Why do people still listen to Bruce or have anything to do with him?
He has made legit connections within the Bitcoin communities. He is still a middle ground between parties it seems, and it will probably be that way for a while.

We've been Bruced!
In a few days time he'll announce that the trial was a huge success and that there are going to be bigger and better trials - all without revealing the company concerned.
And the restaurant chain will be opening up a new buffet in Pattaya.

I heard it from a reliable source that THIS IS THE PLACE:
Fuk mi, we now accept BitCoins, may I take your order?
Fuk mi, we now accept BitCoins, may I take your order?
Though, technically, I think the pronunciation would be "Whok me?" (I think fu sounds like who there)

Makes me thing you could build a decent POS terminal out of a relativly cheap tablet though
Square already does that, quite successfully.
As in hundred dollar android tablet in an enclosure, not a 500+ dollar ipad with squares dongle(although said dongle would work on any tablet to my knowledge nothing special about a rfid sensor outputting via the mic in on a device)
I have not seen a $100 tablet that was any good. They are slow, have substandard touch screens to the point of unworkability, as well as old versions of Android. I have tried a few. Is there anything out there for $100 that is really usable on a long term basis?
I have seen $300 tablets that are just fine though.
i've used a few of the cheaper ones and you're right i wouldnt use it day to day but as a POS terminal they should be fine(no real need for multitouch or anything fancy)

Bruce is an easy target, but he's trying to promote bitcoin. Give him a little slack.
No, don't. Once a con man, always a con man.

I think I have this figured out.
Bruce has a friend who owns a Chinese restaurant that said she would be interested in accepting Bitcoin.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=printpage;topic=1788.0
Most likely he has showed her the new bit-pay mobile app that makes it easy to accept Bitcoin for stores and she is probably setting it up this weekend.
So...a national chain restaurant will be accepting Bitcoins.
It would be like a Subway store owner putting the bit-pay app on his phone and accepting Bitcoins at his store and the story being "Subway restaurant now accepts Bitcoin!"

tl;dr Bruce' friend owns four Panda Express franchises.
