Apple Pay Now Available

17 Apple Pay Now Available Complex

Today, Apple drops iOS 8.1, its first major update to iOS 8. Nestled between iCloud Photo Library, Continuity, and new Handoff features, is Apple Pay—the company's attempt at making the iPhone an electronic wallet. This isn't the first time a company has tried to get us to lose our physical cards. Google used NFC-technology for its Google Wallet platform that it launched in 2011, but the availability of the technology and some hang ups (you had to a Google Prepaid card or Citi Mastercard account to use it) kept it from taking off at a large scale. And if you're going to get people to drop their credit cards for their phones, you're going to need a few things, namely, capable technology in the consumers hands and at the cash registers. Apple has one of these ingredients going for them right now, while the other still needs some work. The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus are the only iPhones that can use Apple Pay in stores (the iPhone 5S and 5C will be able to use it when paired with Apple Watch), and while we still don't know how many of each the company has sold in the first weeks since their release, it wouldn't be a stretch to say that tens of millions of the devices will be purchased around the world by the end of the year. Even if each customer wanted to use Apple Pay to buy goods, it doesn't mean they'll be able to. While big players like Nike, Footlocker, and McDonald's have committed to supporting Apple Pay, helping to bring the total of NFC-equipped stores to 220,000, there are millions of retail stores just around the U.S. As of today's launch, using Apple Pay might be similar to scanning a QR code—you'll be ready and willing to use it, but it might not be as often as you think. So it'll be smart to keep those cards in your wallet, for now. The time is right for this transition, though: after big hackings at Target and Home Depot, using Apple Pay (which keeps your credit card number anonymous in between transactions and will only work with Touch ID) may ease consumers' security concerns. In that way, Google Wallet users might benefit from Apple's push to get NFC in more stores, setting it up to become the primary form of payment years down the line. So, if you are an iPhone 6 or 6 Plus user, here's how to set up Apple Pay for payments at your local retail store: Open Passbook and press the "+" button in the upper right corner of the screen Choose if you want to add a credit or debit card You can either take a picture of your card or enter in the information manually Once the card's information is submitted, accept the terms of service There may be cards that need a separate level of verification, like logging into another app or an automated phone call Set your most used card as your "default" card Add as many cards as you'll like, and you can move around their order by tapping and dragging them on the screen If you're at a store with an NFC reader and want to use Apple Pay, hold up your phone to the reader with your thumb on Touch ID. A screen asking you to put your thumb on the Touch ID reader again should pop up, and once you do that, the payment will go through using your default card. If you hold your phone up to the NFC reader without your thumb on Touch ID, and you'll be able to select a different card before making your payment Here's a list of place you'll be able to use it: Aeropostale ​Apple Store Babies R Us BJ's Bloomingdale's Champs Sports Chevron Duane Reade ExtraMile Foot Locker FootAction House of Hoops Kids Foot Locker Lady Foot Locker Macy's McDonald's Nike Office Depot Panera Bread Petco RadioShack Run by Foot Locker Six:02 Sports Authority Subway Texaco Toys R Us Unleashed Walgreens Wegmans Whole Foods

Lenny Cooke

18 Lenny Cooke Shop Korn Productions

Professional sports is known as a true meritocracy, a field in which the cream really does rise to the top, as there's simply too much money at stake to operate in any other fashion. In uncommon instances, however, inefficiencies can occur and gifted players may fall through the cracks. Such is the story of Lenny Cooke. In 2001, Cooke was the number-one ranked high school basketball player in America, with future NBA greats LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony listed beneath him. Yet after declaring himself eligible for the 2002 NBA draft, Cooke, shockingly, ended up going undrafted, and became a journeyman playing in little-known leagues across the world. Today he lives in southern Virginia, a should-have-been-great who simply did not quite make it. The first documentary feature from American independent film scene fixtures Josh & Benny Safdie (Daddy Longlegs, The Pleasure of Being Robbed), LENNY COOKE explores the fascinating question of how, exactly, Cooke's seemingly assured future could go so awry.

$100 million Apartment

26 $100 million Apartment Most Expensive Apartment in America

$100 million – that is how much it will cost you to live in what is being touted as the most expensive apartment in America. This most expensive luxury home is located in New York City, that popular hub of pricey real estate. The apartment in question is a wraparound triplex penthouse located on W. 56th Street at the very top of the landmark City Spire condo building. The three-storied apartment offers magnificent views of Midtown Manhattan and Central Park from its terraces; being located on the 73rd floor (that is where the entrance is) of a building certainly has its advantages. The home holds another distinction – that of being the highest terraced apartment in the Big Apple. The home is large, and not just by New York standards; it is spread across 11,000 square feet and houses six bedrooms and nine bathrooms. Thus, large families and the occasional guests are hardly a problem if you happen to be living in this lovely property, Moreover, the terraces that offer 360-degree views of the city, take up 3,000 square feet of the total space. What that also means is that there is plenty of natural light streaming in to the home.   0x600-6 0x600-5 0x600-4 0x600-3 0x600-2 0x600-1 0x600
