| Posted: 10 May 2012 08:10 AM PDT In my part of the world, Credit Card scams are an everyday occurrence. So the companies have gotten smart and allocate us a one-time-pin (OTP) for online shopping but still have to wise-up to forgery and misuse in the physical world. Safe Card is a protective option that allows you to use a Credit Card only after you unlock it with a password. Offering a second tier of security is the option to enter the exact amount to the card interface, so that only the specified amount is charged. I just feel that you can't be too safe with plastic money, heck I even have an opaque tape hiding my CVV number! Designers: Kyoung Mo Baek, Jang Won Park & Jang Hyun Woo

| Posted: 10 May 2012 05:41 AM PDT Unless you live in a vibrant city like Kula Lumpur, where you have such ornate streetlamps, chances are that you are stuck with drab energy draining streetlamps. Parasite is a Photovoltaic Lamp that parasitically hooks onto existing lamps and scaffoldings, primping the old. The PV cell system is modeled on the system designed by Spectrolab. As the designer explains, "The cells are high in efficiency and use triple junction PV cells, brought to earth after extensive use in space. Their power depends on their nanotech wafer of GaAs (gallium arsenide), a modern material that has nothing to do with common Si (silicon) photovoltaic. These cells work at atmosphere 1 with extreme efficiency and can be forced further with a Fresnel lens, supporting a light intensity up to 1000 suns if correctly refrigerated. I estimated a 260-watt peak production in normal conditions while just covering far less than a square meter surface with these marvelous GaAs cells. Parasite tilts from a relaxed neutral position to 30° in order to harvest energy at its maximum, LED lights grant low consumption and produce an abundant number of lux." Designer: Mark Beccaloni

| Posted: 10 May 2012 12:01 AM PDT More of an entertaining accent than a truly useful tool, the Animal Pocket Knife is for adults who still like their toys! Similar to a Swiss army knife, a variety of stainless steel heads, tails and legs fold out to reveal some of Africa’s native wildlife like the giraffe, antelope and rhinoceros. Perfect for storytelling! Designer: David Suhami

| Posted: 10 May 2012 12:01 AM PDT The Social Jukebox offers a clever way of sharing music between friends that’s reminiscent of the interactive experience of using an old school juke. Users can load their favorite tunes on wearable, wooden “tokens” that easily attach to clothing, jewelry or keychains. No more switching out iPods at parties- simply place the wooden pieces into the jukebox’s slots to mix and share! Check the vid to see how it works! Designer: Andrew Pairman
