Me: "Should I buy this new laptop?"
Display: "You have negative 17,038 dollars and 32 cents."
Me: "Damn it!"(Depressed, buys new laptop to make myself feel better.)
Me: *Smiling* (for now atleast)

The card actually has to be plugged into a wall outlet to generate a code.]]>Oct 29th 2007 10:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/29/next-gen-credit-cards-to-feature-miniature-displays-and-keypads/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/29/next-gen-credit-cards-to-feature-miniature-displays-and-keypads/Oct 29th 2007 11:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/29/next-gen-credit-cards-to-feature-miniature-displays-and-keypads/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/29/next-gen-credit-cards-to-feature-miniature-displays-and-keypads/
I know it is encrypted and all that but what about the not so fortunate security breaches that eventually occur because of the hardwired bug "homosapiens".

This is a must have for me.]]>Oct 29th 2007 11:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/29/next-gen-credit-cards-to-feature-miniature-displays-and-keypads/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/29/next-gen-credit-cards-to-feature-miniature-displays-and-keypads/Oct 29th 2007 12:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/29/next-gen-credit-cards-to-feature-miniature-displays-and-keypads/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/29/next-gen-credit-cards-to-feature-miniature-displays-and-keypads/
Plus, it's a lot more convenient, because I get those card#s ONLINE -- so I can just copy/paste them, and don't have to mess with a tiny display, and retyping numbers.

DiscoverCard has the deskshop -- free one-time-use card#s online -- been using those for years.

American Express tried that too, a few years ago -- I still have the free smart-card reader somewhere.

Personally, I feel having a credit-card that requires a PIN to use is LESS secure than one that doesn't. If I get mugged, and have this thing stolen from me, there's a chance I'll wind up with a gun to my head demanding to know the PIN. OTOH, if they take my wallet now, they leave thinking they can rob me blind, while I make a couple of phone calls to have my cards canceled.]]>Oct 29th 2007 1:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/29/next-gen-credit-cards-to-feature-miniature-displays-and-keypads/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/29/next-gen-credit-cards-to-feature-miniature-displays-and-keypads/Oct 29th 2007 3:53PM
