    Lada's design looks nice otherwise but it has a rather annoying glitch at least for Safari on 800x600.

  13. Not afraid of these myself. on RFID MasterCard · · Score: 1

    Don't know... Looking at the picture on that website, I'm fairly sure we use something very similar with the public transportation at least here in Helsinki. You can get one of these transportation cards and have it loaded up with either money or time that can then be used to pay for public transportation travel fares. In the past we just had picture-equipped travel cards that were the equivalent of the time option in the new cards. The money option equivalent was, naturally, real money(you can still do that, don't get me wrong) or buying little paper tickets that allow for multiple trips. Imho the new system has worked a lot better and I don't see people complaining about any lack of privacy or other junk like that. I've never heard of anyone's travel card id or whatever they use to identify those cards being stolen so I don't know if there's any real risk of something like that PayPass being read either without the consent of the owner. Of course people may have a lot more motivation develop ways to read a mastercard than a transportation card. Still, you have to keep the transport cards pretty still while they're being read or the reader will fail. Thus I don't think I'd feel exceptionally insecure carrying one of those in my wallet. Dunno.
