  • Retailer Target pins missed financial goals on lackluster Apple device sales

    You know why Target got kicked in the nuts?  NO PAY!  And I don't just mean for purchasing the Apple product either. 

    Ive actually been in line behind people who unloaded their entire cart on to the conveyer belt. Then try to use Pay. The sales register person says "we don't take that" and they walk out leaving everything on the conveyor belt. They have to call a manager to clear it.. And not just once has this happened. Now when I get in line behind a big order I remind them "Target doesn't take Pay". they thank me. Oh they still walk out leaving their stuff basket but at least they didn't unpack it. 

    All the credit cards I have give back 5% when buying apple purchases BUT it has to be run through Pay. So why would you buy Apple through target and get double screwed?  We only shop there because their card gives 5% when using their card 
    I like Apple Pay, but I cannot imagine it being such a big pull that a person would leave their entire cart behind. They don't have any cards in their wallet?

    what nonsense. target is a household goods store, you get clothes, cleaning supplies, maybe some food, and household goods. they're not an electronics store and counting on it to be would be folly. 

    now take NFC payments like Apple Pay already. 
    Side note: Target just partnered with CVS to handle their pharmacy. And of course CVS has their crappy CVS Pay competitor. I would not expect Target to be into Apple Pay anytime soon.

    eBay is your friend, for when your memory is having a Trump moment.
    Yeah, I've seen a few t shirts that are being sold at places like Ebay.

    I would prefer to get one because I was actually there in person, and not just bought it from some random person online.

    As for having a Trump moment, rumor has it that Hillary may have parkinson's, very serious. There's a mysterious handler always close to her, holding some sort of medical device or a shot in their hands, ready to be used at a moments notice.
    There's something funny with her. I think the YouTube clips here speak for themselves: http://www.dangerandplay.com/2016/08/06/hillary-clinton-stroke-seizure-coughing-fits/

  • FaceTime video chat competitor Google Duo released for iOS, Android

    That "pre-call viewing" / knock-knock video stream is just dumb. It's basically not fair, if that makes sense. Until both parties agree to chat, no one should be visible. It is just weird to have one party able to sit there and "spy" on the call-initiating party. I think that in that way it is kind of creepy. It was a bizarre decision that I think Google made solely as a way to differentiate, not as a way to improve on video calling.

    How many messaging apps does Google support now? Like 16? Its like they introduce 2 more every month.
    Yeah it doesn't seem to make a lot of sense. Not sure if Google intends for this to replace the similar Hangouts video chat but if not then I've no idea why Duo is needed. 
    Google has no idea either. To a bunch of engineers, it's fine to make a bunch of similar services. To everyone else, it is confusing.
