Nathan Massey shared an idea in O2 on February 08, 2010 00:36:

O2 should install contact-less payment terminals in all their 'O2 Academy' venues.

Wouldn't it be great if when you went to the bar at a O2 Academy, you could easily pay for your drinks by tapping your contact-less debit/credit card on a terminal on the top of the bar.

The only time I really use cash anymore is for drinks on nights out, which means queuing up at the cash point to get money out, and I hate it when I get home and end up with pockets full of change. It would be much quicker and more convenient to pay using a contact-less card.

Maybe O2 could start issuing O2 Money cards with contact-less chips in them so you can pay for your drinks with a O2 Money card?

Also, seeing as contact-less payments will be coming to mobile phones in the next few years, it would be a good idea for O2 to have contact-less payment terminals installed and ready to go for when people want to start paying for things using their phones.

Might be of interest to those of you with shoddy signal,

Nathan Massey replied on February 05, 2010 21:29 to the idea "Remove the 'Your programmes list' page and replace it with 'Recommendations'." in Tank Top TV:

I think it makes sense for the dashboard to be the first thing you see after you login.

Still not a fan of the whole, "here's a list of every programme, tell us what you don't watch" system.

Surely it would be easier for a user to just tell you what they do want to watch instead, rather than click 'I don't watch this' on thousands of shows.

I get where you're coming from in terms of the programme list being there to introduce new shows, but surely this is where the 'recommendations' feature comes in?

Nathan Massey replied on February 05, 2010 21:19 to the problem "Peep Show on TTV says no episodes are available to watch, yet they are all available on 4oD." in Tank Top TV:

Think i've found a bug on the Peep Show page, season 5 is a the bottom of the list for some reason.

Add the ability to add favourite filling stations, not just favourite searches to the iPhone app.

It would be great if the PetrolPrice iPhone app gave you the ability to add petrol stations to a list of 'favourites', just like you can do on the current version with 'favourite searches'. This would let me add the 4 or 5 stations I would realistically be willing to fill up at, and quickly see which one is the cheapest.

Nathan Massey marked one of Karen's replies in PetrolPrices.com as useful. Karen replied to the idea "feedback as requested".

Nathan Massey replied on February 02, 2010 19:40 to the idea "Some petrol prices are quite out of date" in PetrolPrices.com:

For me this is the most important thing about this app. Prices must be accurate for the app to have any value whatsoever.

Nathan Massey replied on February 02, 2010 19:39 to the idea "iPhone app ideas: distance to cheapest, road searches, mpg, supermarkets, discounts" in PetrolPrices.com:

Love the idea about working out distance to each station, then using the MPG value of your vehicle to see if it's worth going the extra distance for the cheaper price, or whether it would actually be cheaper overall to get your fuel from a more expensive local station, as driving the extra distance to the cheaper filling station would waste more money than you would save.

Nathan Massey replied on February 02, 2010 19:35 to the problem "Iphone App does not retrieve nearest garages from postcode search" in PetrolPrices.com:

I'm having the same issue but using GPS. The app correctly defines my GPS location, but then gives me prices for petrol stations that are miles away, completely skipping over the 3 or 4 local ones.

I'm guessing that the app is trying to just show my the cheapest stations within the defined radius, but I would rather see all the stations in the radius, regardless of price, when in the map view.

Nathan Massey reported a problem in PetrolPrices.com on February 02, 2010 19:32:

ASDA Glasshoughton (Castleford) is not listed on PetrolPrices.

There is a ASDA superstore in Glasshoughton (near Castleford) which has a self-serve petrol station on-site, however it doesn't show up on PetrolPrices. This is disappointing as ASDA are generally the cheapest for fuel in the area, so by not listing it on the website, people are probably paying over the odds for fuel at nearby filling stations.

The details for the store are here.

Nathan Massey asked a question in Barclays on January 26, 2010 14:33:

How do I find my bank accounts IBAN number using online banking?

I'm trying to find out what my bank account's IBAN number is, but it doesn't seem to be listed anywhere on my online banking account.

According to this page it's shown on your paper statement, but I just shred those as soon as I get them, as they are completely unnecessary.

I'm going to call Barclays directly to find out what mine is, but this is something that should be available via online banking really.

Nathan Massey shared an idea in BBC on January 22, 2010 18:29:

BBC iPlayer should offer a HTML5 player instead of the standard Flash player.

Now that YouTube has gone live with a HTML5 video player, it would be great if the BBC could do the same with iPlayer and support the movement to a open web.

Nathan Massey shared an idea in Apple on January 22, 2010 01:17:

iWork.com should allow you to create and edit Pages, Numbers and Keynote files.

It would be great if iWork.com worked kind of like Google Doc's and allowed you to create and edit Pages, Numbers and Keynote files through a web interface.

Nathan Massey shared an idea in Apple on January 22, 2010 01:15:

Apple should allow you to open files from your iDisk on iWork.com

I think it would be cool if you could open files from your MobileMe iDisk on iWork.com, so you can share them with other people and allow them to comment on them.

Apple should add some features of QuickTime X to iTunes.

I love the new QuickTime X in Snow Leopard and it would be great to see some of it's features added into the next version of iTunes (iTunes X?).

The first thing is the borderless playback feature, where the playback control and the window's title bar disappear, just leaving the video playing without any clutter.

The other thing I would like to see added to iTunes is the option to 'zoom' content in a 4:3 aspect ratio when in full screen to get rid of those black bars that appear either side of the video.
