I was curious so I just looked it up. Apparently it reduce the fraud rate by 68%, so there the evil canadian system works:p
You got it wrong. The chip is only good to protect purchases made at a physical POS. It doesn't work for online transactions. In this case of re-shipping scam it does not help to have chips - yet the customers do pay for that technology.
And scammers are scammers, they adapt. Instead of swiping cards they now steal the POS device and replace it with a modified one that registers all the details of the transactions. It never ends.
Cards with chips are not safer overall, but they are more expensive.
If the purchase is large or the card isn't swiped, simply send a verification code to the customer's phone for that transaction that they have to enter.
So in order to complete the purchase I have to drive home, get the verification code, and drive back to the store?
No thanks.
it probably wouldn't work for you anyways, these things require touch-tone.
You are correct. They implemented chips on debit and credit cards in Canada and this did not make a dent on fraud, but it proved expensive as hell. Guess who ended up paying more for their banking fees? (hint: not the bankers and not the criminals)
Now instead of using big data to identify trends and pattern, doctors will need big data to figure out which code to use when they fill the forms. Good news is, with the right instance type on AWS and a latest build of mahout, locating the right code for any disease should take less than an hour.
XCode, and everything Apple, takes forever to download everywhere. It's faster to download the CentOS "Everything ISO" (7GB) from a shitty ftp mirror in Egypt than to get XCode (3GB) from the global network of the wealthiest company in the world.
Those are annoying but really it's the overall slowdown of websites caused by all those lousy ad networks downloads that sucks. Developers spend tons of time optimizing code, minifying javascript and css, using sprites and whatnot, all in order to restrict the number of connections per page to a minimum (the real killer on mobile internet) but then suckers from ad companies step in and cause browsers to download 50 different files.
Do it right without hurting performance and maybe people will stop hating ads.
The $18B doesn't cover the cost of 500,000 customers who not only got ripped off, but also were exposed to dangerous levels of harmful fumes. This is a torts lawyer wet dream.
whar does manufacturing in China and maximizing profits have to do with the integrity of his statements about a stylus? FYI, any CEO (or officer) who isn't about fulfilling their fiduciary responsibility to the stock holders won't remain as such for long and may face criminal charges.
A CEO has no "fiduciary responsibility" to the stock holders and would definitely never face criminal charges because he refuses to use Asian child labor to lower costs. Clearly you have no idea how the world works. That might explain why you hold Steve Jobs in such high regard.
Of course. Steve Jobs was all about integrity, not profit. That's why the iPhone is manufactured in China, why Apple takes a huge cut on App Store sales, and why they want musicians to subsidize the trial period on Apple music streaming. Integrity.
(I'm having trouble finding unit sales metrics for the Surface, but it has only recently had it's first $1million+ quarter).
You're amazingly arrogant for someone that misinformed.
Weird. I did not have trouble finding sales metrics for the Surface at all. But whatever is the reason for your lack of google skills, I'm sure you will be surprised to learn that Microsoft is making more than 1 million dollars per quarter with this product. They even make more than that per day. Isn't that amazing?
Are they outselling iPads? No, not yet. But the iPad, which used to dominate the market, now has at best a 20% share. So the real competition for Microsoft is not the iPad, it's that cluster of Asian Android manufacturers.
I would also like to point out that you're way less clever than you think in your comments. You sound petulant, not righteous.

You blame Microsoft?
Maybe you'll have a lot of blaming to do about things that work everywhere but not on this Apple masterpiece.
But... what about porn?
pic or no lick
they do things that can easily be found out by googling their name
Yes! Less nice things to buy! More bitter comments! That's the internet we deserve!
I know of hundreds of Patreon people having their stuff ripped and distributed right now.
I can picture you looking at your bittorrent stream, laughing maniacally as you posted this comment
Of all the accused crack-smoking child molesters, Bennet Hasselton is by far the best!
If that's the case, there's a bunch of MLK boulevards that will have to be renamed.

he buys stuff on Amazon, has it sent to my home, and I re-ship it to him
Are you a stay-at-home mom making $3,000 per month working 2h a day, like in the ads?

Here's the feature I suggest: stop putting LSD in the water cooler at your office.

I wouldn't touch Carly with my 10' pole but I would bang the hell out of either Marissa or Ellen

Exactly. She's just like Marissa Mayer or Ellen Pao.

Wtf Apple.
I guess you'll have to click the link to understand.
Used to be. But thank to the US Chamber of Commerce and their evil henchman, Karl Rove, the torts gravy train has come to a grinding halt.
