Dynamics has unveiled new payment cards which offer enhanced security and flexibility, while working with existing point-of-sale (POS) magnetic stripe readers, within the current payment infrastructure. The cards include the Electronic Stripe — the world’s first fully card-programmable magnetic stripe. The Dynamics MultiAccount has two buttons on the face of the card. A printed account number and a light source are next to each button. The user selects an account by pressing one of the buttons. The card visually indicates the selection by turning on the light source associated with the selected account. Additionally, the magnetic-stripe information associated with the selected account is written to the Electronic Stripe. The card can then be swiped at any magnetic stripe reader. The Dynamics Hidden has five buttons on the face of the card and a paper-thin flexible display. The display hides a portion of a cardholder’s payment card number. To turn the device on, the user must enter a personal unlocking code into the card. If the user enters in the correct unlocking code, the card will then visually display the user’s payment card number so that the user can read the number for online transactions. Additionally, the Electronic Stripe is then populated with the correct magnetic information so that the card can also be used with magnetic stripe readers. After a period of time, the display turns off and the Electronic Stripe erases itself — thus removing payment information from the surface of the card. This renders it useless if lost or stolen.

Looking for a great camera? Then go mirrorless. Serious camera enthusiasts used to drag around digital single-lens reflex cameras (DSLRs). Such a camera uses a mechanical mirror system and pentaprism to direct light from the lens to an optical viewfinder on the back of the camera. Mirrorless cameras dump the optical view-finder and use an electronic view-finder — usually a digital screen on the back of the camera. With no mirror or pentaprism, these cameras are smaller but still accept interchangeable lenses, similar to a DSLR. Samsung’s mirrorless NX100 features an APS-C size sensor for quality images and a 3-inch AMOLED screen. It also offers an i-Function lens which allows users to control the camera through the lens. The NX100 has an ISO of 6400 for action shots and it supports HD movie recording at 720p.
The Wind Top AE2420 3D, is the world’s first 3D touch screen all-in-one (AIO) PC. Unlike 3D TVs, the Wind Top AE2420 3D can bring almost any 2D content — from home movies to DVDs and Blu-ray — to life in 3D. The Wind Top AE2420 3D is also the world’s first multi-touch AIO that’s capable of running 3D games, and showing 3D photos and videos taken with the new 3D cameras on the market. It provides 3D graphics performance with the ATI Mobility Radeon HD5730 discrete graphics chip that supports DirectX 11. The Wind Top AE2420 3D is powered by Intel Core i7. The large 24” full high definition (1080p) multi-touch display, flicker-free 120Hz LED panel, and exclusive wireless 3D shutter glasses provide comfortable 3D video entertainment. Fast data transfer speeds are achieved through its USB 3.0 technology, which supports transfer rates up to ten times faster than USB 2.0.
