My frequency of posting has dropped to the point where one would be forgiven for wondering if I was still alive. Well, rest assured that I'm not typing this from beyond the grave, it's just that Google is keeping me busy .

None the less, I was motivated to post this:

“consumers concerned about the scam should avoid PIN-based retail transactions, and chose instead to make signature-based, credit-card-style transactions when making purchases with debit or check cards at stores.”

(from http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/11731365/)

Because, chip and pin is so much safer, right? No one could have predicted that putting people's pin numbers everywhere would make it easy to steal them.
