Pay By Touch Goes Online

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the sort-of dept.

Max Fomitchev writes to tell us that Pay By Touch, the biometric identification service, has announced an online version of their service. While currently the only implementation of this service is in the brick-and-mortar storefront of Star Markets grocery stores, the company hopes that online vendors will start signing up soon.

    Finally, the world of "Back to the Future" is coming to us! Now if I can just get that hoverboard I've always wanted....

      Back to the Future? What kind of /. nerd are you? First thing that came to my mind is Quark handing me a data pad for my thumbprint.

      Now if I can just get into one of his holosuites and take a spin at "Vulcan Love Slave 2: The Revenge"!

    What about strip clubs?

      "What about strip clubs?"

      Sorry, but its only in Soviet Strip Clubs that you're allowed to pay for touching yourself!

      I can see someone might want to substitute "pay-by-touch" in such situations, though:

      An anglo from Toronto, a Quebecer, and a newfie from Newfoundland go to a strip club in Montreal (yes, this is a Kanuckistani joke)
      The Quebecer gets a lap dance, and slips $10.00 in the strippers' panties.
      The Torontonian gets a lap dance, and, not to be outdone, slips $20.00 in the strippers' panties.
      The Newfie gets a lap dance, asks the girl to bend over, pulls down her panties, and slides his ATM bank card through her ass-crack.

      Then again, perhaps not.

    This isn't directly related to the topic at hand, but my collection of people's fingers also goes 'online' today.

    I needed a hobby and a little more cash, this should solve both of those problems.
