    Did you know there are games for Apple Watch? My favorite: launching any app and seeing if anything other than a spinner appears on screen.

        @gruber Oh, is it time for your semi-annual, semi-critical post about an Apple product that you've gushed about previously?

        @cabel That’s the first level of the game. Second level is waking screen to see if anything happened.

        @gruber Clicker does nothing besides read a number from local storage and put it into a UI. It takes 4-6 seconds to launch.

        @chockenberry I know you kept Clicker deliberately simple, but I’ve seen it time out on launch.
