What mobile payment means for personal data security and privacy?

When we are thinking about data security and mobile payment, we must know that there is the new wave of discussion about privacy on the Internet. The mobile telephone can become the new combination of wallet and ID-papers, and when we are thinking the things that way, we must know that this makes strong identification of user easier and harder to break than ever before. The mobile telephone can get the biometric identification algorithm like fingerprints and face image from official authorities, and then this telephone can use them for verifying the telephone user's information, what it would get from the camera and fingerprint detector.


And when the user wants to take new telephone in use, this person takes the selfie and then gives the fingerprint to that telephone, and if they match with the data, what is stored in the police files, the telephone can be used as the strong ID-card, what is very safe for payments. If some wrong person takes this telephone in the hand, would it make alarm?


Of course, hackers can break this system, but same way normal credit card can be tracked. When we are thinking about the privacy of the user of this system, we must say that every shopping and other payments, where is used credit- or bank cards can be tracked to some particular person. Same way the paper money can be tracked by using serial numbers and compiling them with the bank cards, what were used in bank automatics.


Privacy is the very interesting question, and always we forget the golden rule of the data security. Never make exceptions, and if you want to keep some payments hidden, don't use Market's customer cards, where you can collect points. And ever buy any of the products, what you want to hide, from the place, where other people knows you. The persons who are looking targets for surveillance would also look for exceptions in the way of payment. If some person uses credit- or bank card all the time, the use of the cash automatic would give the tip for those persons, that this person is planned to buy something, what this person wants to hide.


And as you see, the privacy is the problematic thing, bank or credit cards are the safe way to pay because even if they were stolen, the thief would not do anything with them if they would not get the PIN-code in their hands. The big number of cash makes person easy target for robbery and thief, and this means, that even if cash is safe in the point of view of privacy, but also that makes the person exposed to physical violence.


This is one point for mobile pay and mobile id-card. And they might be real in the near future when we are talking about the situation, that we are leaving our wallets home, and use the mobile telephones in every action, what were used by cards, which were found in wallets. Technology for that advantage already exists, and the attitudes with some limitations of laws what limits to delivering official data to the mobile systems are limiting the use of the mobile telephone for every action, what was used by the ban- and ID-cards.

MIT's tractor beam can make the new types of SASER systems possible

   "This chip-based "tractor-beam," which uses an intensely focused beam of light to capture and manipulate biological particles without damaging the cells, could help biologists study the mechanisms of diseases."(Interesting Engineering, MIT’s Star Wars-inspired ‘tractor beam’ uses light to capture, manipulate cells) MIT's tractor beam can make the new types of SASER systems possible. The tractor beam just hovers the nanoparticle in air or medium, and then the laser or some other electromagnetic system transports oscillation into those particles. The ability to make cells and other particles hover in the system makes it possible to create particles whose energy level or resonance frequencies are accurately calculated things.  That thing makes it possible to create things that transmit wave movement accurately and cleanly. This is one version of the use of a tractor beam. Modern tractor beams are like acoustic tweezers where sound waves lock the object in its cr

The new observations tell that the thunderstorms form gamma-rays. That could make gamma-ray lasers possible.

That could make gamma-ray lasers possible. The process has been observed by the NASA (Lockheed) ER-2 research plane, which is a modified U-2 spy plane. The gamma-ray formation in thunderstorms. Where lightning and electric fields release electrons that impact the air molecules and water droplets is an interesting thing. That thing opens the route to solving many mysteries.  "The general physics behind how thunderstorms create high-energy flashes of gamma radiation is not a mystery. As thunderstorms develop, swirling drafts drive water droplets, hail, and ice into a mixture that creates an electric charge much like rubbing a balloon on your shirt. Pos

Chinese innovations and space lasers are interesting combinations.

Above: "Tiangong is China's operational space station located in low Earth orbit. (Image credit: Alejomiranda via Getty Images)" (Scpace.com, China's space station, Tiangong: A complete guide) Chinese are close to making nuclear-powered spacecraft.  Almost every day, we can read about Chinese technical advances. So are, the Chinese more innovative than Western people? Or is there some kind of difference in culture and morale between Western and Chinese societies? The Chinese superiority in hypersonic technology is one of the things that tells something about the Chinese way of making things.  In China, the mission means. And the only thing that means is mission. That means that things like budgets and safety orders are far different from Western standards. If some project serves the Chinese communist party and PLA (People's Liberation Army) that guarantees unlimited resources for those projects. Chinese authorities must not care about the public opinion.  If we th
