Which retailer respects the privacy of law-abiding citizens?
Ones I don’t know about yet I shall continue to patronize. I don’t worry a terrible lot about commercial spying to get ads in front of my face. I do get POed at enthusiastic co-operation with government spies, though.
As if I didn’t have enough reasons..........
Why buy at Best Buy?
and a government spy.
Soooooo, the FBI made a deal with the business who has been found giving money to HAMAS, to spy on American citizens????!!
Geek Squad?? This is beginning to seem more like Get Smart than a bizarre spy novel/movie.
The average Geek Squad Tech couldn’t find his ass with both hands
I took my computer to a repair shop in Georgia and the owner told me alot of his business was repairing computers that had previously been taken to the Geek Squad. He said many of their employees were teens/college students working part time.
Best Spy?
anybody who takes there computer to geek squad deserves WHATEVER happens to them ...
Depends on native talent and training.
