Nov. 6, 2012: The MasterCard Display Card, manufactured by NagraID Security, looks and functions almost exactly like a regular credit card but features an embedded LCD screen and touch-sensitive buttons. MasterCard MasterCard has introduced a new high-tech credit card -- -- one that looks and functions almost exactly like an ordinary card, save for the integrated display and numerical keypad. The screen looks and acts like the display on a calculator; it should boost security by allowing the cardholder to generate single use numerical passwords for authentication. MasterCard calls it Display Card technology, and unveiled it Nov. 7 in collaboration with Standard Chartered Bank Singapore. “Instead of sending customers another bulky token, could we replace something which already exists in the customer’s wallet? ” asked V. Subba, regional head of retail banking products for Standard Chartered Bank. “That was when credit, debit and ATM cards, immediately came to mind.

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
