Comment on Parking Lots and PCI Compliance by PhoneBoy

A handful of systems used to do that in the US as well.

It’s not the fact the last four digits are printed on a receipt. It’s that I have to essentially post that receipt in a public location where anyone could (theoretically) walk by and see it. It is information that, at least in the context of validating I paid for parking, is not required. It certainly violates the spirit (if not the letter) of the PCI guidelines.

My understanding is that this is fine, as they are only using the last 4 digits. Displaying the whole PAN would be a problem, but you’re allowed to display the last 4 like that.

It’s pretty much standard in this part of the world for every receipt to show those digits. (I live in NZ, where most people pay for _everything_ via debit/credit card. Cash is unusual). A few years ago a handful of systems would display the whole CC number, until someone pointed out just how bad it was.

Comment on What Happens When You Buy a Smart Phone From a Dumb Carrier by Tsahi Levent-Levi

While that may be true, I do believe they hit on a good technique to update “stuff” (=experience) without messing around with a full OTA update of the OS.
The way apps are ingrained in the mobile OS paradigm allows for this kind of flexibility. I wish it gets used more.

The distinction between OS and Apps is lost on a certain percentage of the population.

Google made some of their experience Apps (versus OS) so they could Open Source the OS and still keep the apps proprietary.

Dameon,

I think people just don’t care.
It might change, now that Apple has changed the whole paradigm but it will take more time for this shift to happen.
Carriers can and probably should focus on offering their own “experience” as apps on top of the platform. Look at Google – even they decided to place part of their experience (Gmail, You Tube, Maps) on top of the OS as apps.
