MasterCard and its new feature: Paypass (or Just Tap and Go)

July 28th, 2010

Are you one of MasterCard users around the world ? Are you cheering like me when see they are the major sponsor of the UEFA championships and other major soccer (or football in Europe) tournaments ? Have you recently received a pamphlet in your mail introducing the new feature (and always the new feature is the best they have) of Paypass, where you only need to pass your Master-Card by the machine and it will do all the work ? No need for signature and it will be more than easy to handle a card. But, have you ever wondered about a security reach this new technology might introduce ? Watch this video talking about the new technology and how it can hacked.

Why not watch another Master Card advertisement to persuade us to use the new technology ?

Your decision, use it or not, do it wisely.

Job Hunting

June 3rd, 2010

Job Hunting 150x150 Job HuntingThese days, after my graduation, I am trying to look for a job. I have been to BC Technology site and other sites. Not so successful in finding the perfect job that I liked. There are jobs posted but there are no many entry level jobs available. I am looking for a programmer type of job in C++ or Java. I also am looking for PHP / web developer. I am not a big PHP expert but as my past experiences I have done a lot with PHP building up my sites and others.
The trend in the job market that I’ve seen was about having more people employed as a contract position in big companies like SAP. There are trying to hire people on contract based job and not on a regular bases.

Nokia (NOK) a good buy ?

May 14th, 2010

I was following the price of Nokia (NOK) for a while. It has been gone down lately to 10.67. You are hearing news about Nokia suing Apple for their technology and other stuff. Not sure how these fights will end up but I am sure Nokia with the base business in Europe, after the recession over in Greece and other countries in Euro, and also by introducing the third version of Symbian which will be an open source, it will get big jumps in its stock price.
Nokia Sues Apple Nokia (NOK) a good buy ?
It won’t be a near future rise but a long term investment. Invest if you like your money rest there for a while and after a year or two have some surplus. I am guessing the price of the stock will go up to 15 in future.

I have received a 50$ promotion gift card to be spent on Iris. If you want to spend on buying eyeglasses or any other items from Iris, it would be a wise choice to get an American Express card now and use this gift card. I only have one of them and not using. The easier way is to let me know (by comment, email, twitter, friendfeed) and we could be able to manage to exchange the card sometime.
