VW 'Tarik' 6.181 Unit Mobil di Singapura
Detik.com - Akibat adanya permasalahan pada sistem transmisi DSG, pabrikan Jerman, VW langsung menarik 6.181 unit VW di Singapura.
Seperti dilansir autoevolution, Minggu (5/5/2013), VW meyakinkan kerusakan yang terdapat tidak akan membahayakan setiap pengendara. Namun memang transmisi yang rusak ini bisa mengurangi performa yang akan dihasilkan.
Para pemilik VW di Singapura pun bisa langsung menyambangi diler resmi VW disana, dan akan mendapat penggantian secara gratis. Memang hingga saat ini belum diketahui secara pasti part bagian mana yang akan diganti.
Namun diyakini VW hanya akan mengganti bagian mecatronic yang terdapat didalam gear.

MasterCard rolls out credit card with display and keypad
Cnet.com - Next time you receive a new card from your bank, don't be surprised if it has a keypad and LCD on it.
It's MasterCard's new "Display Card", which basically combines the usual credit/debit or ATM card with an authentication token. The authentication portion features a touch-sensitive keypad and LCD display--hence the name "Display Card"--for reflecting a one-time password (OTP).
Yet, according to MasterCard, the "Display Card" looks and functions almost exactly like a regular credit, debit or ATM card.
Currently, many banks issue a separate authentication token for online banking services, particularly high-risk transactions, such as payments or transfers above a certain amount, adding payees or changing personal details. The new 2-in-1 cards would hence eliminate the hassle of carrying a separate authentication device--good news for guys who carry their whole lives in their pockets.
Besides generating OTPs, the "Display Card" may be able to show your available credit balance, reward points or even recent transactions in the future.
Along with some European banks, only Standard Chartered has announced the Display Card for some of its customers in Singapore for now.

Jesus cosmetics prove too cheeky for Singapore chain
Want to use Jesus hand cream? Well, you can't anymore. At least not in Singapore.
A Singapore-based retailer pulled a line of cheeky Jesus branded cosmetics from its shelves after complaints from irate Catholics, the local newspaper reported on Tuesday.
The cosmetics, called "Lookin' Good for Jesus", is made by American makeup company Blue Q. It was sold in three Topshop outlets in Singapore.
A Singapore-based retailer pulled a line of cheeky Jesus branded cosmetics from its shelves after complaints from irate Catholics, the local newspaper reported on Tuesday.
The cosmetics, called "Lookin' Good for Jesus", is made by American makeup company Blue Q. It was sold in three Topshop outlets in Singapore.
Wing Tai Holdings, which manages the Topshop brand in the city-state, pulled the items off its shelves late last month after some customers complained, the Straits Times newspaper reported.
"We don't want to offend our customers," a company spokesman was quoted by the paper as saying.
Reuters could not get a comment from Wing Tai as its offices were closed for the Lunar New Year holiday.
The Straits Times said Nick Chui, 27, a Catholic, spotted the items in a Topshop outlet and then wrote a letter to Wing Tai last month saying that the products trivialized Jesus Christ and Christianity.
"There are also sexual innuendoes in the messages and the way Jesus is portrayed in these products," the paper quoted Chui as saying.
Some of the products sold include, a "virtuous vanilla" lip balm, hand and body cream and a mirrored Jesus statuette. They feature a drawing of Jesus flanked by two adoring women and carry slogans such as "Get tight with Christ", "Get His Attention" and "Redeem Your Reputation and More".
Blue Q also carries other tongue-in-cheek items such as a "Believe in God Breath Spray".
In Singapore, about 50 percent of the population are Buddhists and 14.6 percent are Christian.
