Lady Gaga wants to ride one of those in her latest song "Love Games" ("... this beat is sick, I want to take a ride on a disco-stick..."). Intrigued by what a disco-stick is (as no-one in my social circles is able to give me an explaination) I managed to find it out myself:
Makes me wonder about the creativity of some song-writers to make a catchy tune and their questionable IQ (such as that one: "... one, two, four, three --- none of the chicks are hotter than me.... hotter than me)... OMFG.
I missed that Logitech released the latest version (7.6) of their Harmony remote software for the Mac.
I have not updated my Harmony 895 and remote extender in a while (must have been 6 months) and did notice that the firmware on both was bumped up (probably to support the PS3 bluetooth remote extender). This was also the first time, that I was able to update the firmware and settings without a glitch (no more safe-mode requirement on the remotes)

It certainly makes you wonder (and worry) that within one week at least 3 members at the PS3ZA forum faced credit-card fraud (here, here and here). Allegedly all users have been using ShopTo.net and I am aware of users who only use a single credit card on ShopTo.net.
While ShopTo.net has denied that there was ever an issue, I strongly believe that fraud has been related to ShopTo (a simple Google search will show you many "coincidences").
I used to be a loyal ShopTo customer and after spending in excess of EUR 800,00 was eventually banned from ShopTo, as they claimed that I abused their lost-parcel policy (yes, I did claim for two parcels valued at EUR 29,00 each - but those never arrived). So when checking today, that they really removed all my credit card information, I was surprised to see that Safari also alerted me about an invalid SSL certificate (I don't see the same message on IE and can not really confirm if there is a Safari glitch - but again, another coincidence and the first SSL issue I have ever seen).
My point in the above: Make sure that you only disclose your CC-details to trusted sites and check your credit card statement daily.

I am used to parcels getting lost or stolen by our local Post Office staff, but this one takes the cake:
An order shipped via CDWOW on 17th April arrived today. The envelope was in mint condition, but I was already not impressed when the game was not in its shrink-wrap. Opening the case revealed the little note. After a WTF-moment I laughed, thinking of some guy (who isn't called Steve) getting the game and still being honest enough to send it on (I wish this would happen to all the other parcels being stolen).
In any case - Steve - if you read this - thanks for being honest. I am also mightily impressed with CDWOW as the had send me a replacement copy (which I received 3 weeks before this one).
