Agree, SUPER clever idea. I'm wondering how this would work to make purchases _online_. I know, I know. I'd use my real card. But it strikes me as ironic that the big idea for this digital card is that I don't have to carry my 'analog' cards around. Unless I want to make a digital purchase. Then I need my analog card.

My reaction as well. Even 500 million bytes would be hard to believe.

While "efficient" is not a word that comes to mind when thinking about the government, 500 lines of code would be 1.6 lines for every man, woman, and child in this country.

Sort of insinuates that ID theft is not meant to be a core focus of Experian.

This article is the best thing I've read in a while, and I needed to read it. Thanks.

Replace "media company" to suit tastes, and it still rings ture.

When the iPhone debuted, no doubt Google sensed the impact, and Apple's ability to create an effective closed ecosystem had already been proven with iTunes. I believe that Google wanted to undermine the market long enough to understand it. True enough, "android winning" was not the same as "Google winning," but it did mean everyone else "losing." I believe that for Google, Android started as a strategy in search of a goal. It was a smokescreen to prevent Apple from taking a dominant position by default. As the data poured in, they began to understand how to leverage it, and the Nexus line became an expression of such understanding, working to establish more control, and hopefully emerge from the smokescreen they had created.

I'm sure they are storing term volume indefinitely, considering google.com/trends.

I'm sure that most blanket strategy statements are false. It depends on what you're trying to do, or better yet, why you're trying to do it. Right? Each platform has it's strengths and weaknesses, and understanding how they align with your vision is a pretty handy skill.

I'm not sure that should be limited to 'entrepreneurs.' That's a great list of skills that anyone wishing to e successful should cultivate. Thanks for the link.
