People already submit to letting their employers test their blood and pee for whatever substances the employer chooses. They also let their employers check their credit. Most people don't give a shit about any sort of privacy. They just want what they want, and they want it NOW. Heck, I'm surprised that DNA testing of employees isn't happening already.
We use Chinese made hardware because it works better than US made stuff (Cisco). If the Chinese gov't wants to spy on our business, they can have at it. It's worth it to us to have reliable equipment.
So what? Terminals can be bulletproof, but you still need software to talk to those terminals, and that's where the problem usually lies. ApplePay wouldn't prevent any of those security problems at all.
It depends on what you're buying, of course. I have managed to get through my entire life, so far, having bought *nothing* from Amazon. I know it may ruffle your butt cheeks, but it's not only possible, but it's not difficult, either.
And the unsurprising aspect is that people will continue to spend money with them, hand over fist. Everybody who spends money with them are just as guilty of this as the company, themselves. People know that Amazon treats its employees like shit, but nobody cares when it comes down to their own wallet.
Yes, pay for eavesdropping! Do it! Just think: instead of having to deal with those "complicated" digital audio files, you can pay one of the world's largest international corporations to record everything happening in your household, day and night! What a deal!
Yes, more Windows Phones, please! They've got, hands down, the best phone OS out there. Not a lot of Windows 10 Phones out there, but there should be more.
"Fitness bands" are a fad, anyway. MS is smart to get out of them sooner rather than later. "Fitness bands" are something that out of shape people use for a week, then toss in a drawer, somewhere, never to be seen again. People who exercise on a regular basis don't need to know heart rate and all of that other silly stuff, unless they're seriously competitive athletes, which is, of course, a tiny market.
Nobody pays retail for Windows licenses. I'm comparing this to refurbed workstations that come with Windows licenses. $300 will get you a similar refurbed desktop WITH a Windows 7/8/10 Pro license.
When I'm trying to decide which car I should buy, the first people I look to are billionaires. Since their lifestyles and mine are so similar, and since they're obviously so much smarter than I am, I just assume that their decisions are the correct ones.
I would hope that Cisco would instead focus on making products that work correctly, before dealing with blinky lights. We just got rid of all of our Cisco equipment because they were shit.
It's brilliant and simple. Apple customers will buy anything. They buy ridiculous "special" Apple chargers now. Why wouldn't they also buy "special" Apple headphones? Of course they will. By the tens of millions. Apple will make hundreds of millions on just these dumb, superfluous gadgets.

The terminals support several payment schemes.

So, all you have to do is to give all of your banking info to Apple. Yeah, that's totally secure! They're known for being a really great bank.
This is not a technology issue, or even a science issue. This is an economics issue, and a monetary issue.
"News for Nerds". There are lots of nerds that don't have anything to do with science or technology. There are even economics nerds. So, stuff it.
it's not conservative thinkers starting wars and fking the people
And on your planet, the sky is green and the grass is blue, huh?
Some very, very good people told me that he absolutely is an agent. These people are the best.
She can speak English. He can't. It's that simple.
Hey dipshit, you'll have to lie in that bed, too, if you don't vote for Clinton.
I shop locally. I know my local businesses. I know which ones pay a living wage (most do). Big box stores rarely do.

She "performed terribly"? Do you have any basic understanding of international politics?
Oh, hang on. I hear the waaaahmbulance! Your understanding of history is broken! So sad.

For the amount I read from unlimited, I am spending more on unlimited than I would if I were to simply buy the books I've read and enjoyed
Amazon's contract was designed to benefit Amazon first and foremost
Yet you still give them money? Did I miss something obvious in your post?

It would be a great deal if it came with a Windows license. As is it's a 'meh' price.
Just keep feeding Big Brother, and fuck your neighbors. Great attitude! Congratulations for having absolutely no scruples.

The current "other party offerings" are both a joke right now, so I don't think that's going to convince many people in the immediate future.
