There was this idea of having a panic-pin for each card that will work as well as the normal pin, but which triggers a silent alarm when used, marks transcation as fraud or something like that.
Cool idea, i don't know why it never got implemented
Why not write an pop3 interface to yahoo (hotmail,... etc.) webmail;-) Like a local server which then talks to webmail.... Of course there is a problem that data should be retrieved by parsing HTML, which may often change (design), but I don't think that i.e. Yahoo! is changing its design so often..
But, when I think better, it's not worth it.Except if you gave your yahoo mail address to that good-looking girl you met last month, and you are still waiting her mail;-)

Can it self-destruct itselft? By placing something like a mirror in front of it, it could theoretically melt itself?
Does it use x-10 wireless cameras? :)))
