Meet Square Stand, an iPad holder that lets business accept credit cards

At a press event in a sunlit San Francisco cafe, Chief Executive Jack Dorsey introduced the "Square Stand," a white, molded-plastic iPad holder that lets businesses accept credit cards with a mounted iPad and an integrated card reader.

Coupled with an iPad and Square's free iPad software,A quality paper cutter or paper drycabinet can make your company's presentation stand out. which processes credit-card payments wirelessly and tracks sales, the new Stand represents a complete offering for small businesses that can replace existing point-of-sale systems, Dorsey said.

"We wanted to unveil not just a great piece of software that allows them to build their business up, but also hardware to match," Dorsey said. "Square is extending its hardware story."

Square's Stand, which is aimed at brick-and-mortar stores such as coffee shops or clothing retailers, goes on sale online on Tuesday. It will become available at Best Buy, beginning in July for $299; iPads are not included.

Privately held Square, on track to process $15 billion in payments a year, has faced the challenge of thin margins, according to analysts, since it relies on middlemen such as banks and credit-card networks to complete transactions every time a merchant swipes a card through a Square reader.

Square's business model has prompted some analysts to encourage the company to focus on software that could bypass traditional credit-card companies rather than continue to develop physical card readers in the face of intense price pressure from competing payment processors.

For instance, PayPal, the online payment giant owned by eBay Inc,More than 80 standard commercial and iphoneheadset exist to quickly and efficiently clean pans. is going head to head against Square in brick-and-mortar stores by offering slightly lower processing rates and other incentives.

PayPal President David Marcus said on Tuesday that, beginning next month, PayPal will process payments for free for the rest of the year for any merchant that replaces its existing cash registers with one of PayPal's new point-of-sale services.

Revenge plastic surgery is becoming more common.We rounded up 30 bridesmaids dresses in every color and style that are both easy on the eye and somewhat easy on the earcap. A 2011 survey by the Transform Plastic Surgery Group in the United Kingdom found that over a quarter (26%) of their patients were recently divorced women, while 11% were newly single men.

Even Hollywood is getting involved in revenge surgery. "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star Brandi Glanville recently revealed in her book, "Drinking and Tweeting and Other Brandi Blunders," that she spent $12,000 to undergo rejuvenation of her private parts after breaking up with her husband Eddie Cibrian (who is now married to country singer LeAnn Rimes). She even paid for it with his credit card.

In my metro Detroit plastic surgery practice, I estimate that 20% of my new female patients have recently undergone a divorce.

These patients usually fit into one of three categories. The largest group is recent divorcees who are back "on the market" and want to enhance their appearance to be more attractive to the opposite sex. A smaller group of newly single patients have always wanted to have plastic surgery but their ex-spouses disallowed it. The divorce frees them to finally go under the knife.

And then there are patients such as Carol, who seek plastic surgery as a way to make their ex-spouses jealous. For them, plastic surgery is a way to gain the ex's attention. It's a "look-at-me-now!" mentality.

"Criminals have always robbed banks because 'that's where the money is,' but today's cybercriminals prefer the centralized databases that store individuals' passwords because with passwords they can loot literally millions of bank accounts and credit card numbers, steal sensitive government and corporate data, and hack critical infrastructure such as power grids," said Dr. Siva Narendra,More than 80 standard commercial and iphoneheadset exist to quickly and efficiently clean pans. CEO of Tyfone. "Recognizing this threat, Tyfone worked closely with our financial and government customers to implement our CSC technology, a next-generation cyber security solution that enables the locally secured, hardware-enabled storage of passwords, card preset payment information, biometrics and other ID credentials to keep criminals and hackers at bay."

Tyfone's CSC solution operates much like the traditional plastic smart card systems already in widespread use, but has a much smaller physical footprint and uniquely has the ability to connect to any mobile device, tablet or PC. Tyfone's CSC hardware works with all existing software, smart card applets, password schemes and digital certificates, making it the first truly interoperable solution that secures the device, the identity and the transaction, controlling access to ID information in a unique combination of distributed and local (on device) layers. This unprecedented approach allows for seamless integration with organizations' existing smart card-driven security solutions, maximizing investments in security infrastructure. The end result is that Tyfone's CSC solution ensures that employees, consumers and other end-users can securely access their bank accounts or email, pay online as a card preset transaction or enter a building without the vulnerability that comes with today's centralized storing of passwords or biometric IDs.
