The JoyPoll was...

Would you switch stores if the one you're in didn't do Apple Pay or Google Wallet?

  • No! Paying by plain old credit card doesn't take that long, sheesh!
  • I might if I find that smartphone-based system are faster and easier.
  • Definitely!
  • Definitely, whenever I get Apple Pay in my country.
  • Who buys stuff in brick and mortar stores anymore?
  • I would if the store chain was evil enough to turn off NFC just to spite the competition!

About us...

The Joy of Tech is a comic about technology and pop culture, created by Nitrozac and Snaggy, and updated three times a week. We like to feature the people and events that are making today's tech and pop culture news.

We've been making comics on the web since early 1999, and The Joy of Tech is now in its 12th year. We're very proud to be featured regularly on places like re/code!

We currently live on Vancouver Island, Canada, where we have a lovely perspective of the silicon valleys to the south. We make The Joy of Tech using Apple computers, mostly on our MacBook Pros, running Mac OS X. We use software from Apple, Adobe, BBedit, OpenOffice.org, and others, including Microsoft (yep, we do use Microsoft Office for Mac on occasion). Nitrozac uses a Wacom tablet to draw her illustrations.
