    robodude666 got a reaction from Syntaxvgm in Apple watch   
    Apple made some comparisons of the Apple Watch to competitors.
     

    You mean like the all-day battery in the moto 360?
    You mean like the effective 1 day battery life of the samsung gear 2, compared to its advertised 2-6 day life?
    You mean like the ~1 day battery life of the LG G?
    It probably will also be in line with the 1 day of heavy use, or a few days of casual use.
    At least Apple's improved inductive charging by putting a magnet in the charger so it aligns properly, instead of realizing your watch isn't charged because it was two millimeters off of the center with current chargers. Also be happy they didn't go with a stupid clip-on charger like Samsung did for the Gear Live.
     

    You'd be surprised how imprecise watches can be. Yes, Atomic time pieces have existed for many years but at least Apple's advertising the fact that it's accurate. No other smart watch so far has advertised how accurate its timekeeping is.

    VirtualBox is cross-platform and works on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux.
     
    Mac OS X Mavericks and Yosemite are both free, however, they're only free to qualified Mac users who have Mac OS X Snow Leopard (only certain Intel Macs support Snow Leopard) or higher installed. If you quality, Mavericks is just a free download from the Mac App Store within Mac OS X. Luckily, the Apple Store still sells Snow Leopard DVDs for $20; though I think you'd have to buy it online as the local stores don't carry them here.
     
    Running Mac OS X inside of a Virtual Machine is allowed, however, by Apple's EULA that you must agree to, you can only have up to two VMs running Mac OS X, and it has to be running on an Apple-branded computer. i.e. it's unlawful to install Mac OS X in a VM on Windows. I believe there are exceptions to this rule if you have an OS X Developer account, but you can't quote me on that. This is also the same EULA you must agree to that says you can only install Mac OS X on an Apple-branded computer.
     
    As for the free version of Unity, it's also an option. I don't know about Canada, but in the US I would recommend starting an LLC (Limited Liability Company) for the game development company. This way you have clear proof of how much revenue is being made by the entity, and reduce your liability; i.e. you make $100,001 dollars and Unity sues you for lying then your personal assets aren't affected.
     
    I've tried Unity a few times in the past, and personally didn't like it. I prefer something like Cocos2D which allows you to control everything via software instead of a IDE GUI.
