Microsoft persists with 2D barcodes - but will it fly this time?

I wish I could say it'll work - and yes it does work in Japan and has been
trialled elsewhere - but to me barcodes are both too much trouble (too many
steps, I just want one click - or less!) and look, umm, old hat. Maybe they
just need to look like the 21st century rather than an update of what we
had last century? This century is RFIDs - can we just have that
functionality embedded in handy locations and wave our cell phone close by
please? Yes, I know, we aren't going to be climbing billboards to get close
enough, but we could have nearby plinths, proximity RFIDs and a simple
transaction step - http://snipurl.com/ne4fr
