I love technology. Together, they will take over the world. At least that’s what Google is trying to do with its new service, Google Wallet. Obviously, I really enjoyed this teaser, and I’ve been a proponent of NFC (near-field communication) payment services ever since the technology came out. Hopefully the wallet will be a thing of the past once more retailers, credit card companies, and handset makers start adopting NFC. Basically every next generation phone should have the ability to take advantage of services like Google Wallet. Right now, Google has teamed up with Citi, Mastercard, and a few merchants like Subway in Wallet’s debut. So far so good, but apparently it has hit some stumbling blocks, such as failure to read sometimes. It’s still in its nascent stages, so obviously they’ll work out the kinks.</p> <p>My one question, though, is whether this will eliminate receipts altogether, or perhaps digitize them? An important goal would be to reduce paper waste, so hopefully they are doing something to get rid of paper receipts. Anyway, long live NFC payment services and long live Seinfeld!<span> </span></p>http://www.pavyedav.com/post/10443065745http://www.pavyedav.com/post/10443065745Tue, 20 Sep 2011 11:12:11 -0400googlenfcpaymentsseinfeldgeorge costanzajason alexanderphonesmastercardcitisubwayreceiptsretailersRecently, I watched the national news and they had an entire expose about Solyndra, the thin-film...http://www.pavyedav.com/post/10239767920http://www.pavyedav.com/post/10239767920Thu, 15 Sep 2011 10:36:33 -0400I’m back.

You don’t have to watch all of it to get the basic idea, but I would recommend it. It is a smart transportation system that uses solar power and other less intensive energy strategies to power smaller monorail-like carts that are elevated in the city. There are obviously some problems with this, such as whether cities want to put large foundational posts and rail across nice areas, etc., but the idea is certainly one to think about.</p> <p>What bothers me is that they probably have systems like this either in place or deep in development stages in other areas of the world. Anyway, it’s a pretty cool idea, and at the very least it can provide an appropriate thought process for other transportation systems that will ease the pain on the environment and on people.</p>http://www.pavyedav.com/post/9416195306http://www.pavyedav.com/post/9416195306Fri, 26 Aug 2011 11:25:23 -0400I know everyone has probably read dozens of posts regarding Steve Jobs’ resignation, but...http://www.pavyedav.com/post/9376954971http://www.pavyedav.com/post/9376954971Thu, 25 Aug 2011 11:53:00 -0400applejobscookipadmacbookinnovationproductstechnologyconsumer techresignation
