Best Buy Selling Musical Instruments — Making Real Guitar Heroes!
Look out Guitar Center and Sam Ash!
Maybe you don’t think of them as gadgets, but Best Buy is adding musical instruments to its entertainment repertoire at roughly 85 stores nationwide.
(Didn’t I just see you at Best Buy?)
The stores will cater to novice and professional musicians and carry brands such as Fender, Gibson, Roland and Drum Workshop.
The Best Buy in Pembroke Pines, FL, for example, features a 2,500-square-foot store-within-a store with more than 1,000 guitars, bass drums, keyboards, recording equipment and other instruments and accessories.
The Best Buy in Pembroke Pines will have five to seven trained musical instrument specialists and will offer guitar lessons (for all of those Guitar Hero dudes who want to play for real).
There also will be drum and amplifier rooms to test equipment.
Best Buy had offered a smattering of beginner guitars and home-recording equipment, but now it wants a bigger slice of the $7.5 billion U.S. musical instrument market.

Run VoIP in your House - get arrested
Apparently, in Bangladesh if you try and resell VoIP services out of your house, you’re apt to get raided. Hope what happened to American Eliadah “Lia” McCord (forced to smuggle drugs, caught by Bangladesh airport security, gets 30-year sentence, but eventually pardoned thanks to help from Gov. Bill Richardson) doesn’t happen to people who run VoIP services out of their house.
I happened to see the Eliadah “Lia” McCord story a few nights ago on TV. It was a tragic story that ended up well, but not before spending 4 years in prison. In Bangladesh drug smugglers are typically executed (hung) and they don’t have the lengthy appeals (death row) process that happens in the U.S. and other countries.
Imagine getting executed for operating VoIP. Though I doubt even Bangladesh is that extreme. Probably just a 10 year sentence. ![]()
