There are lots of companies, including Google and Apple, that would like to replace your wallet with a digital version, but a startup has a somewhat less ambitious goal — replace your handful of credit cards with one super card. Coin , a credit-card-like device, is set for a summer 2014 launch. As the video below explains, Coin swipes like an ordinary card. The difference is, the card holds up to eight credit cards, debit cards or gift cards. Coin provides a dongle device to users that connects to their phone and an app  that lets you download the card info. The device will cost $100, but the company is charging $50 for early adopters that preorder now. Founded by former PayPal developer Kanishk Parashar, Coin uses a patent-pending magnetic strip. The reader device employs Bluetooth Low Energy and Coin's battery lasts two years, according to the company. With so much energy spent towards turning smartphones into digital wallets, Coin's idea seems a bit like a throwbac...

Struggling  BlackBerry  is sparing no expense for new CEO John Chen, bestowing upon him a compensation package currently worth $88 million. Chen, who joined the company last week, will receive a salary of $1 million plus a performance bonus of $2 million. The bulk of Chen's compensation will come in the form of 13 million BlackBerry shares. At Monday's price of $6.50 a share, that's worth $84.5 million.

After months of speculation,  Facebook  last week  acknowledged  that there was some decrease in the number of "younger teens" using the social network on a daily basis. Now an annual survey of 4,014 young people provides more proof that teens may be looking elsewhere. The Futures Company , a research consultancy, interviewed teens in July and found that 41.6% of those aged 12 to 15 said Facebook was their favorite website compared to 48% of teens overall. Last year, Facebook was the most popular site among 12- to 15-year-olds. The most popular site among all teens now is YouTube, according to the report. Fifty percent of teens surveyed cited YouTube as their favorite site versus 45.2% for Facebook. (The company's report, the 2013 TRU Youth Monitor, has not yet been released, but  Mashable  got a sneak peek at the data.) Others on the list include Amazon (27.8%), Google (25%), Twitter (19.5%), Yahoo (12.1%), eBay (10.7%) and Tumblr (12.3%). Note...
