Interesting how the interviewer's immediate response to Dorsey was "hacking is a crime".

WOW - Square Wallet appears to be an exact implementation of FaceCash!

How is Aaron going to respond to this? I am sure he is going to be pretty upset.

The bigger question I had was whether they will be sued, see Patent 8396808, "Method and system for transferring an electronic payment" - Claim #8

8. The method of claim 2, wherein the step of communicating identity confirmation information includes sending an image associated with an account ID, wherein the image comprises a photograph of an owner of the purchaser account, and receiving confirmation from the merchant terminal that the image associated with the account ID matches that of the purchaser.

Oh! I didnt know he had a patent on FaceCash.

If he's smart - he'll do a licensing deal with them. (this way he will get money)

That video/site is farking broken. I have tried to watch the vid 3 times - and it pauses, doesn't load or restarts from the beginning.

GRRRRR.
