  • iOS 11's Apple Pay Cash setup may require scanning personal ID

    Maybe there's a sale on tinfoil hats?

    If this replaces Venmo for me, I'm game.  I'll trust Apple to handle security any day compared to what the competitors have.  While no one knows, I don't see any reason that Apple would essentially force you to use it.  Chill.
    As someone who has had their Identity stolen I really don't want to wish it on anyone. I won't go into details but the start of my grief came from a payment to another person. Now 4 years later, I have got it sorted out. Yes, I use Apple Pay but allowing it to make payments to other people is IMHO not good. If I want to make a payment to another person from my bank then I'll do it in other ways.     

    Should just lock your credit report with the credit bureaus. It's free to do, and only costs $5 a pop if you want to unlock them. If you do this it's very hard for anyone to get very far with identity theft. It's also a lot cheaper than life lock or whatever monitoring services there are.

  • Editorial: Apple survived 2016's onslaught of fake news and failed competitors

    Good piece. I think Apple's threats are not so much in the technology or media realm, but political. It will be interesting to see how Apple deals with the political hoops in China, US and India.

  • Apple, Google, Uber vow not to take part in Muslim registry

    Cook better be very careful with his dealings in China. China has already asked for backdoors, and I could see them asking for a similar database on the muslim uighurs. If he bends in China and Trump notices, it will not end well.
