yo who shops at disney man?
You're obviously not a businessman, or you'd not have to ask such a silly question...
LOTS OF PEOPLE, is who, and probably most of whom don't prefix normal English language with "yo".
You for real? Haha

I'm hoping Apple's implementation addresses a few of the limitations that the Google Wallet implementation has. For making purchases, it will probably work similarly.NFC payments on Android already work at Walgreens, CVS, Macy's, Mcdonalds..7-11..pretty much anywhere where you can tap and pay.
Google allows you to add any credit card you wish as a payment method, and also allows banks to add their own implementation for their account holders. My understanding is that it is more popular oversea's where NFC readers are more prominent. Companies in the USA will be moving to terminals with NFC readers in the next couple years.
So far I'm thinking Apple's implementation will be pretty similar to Google's. Apple just waited till NFC readers were going to become more common place. My gut is also telling me that Apple is trying to allow their ipads to act as terminals where they take a cut as the merchant.
It's kind of funny - Apple will announce NFC payments and then Android users are going to find out they already had the feature but it just wasn't marketed to them.
I'm glad someone "cares"... awww, how sweet![]()
I know lots of people with Android phones in the US... but I've never seen or heard of a single one of them use their Android phone to pay.
Is it just a marketing problem?
Lots of phones have had NFC chips for years... Google has Google Wallet... so how come the final step is basically unknown?
It's like a jigsaw puzzle that no one knows how to assemble.
What if these partnerships with various stores are actually to get EMV/chip support there before launch? I really doubt Apple is going to use the US only NFC implementation when the liability shift for merchants is about a year from now and everyone's going to be replacing their equipment anyway.
I've used Google Wallet a few times. It's still faster to swipe than to:
- Pull my phone out of my wallet.
- Unlock phone (required for NFC to work).
- Put phone on NFC reader.
I'd definitely use it more often if Wallet worked on Android Wear. It'd require Android watch manufacturers to include NFC on the watch itself though.
What about pull iPhone 6 out and double/triple click power key to activate NFC? Then all credit cards show up on the screen, and you just pick one to pay with finger print of course.
I wish us Brits could get BBC on our Apple TVs Though it's not offered because the Beeb don't like that it's limited to Apple Devices.
Yeah, that's why they made it 2 hours.

I'm guessing it works much faster with Touch ID. I know unlocking is. It's pretty much an afterthought when I "open" my phone.
Also, the use of Touch ID should make it way more secure than the decades-old magnetic strip technology. I'm always amused when I have to still sign credit card slips as if that somehow means "Oh, now it's all official." I bought my MacBook Air online without signing a piece of paper. I'm all for whatever makes transactions more secure because I've heard horror stories about identity theft.
Disney, huh? And I thought Nordstrom wasn't useful...
You see, when it was just signatures, we were protected against fraud due to theft of our card or account number. So even though we were legally liable up to $50, in real life we usually don't get charged at all (if you report it right away).
So chip and pin is the chosen solution.
We're probably still going to be signing for a long time yet. Every major bank is deciding against putting a PIN on chip cards issued in the US. TouchID may be our best shot at an alternative to signature.
The Fry "SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY" picture will have to be updated. Cash will be obsolete.
I hope Apple lets you pay with your actual card using NFC, rather than using a "virtual" card, and then paying off your balance with your actual card.
In order for Google to be able to bill your credit card, your credit card info has to be store in Google's servers.
That's kind of the point of radio though; get you hooked to a few songs based on repetition. Pandora does the same thing. But it'll change over time.
Have you tried changing your radio station settings? There are 3 modes you can set it to: hits, variety or discovery. Choosing the last option should help with the repetition.
Also, you can try setting up several stations based on your favorite 80's bands which will give you more variety.
That's a good point, but a big chunk of that real estate under big white (love that name) is that water area. The only counterpoint I have is that the calendar is on the web site for billions to look at, yet the number of attendees is around 2500.Lame reason given that you don't need a device to operate an Apple TV. the STB is a free standing device on its own. Whereas they did authorize iPlayer for Chromecast which does require a second device to operate (or at least did at the time that this decision was made).
----------
It could also be why Big White exists. With so much to talk about they aren't likely to do tons of demos. So give them a grand hall of sorts where they can experience them hands on and thus still write 50 articles about all of it. Based on the talk about how big the area is there should be plenty of room for tables of iPhones, iPads, iWatches, an area to play inside a fake house, gym and even store.
Bets on how long it will be before anywhere outside the US would get this....
Sometimes I feel like I live in Elbonia...
In Australia (aka the "Jail" for all you UK folks, NFC enabled credit cards have been here for the last 2 years.
We can use NFC "(industry calls is "Pay Wave") for transactions up to $100 without a PIN. If you NFC for a transaction over $100 the payment terminal will ask for your PIN.
One bank here has been promoting NFC payments by offering a 5% rebate EVERY TIME you use NFC (up to $100 per transaction). So I spend $99.99 I get $5 back in my account.
Almost all Aussies have come to accept NFC payments.
Yeah, we have contactless cards here in the UK too and the upper purchase limit is always £20, I think.
I think it's hilarious how many Fanboys who Poo Poo's the idea of NFC in favor of getting on their knees to iBeacon are now changing their tune.
AND !!!! Acting like their previous comments on MacRumors didn't happen !
Like an Apple Fanatic can never be wrong![]()

Signatures have nothing to do with it. Your signature isn't what is protecting you as the card holder. The processor's insurance is what protects you. ...
I am very excited about any new technology that gives me a new, easier, more secure payment method for spending money I don't have.
