I read an interesting piece earlier last week on imrg.org (the website of the UK Online Retail Association) arguing that consumer concerns over security could inhibit the adoption of many new payment methods and technologies. It said that despite dramatic increases in technologies that would allow for smoother and more convenient payments, consu

The yearly Apple keynote wasn't a demonstration of new products. Since its inception it's increasingly become a parade of the firm's utter dominance of the consumer technology market.
