If you don't mind connecting it to your computer via USB, an AlphaSmart is exactly what you're looking for, and it's from the 90s :)

Apple Pay does work in Canada, but it only works with American credit cards. I use it in Canada all the time.

After reading your explanation the headline seems a lot better, sorry for my ill informed remarks.

What a ridiculous clickbait headline from the EFF. The truth is buried 7 paragraphs down:

The amendments announced on Thursday will be formally included into the bill on Monday, in a committee meeting that was not planned to include a vote. The Lords will then have two more minor opportunities to debate the content of the bill before it is passed onto the elected House of Commons in its entirety for what is expected to be a simple up/down vote. Britain's members of parliament are currently distracted as they prepare for nationwide elections in May, which means it is highly likely that a major anti-terrorism bill like this will collect enough votes to pass.

Safari, Firefox and Internet Explorer support emoji on all platforms. Chrome is the only browser not to support emoji.

What would give "TorCoins" value? It is obvious relays would sell their coins on some altcoin exchange, but who would be purchasing these coins? It seems that the only people purchasing TorCoins would be people looking to donate to Tor relays (this is a totally valid use case, but I was wondering if you have something else in mind.)

Looks really cool by the way.

Google Wallet actually uses the same technology as Chip+PIN, EMV (Visa payWave).

You might want to try https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.microsoft.... , the official Microsoft RDP app; works great in my experience

I'm having the exact same issue on Firefox / Windows 8.1 on an Intel Iris 5100, so it's probably an issue with Intel drivers.
