I don't doubt this (same experience for me for 3GS-->4S) but I wonder how much of the improvement is actually because the battery in your old phone lost its ability to hold a charge during the time you had it.

I thought the mobile networks and the payment networks had crippled its usability.

I would like to say that is always true, but it seems like the east coast route of Amtrak has it the last car in one direction and right behind the engine in the other direction (that is North/South).

But what about other routes, generally? Anyone with insight let me know.

I think that it's in the back one direction and the front the other because they don't turn the NE corridor trains around.

Lifehacker has a bunch of articles about doing nifty things with NFC like hacking old hotel key cards to automate your phone to do things like turn off Bluetooth & GPS and turning the ringer off when you put your phone on your bedside table, with a different key card in the bathroom so it will crank up the ringer volume and launch Pandora when you hop in the shower. Only thing that's ever made me envy the Android folks.

Oddly, so did I.

Stop putting those crazy ideas in my head, then, with your NFC and such.

These things are coming.

It'll come to the iPhone eventually, too, assuming that NFC gets over the market acceptance hurdle.

Don't mess with one of my heroes.

I quite enjoyed the food in Shanghai. What did you find to be wrong with it? Disclaimer: I ate mostly fancy while there, but I did go for soup dumplings (which I could have gotten in LA)...

We had amazing food there too. The fancy (for us hotel food) is like fancy here, and quite safe. 2 of us got food poisoning though at a restaurant that seemed more a nice little neighborhood place, and a few other places we walked in were quite dicey. I think the restaurants the people eat in are not places we would find safe to eat at.

We had the same experience with soup dumplings. Expected heaven and the several times we had them they didn't equal the Shanghai whatever place on Mulberry in NYC.

For the record, I used it in 2012 to buy a cup of coffee at Peet's, and it was pretty cool. Shortly thereafter, Verizon blocked it. Thanks Verizon!
