    Really looking forward to the wisdom of the EU killing g MagSafe… that will be wonderful for the consumer. (Sarcasm heavy)

  • Apple's Self Repair Program toolkit - Hands on with what's inside

    I manage the iPads at our school and have done a lot of display replacementS. I will definitely be using these if they have something similar for iPads. One week a year being repair week with these nice tools would be amazing!

    How do Starbucks payments work, does the app display a barcode or QR code or something?
    To add to that question, if someone had a compatible iPhone why would they use the Starbucks app at Starbucks when they could use Apple Pay instead? Is it easier? I don't know but doesn't using the app require that you "reload" the virtual card every so often?

    Guess the Americans should travel to China and other parts of Asia where mobile payment is a norm.
    Customers, especially older ones, think Apple Pay is a gimmick designed to steal their money. 
    I can't tell you how many people have told me they thought using Apple Pay would require them to pay more for whatever they were buying. The other excuse I have heard against using Apple Pay is that it's "too easy" and would thus lead the user to spend more money.
    To answer, the app displays a barcode, yes. And the have special scanners that make it quite easy, but the main reason I use it is that they don’t accept Apple Pay in the store. They do through the app, though. So I load my Starbucks card with Apple Pay, and use it in the store.

  • Review: Putting Dr. Mario World for iOS under examination

    You have to get past level 20 for the puzzles to be un-boring. I’m at level 26 or something. It’s been fun and more challenging after level 20. They can try to coerce all they want. Just make up your mind not to spend money and then don’t. It’s not u bearable without money (so far).
