It doesn't matter what color you paint it, you see the light reflecting off the Solar panels from the sun. There normally isn't blinking lights on these things any-who.
A very similar thing happened when I worked in the Geek Squad, however for me when I saw managers going through customers computers I never said anything cause I valued my job. But when I found pictures of a friend on the company computer I spoke up. 2 Weeks later I was forced to resign my job (well I resigned cause I heard through the grape vine they were gonna fire me, and they were because they had the paperwork filled out already when I went in to resign)
There is no internal geek squad software, their disk is a freeware menu system which I forget the name of, everything else such as what is on the flash drives is from the companies that manufacture them. (I used to work for geek squad)
Well I used to work there, and yea we had to dress like on the ads, and most the people don't know shit about computers, one of my coworkers still prefered windows 95 over anything.
But needless to say, I was the employee who walked around with the knoppix cd.:-)
It all is a matter of who is working, some of my coworkers at the time really knew what they were doing, and some didn't.
For instance if there was no post on the screen at boot time some employees would immediately send it out as a bad unit, whereas me and a few other employee's would cover all the grounds, video card, video cable, test power supply voltages, check for distended capacitors, check the current through the capacitors, make sure cpu, memory, etc was seated properly.
Truth of the matter I worked with people who would send computers out for overheating problems, when they failed to notice that the fan was so full of dust it was barely spinning and there was 90%+ CPU utilization because of adware.
For Best Buy they don't care who they hire as long as they can train the person to go through computer, and they can get through the computer fast so they have a quick turnover for the customer.
Just my two cents from being on the other side of the counter. It is definately a Buyer beware situation though.
I actually used to work for the geeksquad and there was a lot of problems there, so I will list them.
1. Employees took parts from computers we threw out home, including hard drives, and the managers really didn't care.
2. Employees copied customers files from their computers onto the store computers (aka, found porn on the customers computers, often of customers or of the people they knew and kept it).
3. Employees often didn't fix problems completely because they thought it was too much work.
4. And to top it off, I often found managers browsing through the files that the employees kept and thought it was the coolest thing in the world.

What happens when they successfully produce a working quantam computer, and can just use wave states? AHHH I think the genral worl is just CYA.

Currently you cannot disable this without disabling the audio... There should be a fix for it in SP1 rumor says.
