a new app allows you to fight back against credit card thieves. yay. they got away with more are than $11 billion in fraud just in 2012. the app lets you turn your credit card or debit card on or off and sets limits on where it can be used. tim stevens is an editor at large for our partners at c-net. tim, good morning. >> good morning. >> how's it work? >> basically, it lets you control your credit card like you might control a smartphone or smart car. you install this app provided by your bank or credit card provider. you can turn the card on or off entirely if you want, can you also set restrictions. you can also tie the credit card to your location so the phone knows where you are. the credit card will only allow
8:05 am
purchases that are near you so nobody across the country can use your card. >> this mean when you lend your teenage son or daughter your credit card, can you limit where they spend the money? >> if you have a kid using your credit card, you can say they can only use it for gas, certain purchases or within a certain town, too. >> i wish they would put something in credit cards so that you could find them by where they are. >> where's my wallet? >> yeah. >> but at some point we won't have credit cards anymore. it will all be through your phone. >> chip and pin technology is something we've seen used around the world. basically instead of having a signature which nobody checks anyway you would also have a chip built in to the credit card with a pin. most banks are now switching over to chip and pin credit cards. most retailers should be using them in the u.s. by next year which is good. >> ultimately we pay that $11 billion. >> one way or another we pay for it. banks will have to pay for it
8:06 am
but the incentive is they'll be paying less for fraud and also they found that people are more likely to use cards if they can use that service because they trust it more. >> sounds enticing. when can we get it? where is it? >> it just launched fairly recently. by the end of the year they say they hope to have two-thirds of credit card providers. by the end of the year a lot of banks will be supporting this. but it has to be supported by your bank. you can't just install the app. it has to come through your bank or credit card provider. >> appreciate it. tim stevens. and some works of art are not supposed to laugh. we'll meet a man who paints with sand using the beach as a canvas. beautiful. that's next right here on "cbs this morning." it's our annual clearance event, it only happens once a year. super fun. of course you can get a great deal.

8:12 am
more doors than i ever would have dreamed of before. i never thought i could be making a living raking in the sand. >> reporter: he uses a camera mounted on a quadcopter to take high imjs of postcards. he'll carve wedding proposals and even advertisements for beach resorts. it takes about two hours to complete just one work. one deep stroke. >> yeah. there you go. >> and then across here? and, he says he has no idea what it really looks like until he's done. >> from down here it is hard to get a sense if it's actually turning out. >> it is as if you're a painter but you're blindfolded working on the canvas. beachgoers are drawn in by his creativity and he now does workshops to teach others his craft. this was gerri barnes' first

8:24 am
my life where my male friends can kind of disappeared, and part of it was that i was lucky enough to have gotten married and my wife is my best friend but i kind of started thinking like, well what was that part of my life? what held us together? and you also sort of like think about the part that that played in -- you're with a complete stranger that's a part of your life tlenhen it disappears. movies and tv you see male friendship constantly talked about and you're like i don't have that. basically what is it to be one of the guys or something is an interesting idea but there are people who have friendships for life. >> the power of friendship. such a great thing to do a movie. owen wilson what a great cast you have. >> oh thanks. >> his character says in the mfb, "friendship is a lot harder than love because there's nothing in it for anybody." really? >> that was the first line i had in the movie. and i do believe that.
8:25 am
i think it's -- you don't pick your family. and you have a sexual relationship with your significant other. and this is something that's sort of -- and this is the person you go to the doctor with. it's just an unusual thing. >> but -- >> it speaks quite a lot about loneliness loneliness. it may be my own issue. i thought it was significant was experiencing. >> you do pick your friends. maybe it is not a co-incidence that your two characters share a bond over substance abuse, and apropos, sadly, of the robin williams news very serious mood disorder bipolar, which i were writing about for a commercial film. you started this ten years ago. >> yes. >> and you felt that people would come to a commercial film with bipolar -- i mean i'm -- props to you. >> honestly? i am interested -- i was inspired by movies of the '70s.
8:26 am
i loved those movies. i wanted to do a movie that was slightly socially conscious and based on reality. i don't really do a lot of judgment of my characters but i'm interested in what i think is a sort of state of animation right now which has to do with our inability to feel and maybe our desire to not feel. i think we use substance abuse and this character does certainly. of course, zach's character is mentally ill and they are kind of living in a world that looks like they're in a movie. like they're in some kind of sonar comedy. as the mfb goesovie goes on you realize owen's character has a substance abuse problem and the other character is mentally ill. i wanted to treat that with some seriousness. to me it is a complicated issue of like what is the solution to that. it's just a compromise. >> jane said this. this is so apropos because we are talking about robin
8:27 am
williams. jane and i were talking about earlier, in the paper today the rates of suicide among men, middle-aged men, is up 40%. that's that state of alienation that you deal with in some ways in this movie. >> i feel like, you know you can't control it. then the idea is that owen's character has to stop taking drugs and zach's character has to start taking medication. and i kind of was like that is the compromise of life. who even knows if you can ever get out of that. that's kind of what i was interested in. >> this is fascinating. all of this is brain related, too, as you know both addiction as well as manic depression. >> sure. >> but couple things about you. one is the way you write which is standing up just talking and having people record it. which is the way edward r. murrow actually used to write. >> i'm glad to hear that -- i will take anything in common with edward r. murrow. >> "mad men" 2015 has how many
8:28 am
new episodes? >> seven. >> where do we take this now. >> my life? >> "mad men." >> it is the end of the show. >> yeah. >> it's been an incredible experience and it was incredible to, you know sort of peel things off, first the writers stopped working. then the actors and the crew stopped working. now i'm in post-production with that group. the ironic thing is eventually i will be back alone with my computer which is sort of where i started. >> ten years ago when you started writing the feature film that we are talking about you might not have predicted that people would predict that tv is going to make feature films obsolete because tv is so good. "mad men," "sopranos," "breaking bad." >> the internet revolution is also part of that too. >> i think it is. and i think also the movie business is so internationally oriented that i think that to have a culture-specific
8:29 am
language-specific adult drama or adult comedy you have to sort of go on tv. that's where the business model is. but i wrote the pilot for "mad men" 14 years ago. and then i wrote -- and it got me my job on "the sopranos." i wrote it movie during my first two seasons of "the sopranos," and then i got to do "mad men" three or four years after that. i have this continuum of like not being anywhere near when i write something to when i get to make something. for me you think of a story, you try to be a story teller and is it a movie? is it a tv show? i don't even know. i'm just happy to get to work. >> congratulations. matthew weiner. great to have you again. >> great to be here. >> "are you here" opens in theaters a week from friday. ahead, the farm-to-table movement leaves an award winning chef with a bad taste in his mouth. >> reporter: is it possible to grow better tasting food that's also better for our planet?
8:32 am
have you seen tom corbett's ads attacking me... get real. it's tom corbett who's been sticking it to the middle class on taxes. corbett cut a billion dollars from education... ...now almost 80% of school districts plan to raise property taxes. meanwhile, we're the only state that doesn't charge oil and gas companies an extraction tax. but corbett raised your gas taxes through the roof. i'm tom wolf, i'll be a governor who stands up for the middle class for a change.
8:34 am
ingredients, including animals raised humanely. but one of the nation's leading chefs is challenging that thinking. >> good morning. dan barber wants each chef diner and home cook to ask themselves one question before they shop for dinner or eat out at a restaurant -- what can the farmland around my dinner table adequately provide without pumping the ground full of artificial fertilizers and pesticides? >> reporter: inside this kitchen, chef dan barber calls out orders. not based on with a diners requested, but based on what the farm harvested that day. when people come to your restaurant tonight is the waiter going to hand them a menu? >> we have no menus here. there is a lot of pushback for a menu. people are waiting a lot ing aing a two months and spending a lot of money. equal number of people who come here and say, oh there's no
8:35 am
menu? thank god, i don't have to decide. >> reporter: restaurant deliberately atroidz handing out menus and instead lets the farm dictate the kitchen. >> it is more about nature than imposing our diet on nature. >> reporter: barber recently wrote the third plate, field notes on the future of food. a food manifesto calling for major changes in the american diet and how that food is grown. what is the third plate? >> it is a metaphor for a way of eating for the future. it is a radical relook at our expectations. >> reporter: instead of the typical american dinner where the protein takes center stage, barber asks americans to make vegetables the main act. >> i don't love the angle of the american diet needs to be more healthy. what's the definition of health? i don't know. i know less sugar, i guess. probably a little less fat. but really it's about what is the landscape want to provide and how can our diet be
8:36 am
fashioned to support that? >> reporter: barber implements the third plate mentality at his two restaurants. blue hill restaurant in new york city, and blue hill at stone barns barns. barber grew up on a farm. locally grown to him means cooking with produce grown outside the kitchen door guaranteeing the highest level of nutrition, and of course flavor. what one spoonful of something could you offer an american that kind of illustrates what you are talking about that you are missing out on in your current diet? >> what time of year are we talking about and where? >> right here. >> peach. i tasted the first flush from this farm. i've been munching on them all morning. but i'm so excited about this lowly pea. >> reporter: his methods of farming extend beyond the pea to the pig. all his animals are raised humanely on the stone barn's farm. the way these chickens live this is part of the overall plan. >> yeah. free range. actually, they're freer than me
8:37 am
