Security News, Windows speed-up tip, The Apple Watch
and Fitbit Sense - Two New Medical Apps Explained,
<snip>

I read that Avast article with interest, having used the FitBit for some time, I never gave them any information, but I found it to be more hassle than it was worth.  But more so its total inaccurate in calculating my pulse whilst out walking/jogging.

As a side note you had a hidden link spammer join your topic, I found this very interesting (or words to that effect), but he didn't last very long before being culled.

I'm sure the accuracy will improve with time. About the spammer, I noticed that "Chreey" wasn't around for too long.
