Electronics retailer Best Buy acknowledged this weekend that some private label Insignia 10-inch digital frames it sold over the holiday season were contaminated with a unidentified virus. The frames have now been pulled from store shelves and the product discontinued, Best Buy said in a statement.

That's hilarious. However I fail to see how this is any fault of best buy. The blame lies on the manufacturer and nobody else.

Insignia is Best Buy's store brand, so yeah, it is Best Buy's fault.

Some of these picture frame units and usb thumb drives and also camera flash cards have a virus preloaded. Lets say the item descriptions says 4gb and windows sees 4gb, the drive is actually much smaller than that but the virus reports to windows or you that it is truly 4gb. When you go to load crap on it, its suddenly full.

What I thought was funny was when those ipods came out with viruses, and Apple's response was "It's Microsoft's fault for making PCs susceptible to them":roll:

Someone really needs to come out with an OS X virus just so that they have to eat their words. I KNOW it's possible...
