very thorough article - I've always wanted to know how these worked. I had no idea that many of them used Bluetooth / serial etc.

One revision to the post I'd like to see - I'd love to see a section on how they attach to the actual reader. I know they mentioned MitM attacks, but do these readers fit over the top of the skimmer? underneath? behind the entire skimmer? are the visible from the pump itself?

very interesting - been thinking about something like this for an upcoming project. one suggestion, work on the copy on the homepage. I'll admit I was a tad confused by some of the wording, particularly the main heading.

This is getting crazy! One thing I love about the microSD market is it (pretty much) eliminates the need to upgrade your iphone to the 128/256/512 version and pay $xxx extra when you can just keep one of these puppies, and even take it with you to your next upgrade, or swap to Android etc.

Excellent - I'm a big fan of GitBook and have been using it for my main project. So far, so good. Would maybe be willing to beta test this but I'm afraid I only use basic functions, no Latex etc support.

SEEKING SUGGESTIONS

I'm about to launch a side project / hobby site (mainly JSON-LD, open source) and could really use a second set of eyes. Just need someone good with JSON-LD, DOM, HTML/CSS, maybe Javascript.

I've been looking for this for a long time. I found a website recently that does this, but it isn't an app / interactive you have to find what you are looking for. Will definitely recommend this to my non-political friends who care about the country but don't have time to research.

I think video cards would be really sweet, the gamer community would go nuts over that.

If I could give a standing ovation for this product right now I would. This is exactly what customers are looking for and is a very forward thinking mentality. I would use this, and recommend this, and I could see users loving this.

I do a lot of casual hybrid biking (road / light trails) we have a lot of farms around my house so thats a lot of fun.

Also some light woodworking which is always fun. Building a lot of stuff out of re-claimed wood, pallets etc its a lot of fun.

Mostly computers are my job and my hobby. When I'm not working on mar-tech stuff I like to build PCs, electronics, etc. Right now I'm testing all the USB cables in my house to see which ones are crap.

But most of all when I'm not working I like to hang out with my 4 year old son :) I'm teaching him computers, programming, handyman stuff, riding his bike (just took off training wheels).

Been hanging here in Firefox now for about 5-10 minutes its a receipt for my insurance (no private info) about 2 pages in length.

Either way, super cool idea. My Dad will be stoked about this as he's been OCR'ing his way into oblivion for the past few years.

One of my favorite blogs without a doubt, been reading your onboards since the beginning.
