down in a little over a day.  Maybe my new
iPhone when it comes out will change my mind.  bill w
