1) Do you know what "roll 2d20" means?
2) If I said NCC1701-D to you would you know what that meant?
3) Do you visit and feel the need to comment on articles in a technology and gadget website.

If you can answer any two of these questions, or just question 3 then I'm sorry to break this to you but....GEEK!!!!!]]>Apr 16th 2010 9:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/16/apple-files-patent-application-for-nfc-e-tickets-with-extra-benefit/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/16/apple-files-patent-application-for-nfc-e-tickets-with-extra-benefit/

Why? Would it not be more convenient to be able to get concert tickets this way? And I'm going to assume you're misunderstanding this too - Apple is not trying to patent all e-ticketing technology. They're only trying to patent THEIR system. You would still be free to get any kind of e-tickets from any other source.]]>Apr 16th 2010 11:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/16/apple-files-patent-application-for-nfc-e-tickets-with-extra-benefit/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/16/apple-files-patent-application-for-nfc-e-tickets-with-extra-benefit/

I know it is much more popular worldwide, but I'll watch futbol when grown men who weren't even touched stop rolling on the ground like they just had their kneecaps shattered. I'll concede the point that the NFL has too many stoppages, but other than LT, most players suck it up and play through pain.

If you want non-stop action AND viciousness, try Aussie rules.]]>Apr 16th 2010 9:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/16/apple-files-patent-application-for-nfc-e-tickets-with-extra-benefit/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/16/apple-files-patent-application-for-nfc-e-tickets-with-extra-benefit/You might be in "America" but I'm in "America F&$* Yea".

What does that have to do with anything? He didn't say AFC > NFC in America. I didn't say Futbol > football in America. He expressed an opinion and I expressed a counter opinion.

Thanks for telling me what country you live in, though.

Oh, I completely agree about the Patriots sucking. They sucked particularly hard on February 3, 2002; February 1, 2004 and February 1, 2004.

And I have no doubt that Mr. Brady does cry all game. That explains his less than stellar career - what with playing through tears in his eyes and all. Must make it difficult for him to find his NFL MVP trophy at night. Oh wait! There it is behind his trophy wife!]]>Apr 16th 2010 11:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/16/apple-files-patent-application-for-nfc-e-tickets-with-extra-benefit/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/16/apple-files-patent-application-for-nfc-e-tickets-with-extra-benefit/

Are you stupid or something? This is for Apple's IMPLEMENTATION of it. This is only for Apple's system - not for e-tickets in general.

The London Underground has contactless ticket option.
The phone has the potential to become ticket/wallet/keys all in one.
