One thing the Apple Watch will never do that an Android Wear device just might do is go on my wrist.

The apple watch does support NFC payments.  That's about the only new thing it does though.  I'm sure at some point someone will make an android wear device with NFC payments though.

Scott Wilson  It is true, there is much more online shopping, but there are still many instances of paying at a brick & mortar site (i.e. starbucks, restaurant, or groceries).  I still use my debit card 1-3 times a day.  I also don't have access to Google Express though, and I'm not sure I'd be willing to pay for same-day delivery of groceries anyways since the grocery store is right down the street.

I don't think NFC payments is a huge feature on a watch, I can easily pull out my phone to pay still, but it is one thing the apple watch can do that android wear doesn't right now.

Scott Wilson I certainly understand that, but I also know there are many people who would prefer/have time/would save money going to the store themselves to pay, so I don't think this is a step backwards, but a very minor step forward for secure payments.

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him. Me asking https://plus.google.com/112885755521259735422/posts/78dwnvvgh4p <==edited to add the correct link Then he plusses me onto Public posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/EuuR1tnU3vJ https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/8r6Grcm2Jpj https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/74PgSu6iL2s Then one of his friends (or Circlers) starts plussing me into posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/107120198886093172821/posts/gRW9JhWLs5T Don't get me wrong, I'm all about sarcasm and messing with people, but this seems sort of childish to me. Am I the only one who thinks so? So far I have only blocked

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
