The Timex Speedpass Watch

Posted by chrisd on from the i-prefer-speed-cash dept.

RedWolves2 writes "Timex Corporation is developing a watch which incorporates Speedpass technology embedded into it. McDonalds has also partnered with Speedpass with 400 stores in the Chicago area that accept speedpass. Now you can order a value meal like this "You will serve me a Big Mac Meal with a Coke!" (While waving your hand like a Jedi Knight using the Jedi Mind trick)."

    I cant remember the exact quote but it oges something like this

    because banks wanted to be secure the invented teller machines that first of all asked for a pin then took a sample of blood and scrapped skin from the back of your neck for DNA testing ending with some very personal questions about you and your family ....

    people couldnt take it an longer so they invented the identyChip... to answer all the DNA and biometric tests and be rid of personal questions

    in the end people stole the identyChips and commited faud as they had before ....

    nice Idea but should this not be Done with something standard and low power like Bluetooth connect it up to a phone that has your equivlent IdentyChip on it

    you could even order ahead through your phone and then when you got to Macky Dees(or any other shop where ques are an issue like Coffe shops and theaters) you have your order ready !

    sort it out people

    regards
