The mobile ordering is a recent addition to the Starbucks app. I've been using it for payment for years -- mostly due to their rewards program, though that is available with a card too.

I currently pay with Apple Pay for two reasons. Security and Discover double cash back. Definitely not convenience. I always end up screwing up the double tap to pull up the cards and people give me looks because I'm holding up the

My employer blocks this blog as well. Not sure if they just decided to block *.netflix.com or what.

Same here, but as I listened to more samples, I started hearing the noise throughout the sample, a swishing sound mixed in with the music. $25 headphones here (Sennheiser HD202).

I wanted to ask this same question. I know the public market is very important to our economy, but I feel like for so many companies, going public optimizes them for the wrong things.

Some payment network providers do provide electronic signature storage as a service for this purpose.

Agreed. The simplest way I've heard it described is that whoever has the lowest level of EMV support is liable. So if the bank hasn't issued you a chip card, but the retailer supports it, the bank is liable. Likewise, if you ha

Most retailers started with the hardware upgrade, which generally has to be followed up by a software upgrade to enable the processing of an EMV transaction. Depending on the level of integration with the payment network, the software chan

The machines (and/or PoS software) are smart enough to know if the card that was swiped contains a chip (it is in the track data on the magnetic stripe). But if the card reader lacks the chip reader, it obviously won't reject the

I've actually found more mom-and-pop type places have upgraded than big box stores. The first place I was able to use Google Wallet with my Android phone was a locally owned grocery store. The first EMV transaction I performed outsid

Ironically, my little C720 Chromebook running Chrome OS with 2GB of ram browses pretty decently as well. But it also only has 1366x768 of screen real estate to worry about...

I have a very similar model, the AC68P, and the only times I've had to reboot it since it was installed in March was for configuration changes, and that was through the web interface. Next time try rebooting your cable modem instead,

The design reminds me of something between a Mac Pro, Amazon Echo, and D-Link's "cloud" routers.

That's about what I paid for my ASUS RT-AC68P. I went through a couple different sub-$100 routers (Belkin and Linksys) before settling on this one. I've not yet had to reboot it for any reason other than configuration changes, s

I've seen them tied to the side of existing buildings, and even masquerading as a tree :) Something I've noticed is that it seems the denser the population, the lower the towers are.

I live in a small suburb in Ohio, so I took the kids (5 and 8) out back around 11pm last night and we threw out a blanket to watch. We saw a dozen or more, with 3 or 4 of them being good across-the-sky ones. Definitely one of those moments

Does anyone know of anything like Little Snitch or ZoneAlarm for Linux? I miss the program-level firewall capabilities of these programs when I'm on Linux.

Yes, just after paying at the toll booth. I am about 99% sure that I used my turn signal, as it is a huge pet peeve of mine, but there is always a chance that I did actually forget, or that I didn't get the lever all the way down. Th

I work for a large (30K employees) company that does something similar. For each job title, there is a salary and bonus range. So from someone's title in Outlook, you can pretty much guess their salary within 10% or so. This informat
