I am hoping Apple Pay does well and I can make my life easier, however NFC has not broken any adoption records in the US and Apple is not going to change that overnight, suggestions to the contrary are misleading. No one is going to leave their plastic at home, because the one time you need it and your Apple Pay doesn't work you are SOL. Go to your average store and ask about NFC or how to check out the clerks have no clue.
Apple will hasten the adoption that is a given, but it won't be next week or next year, try 2 years for a fully accepted platform. Not every retailer is in love with Apple Pay, say what you will about the "Wal-Mart Crowd" they are the largest retailer in the world and they have a lot of clout, more than Apple.
You underestimate Apple, just as thousands of others have underestimated them with regards to iPod/music industry/smart phone/tablet. Apple Pay is not the pathetic attempt at implementation of NFC in the US. Android and Google royally messed up a potential competitive advantage there. Once Apple Pay picks up steam the Walmarts of the world will follow quickly. It's inevitable. I give it 10 months vs. your 2 year prediction.
Clearly you don't have a clue or know my Apple background so let ME educate you.
Not interested.
Just assume every spiel like that is cut-and-pasted from the Troll Handbook™. I just replace it with: "I've owned five of every Apple product since 1892, but seriously—when are they going to give us a two-button mouse, amirite?"
You're talking about the live stream, which is not the same as the event itself.
Yep my bad. Apple event was flawless. Sorry I tried to watch but it did not work. I only learned now that Apples Pay works online, maybe. This is not well known. I don't think anyone knows the details because they have not disclosed the details. Why are you making excuses for their obviously failed live stream? it was a Fu**ing disaster. J
That's going way too far the other way. It was eventful, and I believe historic for at least ?Pay, but there were plenty of little flaws with the presentation itself.

What excuses am I making for their live stream fiasco?

You can go watch it now if you want. Yes, they had problems. Get over it.

I already decided to buy the new phone. I don't have any need to watch the keynote a day or two later. If they can't deliver the video on time as promised then you have to wonder why they thought that was a good iidea. In my opinion they should have been more realistic and known a world wide live stream was impossible on their network but no, Apple is not subject to the laws of physics. They should have used Akamai but no, they wanted to do it themselves when their capabilities are unproven and untested. Good plan /not

Wow, you just love to complain, don't you? Actually, the problems were traced to human error. But, of course, you don't make mistakes do you?

If you're not understand key aspects of a new service perhaps you should watch it.

1) Clearly they thought they could deliver the live stream properly.
2) I'm not sure how or why the term "on time" is being used when referring to a live stream.

1) There is no "laws of physics" that make it impossible for Apple to offer a live stream.
2) seem to recall that they did use Akamai.
3) You're comment about laws of physics doesn't mesh with your comment about using Akamai.
Bottom line, regardless of this one shitty live stream it doesn't mean that you should disregard ?Pay as a paradigm changing service.

No complaint, just justifying a position that I should not be expected to be knowledgeable of a feature that is not common knowledge primarily due to a technical failure on Apple's part.

And I didn't realize it was an online payment as well as point of sale featue. We will see how it works in the coming months I am sure. I couldn't care less though because I'm probably not going to use it either online or at point of sale, so yeah it is meaningless to me. Still it was a complete fail for the live keynote stream, typical. Makes one wonder if Apple actually understands how the Internet works. I use their platform for everything but it is annoying and embarrassing when they screw up because it makes me look bad, being such an Apple apologist.

You can stream it from their site, download it as a Podcast in 3 different quality ratings, read about it on their website, or read one of thousands of articles on the internet about the service. No one else was able to watch the live stream properly that day either, but the rest of us managed to read live streams from attendees, as well as had weeks now to get up to date on what was presented.

Don't be silly.
Cows are like notes and chickens are like small change.
Nobody would ever exchange a dollar for a dime.
I get the distinct impression that you're not taking this whole cow/chicken barter system thing seriously...

It is for anyone who saw the keynote at any point or is capable of going to Apple.com.
Or, you know, you could watch the keynote or go to Apple.com.
Because you can watch the keynote perfectly now or go to Apple.com to see the information contained therein.
Apparently you do because you’re spewing lies.
There was no time. There was no promise. Keep your fantasies to yourself.
Ah, so you know the capabilities of their network and know that it couldn’t possibly have WHY AM I WASTING MY TIME WITH YOU?
Except they did use Akamai. Once again, you refuse to educate yourself before spouting off about things you don’t comprehend.

How is PayPal going with Samsung a “typical move by Apple”?
Confusing troll rhetoric for logic is your first mistake.
You can stream it from their site, download it as a Podcast in 3 different quality ratings, read about it on their website, or read one of thousands of articles on the internet about the service. No one else was able to watch the live stream properly that day either, but the rest of us managed to read live streams from attendees, as well as had weeks now to get up to date on what was presented.
What?! :???:
Then maybe you should have checked the website after the event.
So quit whining about it.
Except in no way was it typical.
Shut up and go away.

Don't rationalize it.
Apple streams FaceTime, iTunes Radio, iTunes previews, multi-gigabyte 1080p movies to AppleTV, and iTunes Music Match every day.
Only trolls looking for a cheap shot will complain repeatedly about one failed live stream.
What?!
FU don't be obtuse you clearly understand my comment.

Yep Apple are the masters of network srvices. Everyone knows that.
