  • Apple's extortionate upgrade prices can't stop the MacBook Air being a bargain

    (In Canada) - the change in upgrade pricing across the board came as an unpleasant surprise. Example: it was $250 CAD to go from 16GB to 24GB - it's now $300. That change happened on all models.

  • Why Walmart still won't accept Apple Pay

    (As the article says) we've been using Apple Pay to purchase Walmart goods for five years... here in Canada. And I don't think it's limited to in-store purchases... I believe both their online website and their app for iOS (maybe even for Android) also both accept Apple Pay.

    Since 90% of Walmart's products appear to be made in China, I presume China is putting pressure on Walmart to track their users so the Chinese Communist Party can purchase Walmart's user data. ;-)
    That's because Chip and Pin and tap are pretty ubiquitous here in Canada. It's pretty difficult to get the processor to shut tap off (although you can set a limit).

    Tap activated is all that's needed - ApplePay just works.

    Walmart's main concern may be that they aren't covered if it's a stolen card which was tapped - no security (thanks banks) but the store will often still be liable.
