Credit Cards and Coke become friends

You're probably sitting at the computer wondering what the hell I am on about with the headline, but a Masterton firm has recently created new software that is going to allow vending machines to be able to accept credit card as payment.(source: http://www.stuff.co.nz/4196740a28.html) Now while this seems like a great innovation if you don't have cash on hand, it is not going to be economically viable. Most items from these machines cost no more than $4 and a transaction incurrs a $1 fee??

Regarding today's lecture, I found the concept of creating a film without any post production, sets etc etc fascinating and it is great in theory but I think it went a bit too far. If the director isn't getting any credit then are the cast members? Shouldn't they all get equal say? I was interested to see that they didn't go so far as to involve all members of the crew in the decision making process ie// where to shoot, casting etc etc.
