I doubt the CC companies will try to get into NFC any more than they already have any time soon. They're all too busy rolling out chip cards before the laws go into effect next year. They might try to combine NFC and chips in all the new cards, but I'm thinking we won't see major CC input on NFC until 2016 or so.

On the forgetting an important item front: I just went to the big Miku Expo and concert in LA a few weekends ago with my boyfriend who had only flown once before. He was planning to meet me at work and then we would walk across the street to the airport. I had made sure to remind him about 50 times while he was…

I use Google Wallet at every place that has the NFC set-up.

You'll have to pry my (still working and regularly used) Sega Dreamcast from my cold dead hands.

I try to use it as much as I can, but it only seems to work at places that specifically have the Google Wallet logo on the machine. I get my prescriptions at Walgreens and it always works there. All I have to do is unlock my phone and enter my Wallet PIN while I'm waiting in line, then tap the pad, wait for the noise,…

Not really, the Five Guys/McDonalds comparison doesn't match up. If the companies allowed Apple Pay/Google Wallet/ISIS as well as their own QR code system than you'd have a good analogy.

My boyfriend and I went to the Saturday concert in LA with VIP tickets and both days of the expo. We even dressed up on Sunday and had our pictures taken a bit. It was amazing to see how many people came out to a little venue to celebrate and support the vocaloids and how many of those people had flown all the way out…

I had a really awesome dentist in my hometown (unfortunately my parents have no moved and I have no logical reason to go back) who did something similar. I'm terrified to needles and usually have a panic attack and pass out. He was really great and instead of doing the whole "you're going to feel a big pinch, suck it…

Ugh, I am totally the opposite. I hate spitting with a burning passion and would gladly listen to people snorting and swallowing all day if I never had to see someone spit again. People walking by me on the street spitting, my boyfriend spitting into a trash can, it's all really goddamn gross.

This should still be true with the bigger stuff at Fry's Electronics. I used to work as the greeter and would have to check off all the big bulk purchases that customers would bring up (stuff like a giant TV, Blu-Ray player, sound system all together) and the sales guys would give huge discounts because they could use…

Or in my case:

Oh man, this reminds me of a roommate I had about a year back.

Piggy backing on NFCU, there's USAA if you're in any branch I believe, although it's a big bank not a credit union.

Sure lady, my phone number is 555-rly-nope and my email is rusrs@doublenope.com

OH MY GOD THOSE STRAWBERRY TARTS

Both my first and last name are kinda uncommon. Not "Jolyena" or super old time-y, just not really used. I've only met one other girl with the same first name and I've never met another girl with my middle name.

I can only think of 3 Richards off the top of my head:

Seconded. Even though my home desk has pretty good lighting, it's still easier to see the backlit keys on my keyboard than the painted on ones. Also, there's no paint to wear off!*

Agreed 100%. I've used mechanical keyboards and although the sound isn't the biggest problem for me (the clacking is a little fun sometimes) it's the amount of pressure needed to depress a key is too much. I can type really fast and accurately on my laptop style keyboard at home because they respond to just a light…
