Pay with your face
19-7-2013
A new payment system based on face recognition is introduced in Finland. The system is called Uniqul and guests can pay by showing their faces for the camera and wait for their profile to conform their purchase. No pin codes, credit cards, wallets or fingerprints anymore…. Uniqul wants to improve the safety and speed of transactions. We are curious how this technical system will develop the coming years. Who knows we will pay in a number of years with our face at a terrace or a hotel and we no longer need our wallet any more.
Cola-flavored wine
18-7-2013
The French winemaker Hausmann Famille has introduced a special wine on the French market: the Rouge Sucette, a cola-flavored wine. The wine is composed of 75% wine and 25% of a mix of sugar, water and coke. The wine contains 9% alcohol and should be served cold. Hausmann Famille wants to interest younger generations in France with this cola-wine. However, you wouldn’t expect a wine like this of the most leading wine country, sounds to me like ‘If you can’t beat them, join them’. ^Laura
