There are no words for this new video produced by the PCI Security Standards

I won't even try to describe it.

Articles posted today re: mobile web usage in the UK seem to indicate a
massive increase in searches done via mobile phones. A 247% increase
to be exact.

One article actually puts the bulk of the "credit" at the feet of the Android
mobile operating system. True?

Oct 5: Paypal #XChat

Today I attended a Twitter Chat chaired by Paypal's VP of mobile payments,
Osama Obedier. If you've never been in a Twitter chat, it's worth joining if
you're interested in the topic - fun, quick, lots of noise but useful tidbits and
links emerge. This chat, now over, can be accessed by searching on hashtag:
#xchat.

From what I could comb out of the noise, this chat was meant as a teaser to
what Paypal's plans are in the mobile payments marketplace as well as spread
the word about their upcoming developer conference, Paypal X Innovate 2010.
A nice little treat thrown in by Obedier:

A restaurant down in Florida is being investigated for a card data security breech
after a spike in credit card fraud was traced back to its POS system.

Unfortunately this isn't uncommon as hackers are tending to target the small to
midsize businesses. What's different about this is that this establishment was NOT
storing any card data.
