Did you know there was a "Cartes & IDentification" event in Paris next month? Neither did I. Now we've all learned something. And to swell that brain a little bit more, I'll tell you something else. One of the new innovations receiving its debut there is the "Credit Card Embedded Authentication Device".

This basically means shoving a display and even keypad into an otherwise ordinary credit card. You can enter your PIN on the actual card, to get a one-use code which will add a further layer of safeguards to online and mobile banking and payment. Fancy that.
