Contactless Credit Cards

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the don't-crowd-me-in-line dept.

An anonymous reader writes "According to his article in EETimes, Visa and Philips are teaming up to introduce a so-called "contactless credit card". Basically it'll work like the proximity cards many of us use for access to our places of work or apartments. You won't need to physically swipe it, simply waving it over a reader is good enough."

    Didn't read the title at all, since my view (possibly all views?) of the discussion thread displays the messages in line. In fact, didn't even know what your subject line was until I read your message. Of course, if you posted this while logged in, I would've mod'ed you down for being off-topic ;)

    Their rapid payment thingies may be inovative but these are guys that still claim there's no such thing as global warming or human rights in third world countries they exploit. Their track record is terrible. They're totally apallingly disgusting. If you really must drive, at least buy gas from somebody like BP who at least pays a little attention to the environment.
