  3. Comment - AmEx Offering Swipeless Credit Cards

    (Jun 7, 2005 - 9:03 PM)

    No no no no... It's bad. Simple as that. Swipe cards are good enough. This is the human-lazy equivelant of people putting shortcuts to shortcuts on their desktops to get 2 clicks down to one. And, of course, one day someone will find a way to crack the system by scanning your a** as you walk by... that would just be a matter of time (and it would literally be "crack"ing the system...oh man, I kill me!... but seriously folks)...

    How much faster do we need to verify credit cards? Upgrade the credit card infrastructure in order to go from 4 seconds to .5 second card approvals if you want speed. This really just seems a ploy to get people to spend more money by taking advantage of people's (women's) impulse (shoe) buying habits. Also, and I mean this Big Brother, make the RFID credit cards for the suckers if you want, but the day you make me carry an RFID driver's license... I'm moving to Canada. (idle threat)

    EXACTLY. Even if I had say a piece of paper that I touched and decided to put it on the market for 1 million dollars because it was graced by my hand and someone stole it... I'd be pissed, right?

  5. Comment - AIM Update Adds Bundled AOL Browser

    (May 4, 2005 - 4:23 PM)

    Unbelievable. Or actually, better yet, this is very believable for AIM. AOL has always been the pushy type. Same with Quicktime and all the others. The fella before me said it best when he spoke of the 1% of the 1% that fiends for these things. The "blind users" as we call them. They click, click, install (sometimes unknowingly), and then call us to fix their shat. HA! AOL is making millions for the tech industry. I'll take my share. "Ma'am, that'll be 75 dollars for the call. Your computer runs great now. See ya next week, you indiscriminate clicking towny."

    Joke, but almost not. :)
