This is interesting, not a mobile thing again but it’s left me wondering how much work would be involved in making this a mobile friendly service:

www.payoffline.com

If the customer has to print a bar-code they then take to the shop it sounds perfect to be hacked (in a nice way) to support sending the bar-code to the mobile! It gets rid of the need to waste more trees by printing stuff out.

It’s a thought anyway and nice to see the off-line payments folk changing their business model to a more open and attractive one for merchants of all sizes. Years ago I looked at accepting PayZone or similar for the ringtone sites, they wanted money up front, fees each month and offered worse out-payments than the networks.

Now for merchants there’s limited free signup and out payments that spank SMS. I’d like this for the ringtones and for the hosting, it’d be sweet to accept cash over the counter at thousands of retail outlets.

Chargeback free payments up to £999, the possibility of making it work on a mobile too!

This sounds pretty cool if you ask me.

Just been chilling on the settee watching utter junk on TV when all of a sudden there was a bit of a bump, followed by another, another bump was followed by a rumble by which point the whole house started wobbling and did so for a good few seconds.

WTF - this is Loughborough, Leicestershire, hardly what I consider to be a likely place for earthquake rumblings…..

Odd, spooky and to be honest a bit scary in a “I have absolutely no control over this” way.

Is anyone else suffering from iThumb, the syndrome that is a sore thumb due to scrolling around the iPhone?

I can’t be alone. Any other iThumb sufferers out there?

There’s a big update on the horizon but this is a security patch.

[code]foreach($_GET as $value => $get){
$_GET[”$value”] = htmlentities(htmlspecialchars(strip_tags($get)));
}
[/code]A hacking site today found a XSS vulnerability in the plugin, if you use my plugin please just add this under $mobile_plugin_version = ‘1.2′; and keep posted for a full update and version 1.3

Shock at $85k mobile phone bill

It was a bit daft of him to be browsing high definition movies through his mobile data plan!
