After several hours and now a second failure with an aborted download, I guess it's time to put this off for a day or two and do something useful instead. At this rate, the download time will exceed my current life expectancy. Time to have a nice …

Perhaps Apple is testing out just one of the new Apple Silicon Mac Minis as the sole server to handle distribution of this update for the entire world? Almost makes one nostalgic for the days of dial-up modems. I don't remember even them being quit…

I have been using Apple Pay at COSTCO in Canada for a couple of years. Just paid for $190 worth of stuff this morning at my local COSTCO with my Apple Watch and a non-COSTCO Master Card. Most companies with US head-offices do not offer Apple Pay …

AirParrot has issued an update that is compatible with tvOS 10.2. It works OK for my setup.

At last! Once a few banks, especially big ones like CIBC implement this, most of the others will quite quickly want to jump on the wagon too. Not surprised Canadian Tire is one of the first group after Amex. They are a very aggressively competitive…

I know not everyone is pleased with being a Telus customer, but I have had consistently good service from them for years, so I am cautiously optimistic about the new hire at Apple Canada. In the meantime, I very much enjoy being able to use Apple Pa…

As soon as the "big" banks (and there are not so many of them in Canada) realise that they are losing business to Amex, I think they will see the sense of signing up. They will also, I think, warm to the fact that Apple Pay is the most secure paymen…

Having been able to use Apple Pay on numerous occasions here in the Greater Toronto area, I must respectfully disagree that "Apple Pay really doesn't exist up here at all". Almost any vendor accepting American Express and having a tap-to-pay machine…

Prof Peabody posted: "There is not one single bank in Canada that is "on board" with Apple pay. Not one." That's true at the moment - but the manager of my (Canadian chartered) bank was rather interested when I told him I would probably not be usi…

I think that "90% of retailers in Canada" is a bit of an exaggeration, but it is indeed surprising how many places here in Canada actually accept Apple Pay - even with only one issuing bank, American Express, supporting it. Chip-and-pin terminals ar…

There may be about 29 "Canadian" banks and credit unions, but there are hundreds of banks operating in Canada. The post I responded to contained the statement "I think we have 29 banks and credit unions combined in Canada." The important goal for …

There are hundreds of banks here in Canada. But there are only a few that are responsible for the vast majority of banking. http://www.osfi-bsif.gc.ca/Eng/wt-ow/Pages/wwr-er.aspx?sAll=1

This reminds me of an ironically amusing incident. I was on a flight returning from Paris last October, and once the plane was on the ground and within cell tower range, I texted an update to my friend who was picking me up from the airport. I typ…

While I am encouraged to learn that ApplePay might work for US customers travelling in Canada, it is far more important to me that I be able, as a Canadian citizen, to use the service here, in the US, and eventually Europe. US customers have bee…

I don't want to judge - I am merely trying to point out an impression that danielsw's post creates, - but his disavowance of either "endorsement" or "condemnation" sounds much like the covertly racist statement that some make when they say they ha…

This sort of thing can't come too soon. I had one of my cards compromised while vacationing in Florida - 2000 km from home. As far as I can figure out, on one occasion when I paid for a meal in a restaurant, the card was taken to the card machine at…

danielsw: Why not simply accept other people as they are. Your "endorsement" or "condemnation" represent extremes of moralistic attitude that blatantly imply that people need to be "endorsed" or "condemned", presumably by you, rather than simply ac…
