Those guys have to deal (sort of) with the world as it is, rather than as it should be. Here, I get to decide what should have been news-worthy (but wasn't) or to rewrite history a little bit based upon the impact of tiny little events that everyone overlooked. Better still, I get to point and say "you should overlook that one!"

He says McDonald's is now the second largest merchant card processor.

At a recent PCI conference, JJ (easier than saying Jesper Jurcenoks, and a nickname he provides), heard a line in passing he wishes he came up with.
