    Google Wallet

    Browsing Slashdot today I discovered that google is planning on launching an online payment service to compete with PayPal.
    Exact details of the search company's planned service are not known. But the knowledgeable people say it could have similarities with PayPal, which allows consumers to pay for purchases on Web sites by funding electronic-payment accounts from their credit cards or checking accounts. Some consumers like PayPal for the security it offers, since it allows them to share their banking or credit-card numbers only with PayPal without having to divulge the information to merchants.
    The Wall Street Journal has the full story.

    PHP Code:
    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();

    There is no stopping them - I really am a Google fan.

    There is several things which have changed my life.

    WiFi, my Blackberry, Google, Skype - all of which work on platforms which are already avaliable but taking them to the next level.

    Google have and always will (until they do something I deam as bad) have my support
