      <title>Offer business-level technical support through Geek Squad</title>
      <description>It would be great if Geek Squad could have a professional service level for small businesses. Office calls, networking services, periodic maintenance for copiers/printers/fax, and bulk PC support.</description>

      <title>Make the ordering process on bestbuy.com easier</title>
      <description>There are 2-3 steps that could be stripped out to streamline the online buying experience. Choosing a store for pickup was sort of annoying too, but the in-store pickup process was great.</description>

      <title>Free in-store PC tech support</title>
      <description>Geek Squad should offer free in-store, walk-up tech support. Yes, like the Apple Genius Bar. First come, first served.  Maybe reward zone members get a little preferential treatment?</description>

      <text>Agreed. It should be just as easy to ask somebody in your store a question as a person in another store 1000 miles away.</text>

      <text>I don't want to comment on or vote for an idea if the author could change the text later. My comment and vote could be then taken out of context!! Perhaps it would be ok to allow edits ONLY if there are no votes or comments.</text>

      <text>Best Buy owns http://giftag.com which is their form of a universal giftlist. But yeah, it would be nice if they had something integrated to the website.</text>

      <text>Agreed.  Gift cards are such a normal, integral part of the retail experience now. To make it feel novel would be killer!</text>

      <text>I like the near by idea maps. Very cool to see where the ideas are coming from, and I'm sure Best Buy will eventually pick out trends in local markets.</text>

      <text>Lead by example. The corporate offices and stores could invest in alternative and sustainable energy as well.  Kinda like what William McDonough did for The Gap offices.</text>
