The Star Tribune reports a woman is suing Best Buy for $50,000 after the Best Buy/Geek Squad repair service stole her naked photos from her computer, shared them with other Geek Squad agents, and even copied them onto the hard drives of other customers (this is hardly the first time Geek Squad has been caught stealing porn from customer's computers).

On this drive, he also kept the most up-to-date version of the Geek Squad diagnostic tools and told other agents to copy from it.

Inside, Giffels's written confession... More » -

Nickelodeon Is Channel 33, Comcast Adult On Demand Is 333
Michael writes in with an unfortunate coincidence:

It's nice that you have such a good sense of humor about it. We imagine that eventually Comcast is bound to get some calls from parents who aren't so pleasant to deal with. More »
