  • Samsung issues global recall of Galaxy Note 7, replacement program announced

    Well at least they did not copy Apple battery. Did it all on their own. They should at least be proud of that.

  • Tim Cook responds to $14.5B EU tax bill with open letter, says decision will be reversed

    TempletonTempleton
    EU will never change. Old men in Brussels rewriting history and sucking the life out of progress. Brits were right in dumping these old farts.

  • Tim Cook says AI & augmented reality are core technologies in Apple's future

    Right in their wheelhouse. Don't forget Apple does not invent but perfects. iPod, iPhone. iPad.

  • CVS continues Apple Pay snub, launches barcode-based 'CVS Pay'

    My insurance company also uses CVS/caremark but there aren't any stores within an hour of me so I can use whatever local pharmacy I want. Costco or Walgreen's (has taken ApplePay for a long time) is what I use although I also use caremark mail order for most of our maintenance drugs. 

    As for CVS, they took over a lot of the old Long's Drug Stores and turned them into ugly mini Walmart stores. It doesn't surprise me they're trying to roll their own and I can't wait for someone at BlackHat to show how vulnerable their system is. The crazy thing about all these me-to systems is they aren't needed. Get a good POS system with a good credit card system and you're ready to accept ApplePay and any other NFC system. It doesn't take any programming on the merchants part because all the programming is already done in the card reader. I'm seeing more small merchants accept Apple Pay, which excites me. When I visited California a couple months ago, almost every store I went to accepted ApplePay. I haven't seen anyone use one of the other one-off systems.

    Made a lot of money as owned Longs stock. But when CVS would not loan me a few pills needed for a trip I switched to local independent pharmacy. They were afraid I would die and they would be out 5 pills. Emmis.

    I moved my pharm acct to local ( non chain) pharmacy from CVS. They deliver to my door and know my name when I walk in. Love the service and knowledge.
