THE US CONSUMER Product Safety Commission said Netgear has agreed to recall 53,500 Wall Plug Ethernet Bridges because the unit could cause an electric shock.

The bridge has plastic housings and this can come off.

The model number of the unit is the XE102, and a chain of serial numbers is involved.

There's no news as to whether these units are for sale outside the USA. µ

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
