Based on a ten-page (!) confession by a former Geek Squad member in which he wrote that Geek Squad agents scour your computer for those porn and personal pictures and videos and copy them onto their thumb drives, Consumerist set up a string operation in which they rigged a computer to record all user activity and brought it in to a number of Best Buy stores to have Geek Squad install iTunes on it.
They report:
We took it to around a dozen Best Buy Geek Squads and asked them to perform simple tasks, like installing iTunes. Most places were fine, sometimes doing the job right on the counter, sometimes even for free.

There remains one question that I’m sure a lot of guys are asking: Where’d they get that desktop wallpaper image, and could they please share it?

How do they know it was really a Geek Squad person? Someone could have just used the geek squad tools and did it themselves and framed the geeks. Plus, these girls are nowhere near hot.
Every big box store tech area does this. I have worked in the tech area’s of 3 of the major tech companies and I have seen and done it in all of them. If you bring your system to a big box store you are an idiot, plain and simple.
Been in IT for 25 years. Bang all 3 girls in a heartbeat. So would my wife who is built more like the first one. Jelly?
Live the dream, brother, live the dream.
