HDMI-Enabled Graphics Cards Debut
TrackinYeti writes "HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface), is the first industry supported digital-only interface, that requires a single cable to connect an output source to an HD-ready device, such as a television or monitor and deliver HD video, plus multi-channel digital audio, like Dolby Digital and DTS. Recently, Asus Computer released versions of their GeForce 7600 and Radeon X1600 cards with HDMI outputs on them, driven by an on-board Sil1930 controller. These are some of the first graphics cards to hit the market that can output HDMI natively with an integrated HDCP cipher engine and support HD-audio as well. Just the thing for that HTPC?"
Oh, what a load of horseshit. This is the same tired excuse that gets trounced out as an excuse to make "backup" copies. Will someone please think of the children? My brother has three kids and none of them have ever chewed on their DVDs or remote controls. Perhaps you just suck as a parent. not to mention that on the internet you can make any claim you want (probably why this is such a popular excuse) and no one can verify your story. Given how stupid and gullible many geeks are when it comes to issues like this it's no wonder this excuse has taken off.
