I’m not sure whether to appreciate the effort this Best Buy salesman put forth in his customer attention or feel slightly sad for him.

But I’ll have to give the guy some credit. He did all he could do to sell these young ladies a nice new car stereo, which apparently included his version of break dancing and some carpet humping. The only thing missing from this dance off was a the caterpillar and the running man.

Next week consumers will be able to get their hands on something that appears to be no thicker than a stack of paper, and by the looks of it, just as easy to crush.

But regardless, I’m sure people will be flocking to computer stores and Best Buys everywhere to pick up the new Apple MacBook Air.

Steve Jobs has really outdone himself with this invention. We’ve all seen for years that laptops are getting thinner and lighter, but this thing is insane. This laptop measures in at three-quarters of an inch at its thickets point and has a 13.3″ screen and a full-size keyboard. Now if you’re curious about how much this thing weighs, it comes in at only THREE POUNDS. In addition to the aluminum exterior, it also has some new software features such as fingertip gestures for the touch pad like Apple included on their iPhone.

And the price?

Next week consumers will be forking out $1,800 for the 80 GB hard drive and 2 GB of memory and for the faster, 64-gigabyte and speedier version costs a staggering $3,100.

It looks like Best Buy has confirmed that they did sell infected digital pictures over the holiday, yet there still hasn’t been any announcement about recalls.

The electronics store giant said that they pulled the Insignia 10.4-inch digital frames off their shelves and discontinued the product once they knew of the virus and are “connecting with our customers who may have been impacted.”

Best Buy hasn’t said how many customers were actually infected by the frames, but they are continuing to investigate. Whether or not they plan on doing a recall remains to be seen.
