AutoSleep app does a decent job of retrofiting sleep tracking into the apple watch. With a data lockin, I have an Aria scale, and Sync Solver is good at extracting Fitbit data into the HealthKit.

Really, they let me upgrade from 3G to 3GS to 4. And I waited to get 3G few month after it originally came out.
See this article on from 2009: http://news.cnet.com/8301-13579_3-10266781-37.html
update: Based on my recollection, with 3G and 3GS, AT&T only asked for 1 year contract, not two. When new iPhone was released, sometime in June or July, anybody with contact renewal through October was marked as elegible to sign new contract, and received contract pricing on the newly released model if iPhone.

AT&T has consistently let it's best customers upgrade to new iPhone releases without enforcing the contract -- charging subsidized prices to upgrade to newer iPhone models. Will Sprint and Verizon done the same, or is switching to Sprint now will commit one to sit out next iPhone?

Think Sprint may still be able to sell that big chunk of phones they committed themselves to. I can definitely see going back to Sprint, if they get reasonable roaming deals, particularly on international data.

I appreciate you creating simplenote.el.
I understand disagreeing with direction platform taken, particularly if you are personally unable to take advantage of it.
As far as forking, would you consider merging in tag support into your version, if someone were to send you a patch?

I use https://github.com/cefstat/simplenote.el to synchronize with simplenote service and on mobile device and Notational Velocity.
Deft seems little more refined, and simplenote.el has not been updated for a while, but would be nice if it synced with simplenote.

That's actually fairly easy. Host should declare coverage limits. Does not make sense to artificially lower the limits, since insurance will not pay for what's not declared. Thinking somewhat similar to insurance that FedEx and UPS are happy to sell.
Re:OS X Lion Now Available in the US Mac App Store
on Wednesday July 20, 2011 @12:39PM (#2786370)
Can't say, I am recent OS X convert. Took me a second to figure out why all the stuff I installed with brew stopped working. Turned out git somehow got uninstalled/disabled, and brew relies on being able to find gcc in the path, and it was no longer there. Updated to newer XCode to get gcc back, and all is happy.

What is worth mentioning, if you had an earlier version of XCode installed, upgrade to Lion breaks it.
