Euphoria Rockumentary

One of my favorite bands is Euphoria. I really enjoyed watching this rockumentary. Even though the production quality is not that great, the content and details and trivia in there are awesome. It's a must watch for any Euphoria fan. It's a multi-part series so looking forward to the next episode

Techcrunch Disrupt - MobilePay

TC Disrupt is on and I have been watching sessions over the web (not as exciting as it was attending in-person TC50 last time as a part of the presenting company but content is energizing). Came across this interesting mobile payments startup that has very creatively solved the pain point of upgrading to new hardware for mechants as well as for end users (upgrading/waiting for NFC devices). Definitely on my radar to track.

TED Talk by Fabian Hemmert

An interesting TED Video Sunil Madhani shared with me. 

http://www.ted.com/talks/fabian_hemmert_the_shape_shifting_future_of_the_mobile_phone.html

The concluding remark was striking.
 "Rather than human getting much more technical in future, technology should get bit more human".

Very Cool stuff! This has very interesting possibilities for the visually challenged as well tho he doesn't talk about it. Think about it, for a blind person, an iphone is useless. With this some apps like navigation could start to become little more useful. Thumbs up!

Not too many places in Delhi for Mexican food. There's Salsa Salsa in Gurgaon and Amigo's in GK-2. Sancho's in South Ex is my favorite. Here are some reviews on the web:

3D Secure online payment system not secure, researchers say - security - PC World

Another example of how the perception of more security is sometimes misleading. The paragraph that struck me was:
As a reward for investing in the systems, merchants are less liable for fraudulent transactions and are stuck with fewer chargebacks. But banks such as the Royal Bank of Scotland are now holding consumers to a higher level of liability if fraudulent transactions occur using either system, said Steven J. Murdoch, a security researcher at the University of Cambridge.
