Dissolving dresses and underwater mopeds..

Take this example: three people (a father, his 13 year old son, and a 20 year old accompliss) stole 14 cell phones from a Public Works department; however, the cell phones had GPS units so the police simply followed the signal to the source when one was used.

Source: Engadget iCache is a device that allows you to store all of your credit cards (all? How many do you think I have?) on a single device. The device contains a magnetic stripe which can replicate the signal for any card you have stored in the device. Apparently it will store anything that has a magnetic strip, making identity theft quick and simple (did I say that?). Good reminder to never let your cards out of your sight or possession.

Behind the mirror you place your webcam, giving the impression to the other person that you are talking directly to them instead of at their chest. The technique has been used by broadcasters to display the text they are reading in front of the camera they are speaking into. The device retails for $100(US).

The materials don't dissolve instantly so they will last an entire evening of sweating on the dance floor. The scientists hope to apply this technology to things like bottles that will dissolve in hot water for easy disposal.

If the iCache catches on at all, I expect it to very quickly be added to the Visa/MasterCard list of security standards.

Clause 48b: "Do not allow customers to pay for things without an actual credit card... stupid."
