Are people really this lazy?
California Best Buy stores are offering $9.99 Bluetooth pairing for those too fried on cocaine and hearty Cabernet to be bothered with connecting their new iPhones to the Bluetooth.
This truly amazes me. I mean, I was always the kid to set digital watches or VCR clocks. The thought never occured to me to charge anyone. Sheesh.
Yet another reason why I’m poor no doubt.

I was amused recently when, on buying an external HD for my Mac, I was asked if I wanted to purchase installation. I mean, what is there to install??

It’s no different than both Best Buy and Circuit City offering “setup” on the dash mounted GPSs that they sell…
$30 stick a suction cup on the windshield and turn the thing on…

I know there are people that have trouble with that kind of stuff or they are ascared of the technology.
This is also a test of the wtf commenting system.

I’d do it (pair someone’s bluetooth headset) for a diet coke and a song.

I don’t think it’s that they’re scared per se, just that a lot of people overestimate their techno-ignorance and after all, it must NEED professional installation if they offer it, right??
