Haha, never noticed it on my PC when submitting it. I could not find an English article anywhere, finally stumbled on this page.
The Wikipedia page has a short paragraph as of yesterday, so that might be a better source.

They already do, with mixed results. This[1] is a coverage of a collaps of a parking structure in the city of Eindhoven, the Netherlands. Although it appears the plastic-ball filled concrete was not the cause, but they way they incorporated it into the building was.

Exactly. What I'd like to have is a tool that analyzes what I do, and reminds me what shortcuts I can use to be more efficient. It would be awesome to have that on my smartphone screen like the solution on display here.

Come visit Holland. Chip+PIN takes as long as it takes to enter the pin (max5s). Only some mobile terminals in low reception spots take between 10-20s.
And now with wireless PIN transactions less than €25 are instantaneous. And above again take the time to enter the PIN.
