Dell Closing its Retail Store Kiosks

Those friendly Dell kiosks you've been seeing in the mall are all going away as Dell shutters all 140 stores in favor of going back to their online sales and bigger name retail outlets (like Best Buy).

The launch is planned for January '08 at CES and MacWorld. [iPhoneTower]

The conquest of the human race by robots marches on, and now the quaint phrase "do you want fries with that?" may be within the province of those cold, silicon-based lifeforms. Fast food giants McDonald's, Subway, Jack in the Box, Burger King, Taco Bell and Carl's Jr. are toying with the idea of self-service kiosks made by IBM and NCR that work just like the ubiquitous ATMs as well as those ticketing machines sprouting up at airports all over the world.
