Credit Card Number Stolen
My friend and I work in the US at a worldwide corporation that sells IT software to businesses. He had a fraudulent charge appear on his credit card in Australia. It seems the person who stole his credit card number works for the same company at a location in Australia!

12-Volt Dual Socket Adapter With Dual USB Ports
I am looking for a 12-Volt Dual Socket Adapter with Dual USB Ports. I did pick up one from Wal-Mart. I think it is Bell brand, it it looks pretty cheap. Anyway, so far, the best I have found is from Wagan. I am just wondering if anybody has used their devices and if they are good quality or are they cheap?
