AVN Novelty Expo
I attended CES and, while there, was offered the opportunity to attend the AVN Adult Entertainment Expo (AEE) ...which I did. Now, I'm receiving information about the upcoming AVN Novelty Expo in Los Angeles from July 13th through the 15th...which I've reviewed. (Hey, I don't have a "staff"...somebody's gotta do the research...)
As I did at the AVN AEE, being the gadget freak-boy that I am, I was looking for some items that would catch my interest...something kinda neat. So far I haven't seem much, but I did notice an "enhancing strap" from Sportsheets. What impressed me, as always, is that it's portable: it's not a pillow or a cushion. And, once again: "Why didn't I think of that?" The picture of the packaged product is at this link, and here is a picture of the product:

There is no nudity in the demonstration video, which can be found on their webpage of video clips...but you will want to consider it rated "R".
It fits in a backpack or briefcase! When she asks, "What's THAT for?..."

eBay service hit by malware
Auctiva, a service "to help expedite the eBay listing process", was attacked by malware. In their online community Message Boards, they posted...
"...some of our machines were injected with malware originating in China...
"...if you did visit our site between Thursday evening and Saturday afternoon at about 2 PM PT, as a precautionary measure, we recommend taking the following actions to ensure that your computers are not infected:
1) Clear your browser cache, delete ALL temporary internet files, and restart your browser.
2) If using a Windows machine, make sure you are updated with all the current Microsoft updates and patches.
3) Make sure you are running some reputable antivirus software (AVG is available for free at http://free.avg.com and is known to catch this malware)
4) Use the Firefox browser if possible, as it has been shown to be less susceptible to this sort of malware than Internet Explorer.
What I find VERY interesting, is they never mentioned it via Twitter...
