			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In an <a href="http://blog.wired.com/gadgets/2009/04/compusa-back-fr.html">interview with Wired</a>, CompUSA&#8217;s chief technology executive has made available to customers every screen in every CompUSA store with a connection to the internet:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;We are using tech to change the retail experience for the customer and giving them access to all the information on the internet anytime they want during the buying process. &#8216;And there are no restrictions. Users can surf the internet, check their Facebook or even Twitter if they want,&#8217; says Fiorentino.</p></blockquote>
<p>Check their Facebook and Twitter?</p>
<p>Um.</p>
<p>Note to quasi-Luddites: make sure you guide your cursor using the mouse or the trackpad and click on the &#8220;Sign Out&#8221; link before you leave said computer. Why? Well, basically &#8217;cause that&#8217;s like leaving your keys in the car with the engine running.</p>
<p>And while I think this is all a push in the right direction for tech retailers, let&#8217;s hope it doesn&#8217;t translate to other types of retail. Like Home Depot, for instance.</p>
