LMAO – now this is funny! Its a few days old, but still funny as hell. It seems that consumerist.org setup a “honey pot” computer to catch a GeekSquad agent stealing porn from the pc!
If you read the entire story, they are actually trying to prove a point that porn and file theft (or prying eyes) are rampant in the pc repair industry. As a professional repair technician among my other talents, I take my client’s data and privacy very seriously. While I do often deal with client data for imaging or archiving purposes, actually “taking of the data” is a no-no!
Of course, this raises the issue of whether the client’s porn was ripped from a website, downloaded via bit torrent, or home-made? Either way, it just goes to prove how incredibly stupid most of the GeekSquad agents really are. Haven’t they heard of The Pirate Bay and bit torrent?
No wonder I don’t consider them competition!
Rex,
Your professionalism separates you from the rest.
Of course we sometimes get hit hard by the bad ball. But the home runs make a greater impact in the long run…….
