Since the details on his "credit card replacement" were sparse, what caught my eye as more disturbing was:

>Addressing "creepy comments": Schmidt laughed off questions about recent comments he made about Google "knowing where you live and what you do." His take: "In the new world, you have to label jokes."

I'd like to be laughing about that, but just can't quite.

I find it remarkable that they still let Schmidt talk on public after he's demonstrated a complete inability to keep sarcastic comments to himself
Along those lines; TFA: "There's a creepy line we don't want to cross," Schmidt said. "For example, we could track people in real time, or use face recognition -- but we won't."

... presumably, because that would be 'evil' and we can trust that they won't do that?
