Yahoo adds a wallet.

Yahoo is currently offering wallet functionality on its web-site. They allow you to enter your credit card and then shop without entering it again. Oh boy.

Cure for stupidity
OK, I’m perfectly willing to admit that this is because my skull is a little too thick, but I don’t get the whole “wallet” concept. Other than saving me 2 seconds on typing in my CC number, what’s the benefit (aside from the huge security risks)?
Re: Cure for stupidity
You are right. It only saves a bit of retyping in exchange for an added security hazard. The real benefit is for the businesses that use the wallet concept. When buying becomes easier, sales go up.
