KitKat to allow for NFC Payments for ALL! Take that Verizon!!!

According to a news article on NFC World, Google paired with a start up company called Simply Tapp to create a way for anyone on any phone to use NFC Payments (and other super groovy NFC features) without the need for provisioned secure element built into the device and therefore no need to get permission from greedy wireless carriers like Verizon.  

I've been wanting to use Google Wallet on my phone to pay for stuff for a long time but since I'm with Verizon, they disable that feature for some bogus reason that really boils down to them wanting you to use the service they signed a contract with (which by the way has horrible reviews in the play store).  I'm glad Google doesn't back down from these kind of fights!  Can't wait to get my next phone which will undoubtedly have KitKat so I can finally use Google Wallet Payments.

NFC Tag embedded in your hand?!?! Just a little creepy to me!

So there's a new start up raising money on IndieGoGo.com (looks like they've already reached their goal) to create NFC chips to be embedded in YOU!  That's right, they don't just see these chips as something to embed in animals, but as something to be embedded in the human hand as well and apparently they've already tested on a few willing people.

While this might bring up images of end times and the anti-Christ for many people, to me it just seems plain ridiculous.  Then again, I'm sure many of the electronics we have, do, and use regularly seem equally as ridiculous to my parents.  One thing is for sure - as much as I hate even getting my blood taken, there's no chance that I'll be getting a foreign object stuck under my skin...ever!
