  • Apple disputes claims of iOS 'vulnerability' to brute force passcode hack

    Kind of confusing. Is Apple suggesting that the guy is lying? Or was he, in fact, able to break into the phone; or not?
    Which is it?

  • Apple Pay 'fast lanes,' exclusive deals pop up at prominent summer festivals

    Check this out:
    My local coffee joint switched to Square about a year ago, but I was sadly disappointed that they didn't get the service with the ApplePay / NFC unit.
    Couple of days ago I walk in, and there is the NFC reader sitting next to the register, and a nice big plexiglass advertisement stand "Pay accepted here".   I'm thrilled. "Yay! Finally!!" I tell the guy as he draws my coffee. "Yeah" he says. "Apple came by and hit every business on the block".
    As I was pulling out my phone I notice on the other side of the register, is the same plexiglass advertisement stand, only this one has an ad in it that reads "15% off when using Pay".   I squealed like a little girl.
    It seems like Apple may FINALLY be stepping up their retailer focus for ApplePay. It's really about time. If I read about one more bank / credit card institution signing on (ZZzzzz), I was going to scream.
