  • What’s cheaper than buying an anti-RFID wallet?

    What’s cheaper than buying an anti-RFID wallet?

    Posted on June 1, 2010 | No Comments
    The following is in the interest of saving you money, which is probably my number one goal here at CG: preventing you from spending money when you don't have to. I've seen ads on Drudge recently pimping RFID-blocking wallets produced by a company called Identity Stronghold. The idea behind the wallet is to block the RFID chip found in your credit card from being surreptitiously scanned. Now, I'm sure it's a fine product and one that works as advertised; I have no "issue" with said wallet. But that's partially why you can get away with not buying one: it's fairly easy to disable the RFID chip in your credit card. What do you need? Nothing more than a hammer!

    Adobe made it official today, the CS5 package is now available for pre-order. You can also order just the bits and pieces you want, if you don't want to drop $1,899 for the full monty. Photoshop CS5 is looking particularly tasty, with the new content-aware fill at the top of my list of stuff I want to check out. Take a look at the demo video after the jump.

  • Starbucks now letting you pay for your coffee fix via iPhone in 1,000+ Target stores

    Starbucks now letting you pay for your coffee fix via iPhone in 1,000+ Target stores

    Posted on March 30, 2010 | No Comments
    Back in September of last year, Starbucks made it possible to pay for your daily caffeine hit with their Starbucks Card Mobile iPhone app. The entire concept is pretty simple: punch in your Starbucks Card info, verify some details, and BAM! The iPhone app becomes the gift card, presenting a secure QR code for the Barista to scan when it comes time to pay up. Here's the catch: out of Starbucks' roughly 74 billion locations, only a few have started accepting the mobile payment system. As in very few. As in sixteen. Until today!

    There you were, just this morning, sitting over your latté. "When the hell is the pricing for the BlackBerry Bold 9700 and/or Samsung Behold 2 going to leak?", you thought. Both handsets are coming within roughly a week or so, yet there was still no word on how much you needed to set aside? Pardon my french, friends, but that is shenanigans. Fortunately, its been dealt with.

    Review: The Flipside Wallet 2.0

    Posted on September 25, 2009 | No Comments
    Wallets are a very personal thing. Generally speaking, once you find one you like, you stick with that one until it wears out, and then spend weeks trying to find a replacement that's the same style, only to realize that they don't make them anymore, and you're going to have to find something else. This was my dilemma, so when I was asked to review the Flipside Wallet, I was a little dubious about how well I would like it, given how particular I am.

    Question: You have a stack of old, vintage moneybags, and a yen to make something out of them. What do you do? If you’re Etsy seller Rikkianne (aka. chakrapennywhistle), you do nothing. Conceptually, at least. These wallets have gone from holding big stacks of cash to smaller stacks of cash, and are fashioned from old banking [...]
