Really? That was you in those shower phone-cam pix? And the files they copied and posted to a bittorrent were yours as well? And you actually paid someone $259 to remove spyware?
There's also the big Geek Squad piracy find from a while back. Apparently they were using the same "repair" software on all of their computers and never paid for any of it.
those Geek Squad in my area are idiots. They know nothing! which piss me off, they refuse to answer any general question without asking "do you have extended warranty?" If not, bring it to manufacturer.
I love price matching against bestbuy when you see the CSR's face when they are getting owned
I wish people would STFU about the geek squad. They have a crap load of employees. Obviously you are going to have a few stinkers. By and large though the have some pretty good techs. The camera phone and data theft issues are isolated issues. Hell you can have that shit happen anytime you have someone come to your house. Case in point I had a friend who had her laptop stolen when someone came out to her house to replace her water heater. Does that mean the entire company is for shit? No. Geek Squad does what it does pretty well. If they should be criticized about anything it should be for not weeding out the people who don't have a damn clue

*look of pure incredulity, shock and horror*
“Keep my machines away from that man.”
I fix alot of geek squad networking issues. They really only know how to google error codes, which you could have done but oh well.

It wouldn't bother me if BB went belly-up, there are better choices out there.
BTW, I love the anti-BB sentiment going on in the thread right now.
