I can confirm this. I used to work at best buy and after working there and severly wondering if my Jedi skills of persuasion should be used for selling such "service plans"... I one day walked into a neigboring Best Buy only to be lied, hassled, and then pushed by an employee. Since I worked in the same computer department I knew he didnt know what he was talking about, so I contested his "all knowing" best buy knowledge and then proved him wrong via *pointing to box*. Then he spewed unkind remarks and then when I tried to get him to help me with another product, I was pushed. Then I had him called the manager who further hassled me as if I had done otherwise.
Best Buy manager told me that they use Blue in the store, because it has the best subliminal effect (relax and feel good) on the consumer and their layout was all part of a way to draw the consumer in. Speaking to my friend, I realize best buy is a nice place to be... and then shaking my head, I realized the brain washing that had occurred.
Best Buy is like Frys, they just hide the cattle herding and incompetant employees better.
is that their announcement states that their wireless accesspoint operates at 7ghz!!! in "turbo mode" creating 72mbps bandwidth! How come only SMC has this nifty "turbo mode"? Most of the other companies seem ready to launch mostly next year, but SMC is taking orders now at certain websites?!?!
A True Analysis of the Movie
on
Review: A.I.
·
· Score: 1
Overview:
It was too artificial and less intelligent.
Kubrick and Spielberg dont mix.
Because it is a Spielberg doesnt constitute worth.
The Good:
The movie in general lacks good dialogue and the highlight as many will agree is TEDDY. Teddy, the super-toy teddybear companion, is animated and leaves you longing to have one.
Apparent Flaws:
-David was left handed with the scissors, yet he was right handed latter on.
-The movie is generally hard to believe because it segments parts that dont really make any of it realistic
-The robots were created to conserve resources and such. Yet did you see how they killed the robots off? Can you say pollution?
-The car was unrealistic
-Computer generated scenes were awesome but unbelievable
Aliens? or Robots?
Beings at the end. I was unsure if they were aliens or future robots. If they were future robots, where did they come from? From just the surface of the earth? What convinced me that they were aliens was not only their form but also their respect for the human race. Their marvel at a race . Seemed unlike robots, rather alien anthropologist ravellers.

Also, I see alot of company site's making 802.11 announcements (Intel, 3com, linksys, etc), but something I noticed at SMC's site
