Article on NFC...

http://www.macdrifter.com/2012/09/nfc-is-a-crutch.html

This article has one interesting insight on the use and replacement for NFC.  I have always been a little distrustful of anything like an automated payment system that involves you nonchallantly waving your computing device near something. 

Talk about out of sight, out of mind.

I really like the proposed solution much better.  Use the device and the face for two factor authentication.  Display the amount and some one-time handshaking encryption on the screen.  Record the transaction.  How simple is that.
