blog about future gas interchange mobile payments prices thread
Javelin certainly agrees that mobile payments and finance is set to take off, but I see this driving network-branded (“card”) payments higher on a global basis rather than lower. This discussion reminds me of the 1990’s argument that the “new economy” would spell the death of brands, which if anything has led to exactly the opposite effect. The more far-flung and ubiquitous your transaction patterns are, the more you value the trust and convenience of branded payments. Certainly the pattern changes, just as EBay has enabled the success of micro-merchants by enabling buyer ratings systems (a defacto network branding scheme for the masses). Will interchange and other fee models have to adapt? Certainly. But as mobile payments expand payments capabilities around the globe (and eventually leave non-electronic payments in the age of

Until recently, the development of mobile-friendly websites has been regarded as nothing more than an irrelevant black art. That has since changed, thanks to more web-capable phones making their way into the mainstream (such as, of course, the iPhone). But the landslide of new and improved mobile sites has opened the doors to a sort of standard-free chaos, where almost anything (that works) goes and security is a second thought. The Open Mobile Terminal Platform (OMTP) group hopes to change that, however, by launching a new initiative that focuses on mobile development without sacrificing important principles like security.

Microsoft will be more guarded in what it shares with the outside world as its engineers busy themselves working on Windows 7, according to a new Engineering Windows 7 blog created by two senior W7 engineering managers, Jon DeVaan and Steven Sinofsky. The authors say they will post "regularly" but that Microsoft will be "maintaining a little bit more control over the communication around Windows 7." They add: "We ... definitely learned some lessons about 'disclosure' and how we can all too easily get ahead of ourselves in talking about features before our understanding of them is solid." There will be a lot of white space to fill in their blog if they're duty-bound not to say much.

As you may have noticed, there is a "blog" that has posted a link to this thread. This so-called blog is actually nothing more than platform for libelous slander against various companies and trade organizations in the electronic components distribution industry. The blog is run by a single person, Dinesh Kumar Jain, owner and sole employee of the company Chip Stores in Canada. As you may have also noticed, Mr. Jain is an extremely disturbed individual whose bizarre and downright nonsensical accusations have gotten him thrown off or blacklisted from virtually every broker/distribution website on the Internet, as well as most of the "Complaint/Scam" type message boards. Every reply on his website is quite obviously by him and it's rather doubtful that anybody else even reads his nonsense.
