"Apple has applied for a patent on a combined virtual currency and digital wallet technology that would allow you to store money in the cloud, make payments with your iPhone, and maybe communicate with point-of-sale terminals via NFC. The patent application, published [Thursday] by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Organization, details how iPhone users could walk into a store, pay for goods with their phone, and walk out with their merchandise. Though Apple is late to the virtual wallet game, that doesn't seem to stop them trying to patent the process. There does not appear to be anything in the patent application which describes something that can't already be done."
As I watched the top man of my country lie about spying on all of us "for our own good" I could not help but wonder how the Boston Marathon got disrupted if they are on top of things by their wholesale spying? "What we have... is... concrete proof of U.S.-based... companies participating with the NSA in wholesale surveillance on us, the rest of the world, the non-American, you and me," Mikko Hypponen, chief research officer at Finnish software security firm F-Secure.
To me this is more evidence of preparations for a one world government that will be based in the "New" Roman government of modern times that controls all the world.
US government invokes special privilege to stop scrutiny of data mining
Weazels.
"The whole thing is unsettling, the government knowing everything about you from what you watch on T.V. to what you purchase online,
There is a duality in the whole thing: on one end, society can feel a little safer knowing that the government, through this kind of surveillance, can stop a bombing and save hundreds of people.
On the other end of the spectrum; This type of surveillance can also EASILY be used to control society.
Thinking in hypotheticals; What if the government decided to implement a curfew? No one outside past 10 pm unless they have legal documentation stating they are allowed to do so.
The people don't like this, they want to protest or form some sort of activist group against this curfew. How are you going to organize that?
Through digital devices, which the government monitors, and next thing you know, your activist group is all thrown in jail for conspiring against the government.
When you think about the bigger picture of it all, and what this type of authority could eventually become it kind of makes it seem more disturbing. Are we truly free?"
