    Google Wallet for digital goods to close next year -- PayPal and Apple Pay rejoice

    Wow that's big news!

    Meanwhile Apple stock is at an all time high at over $800 per share. Remember when the stock dropped to $320?!

    It seems big but really it's not. I bend down and lift stuff all day and have my 6+ in my pocket and have no issues. It's so much better then the 4s I was using. I'm glad I went with the 6+ over the 6.

    I have used Apple Pay a couple times and it's really easy and a lot faster then using my card. Cashiers keep looking at me when I have used it wondering where my card is...haha.

    Dope. Maybe in 2 years.

    I've been paying using my Starbucks app. Only way to get rewards, just trying to get to the level where I get free refills in store.

    Another cool thing is your phone gives you alerts every time the cards you have on file gets used. So even though you don't use apple pay, you can receive notifications even when the card was used somewhere else.

    Nah it's cool actually. The alert is on the top and goes away quickly. And you can go to your passport and it shows you your last charges too
