USB Credit Card? Are they serious?

SUBMAN1 · 12-29-07, 11:46 AM

I'm still baffled at the credit card companies of late. When are they going to get it through their thick skulls that a thin plastic credit card is the 'PERFECT' device for credit transactions? Who the hell wants a damn USB stick stuck in their pocket vs a nice peice of plastic stuck in their wallet????

Here is your neat new credit car.... Um, I mean USB stick for the future:

Can someone answer that question above? I can't! Why would someone want this thing over a tiny card that slips into ones wallet????

And what is up with this flash pay system where you swipe your card in front of a scanner instead of simply swiping it down a scanner??? By physically swiping it, this is a secure form of payment. By flashing it so that it can be scanned at range, I can build a scanner and swipe credit cards by simply walking down the street!

Everyone should buy themselves a shileding wallet for the future. I guess I'm getting off topic for this thread - its on USB sticks. Oops!
