    Not only will millions of people acquire this card, but it will be the card that they actually use. This is not a secondary card; it's a primary. I don't know if the other card companies are publicly traded, but it might be a good time to sell their stock short.

    Citigroup
    JPMorganChase
    American Express
    Capital One

    (thats in order of card holder numbers)


    Truthfully, Goldman is waaaaay late to the game & had to team with someone like Apple in order to gain any amount of traction in the market.

    My Chase card has been EMV chip for almost a 8 years, NFC for 2 years. 
    My Citi card has been chip for a decade.

    The US is just incredibly slow to adoption - Visa & Mastercard have been rolling out biometric cards for 1-2 years in the rest of the world. Just like EMV chip having a decade head start in Europe over the US.

    Hopefully DMG files will be on the list for iPad os to open...
    Wait.
    You mean Apple's own operating system cannot open a normal Apple file format?

    ...checks...

    Well... it didn't help his persona for carrying a loaded pistol in his car.  Seriously.  Sure, I get that THC/Pot is legal in many states now, but considering this guy's track record for getting himself in trouble with the law he should have learned something by now.
    Did you see how there was no handgun charge, so that means the firearm was legal.

    The charge was having a handgun while committing a felony (possession of marijuana)

    Windows is frustrating, nuff said.
    How does an Apple Disk Image file, aka .DMG, not being able to open natively on Windows make Windows frustrating?

    The reliance on third party utilities for simple zipping was hugely frustrating, but Windows 8.1 & 10 finally addressed that...
