Google to go Nuclear against SOPA
Things could get interesting if congress doesn’t get the message that we don’t want SOPA. If they didn’t get the message after some 37,000 domains left GoDaddy in protest of their support for SOPA, Google, Amazon, Facebook, and Twitter might be able to get the message across by simultaneously shutting down their services. So far, there is no actual plan to shut down these services in protest, but there is talk.
Frankly, this might not be a bad idea. If they do decide to shut down, I hope they do it for a 24 hour period. that should get everyone’s attention. Can you imaging the impact this would have on the United States? Not to mention, the rest of the world.
Google Wallet Launches Today
I myself am not a fan of smart phone technology for two reasons, security and privacy. So, I won’t be subscribing to Google Wallet anytime soon. But if you feel comfortable with the idea of storing your credit card information on your smart phone, you may like Google Wallet.
“Google Wallet has been designed for an open commerce ecosystem. It will eventually hold many if not all of the cards you keep in your leather wallet today. And because Google Wallet is a mobile app, it will be able to do more than a regular wallet ever could, like storing thousands of payment cards and Google Offers but without the bulk. Eventually your loyalty cards, gift cards, receipts, boarding passes, tickets, even your keys will be seamlessly synced to your Google Wallet. And every offer and loyalty point will be redeemed automatically with a single tap via NFC. ”
