My memory is fuzzy, but that seems wrong. If I recall correctly, the result was that they could ask you to identify yourself, not that you had to show them an ID. A small but important difference.
...that the number of bots is lower. Not exactly good for business. If you are going to rant, you might as well try to look half-intelligent by reading the report.

Jesus, you don't know what you are talking about, do you? I have $100/foot speaker cables, and they have nothing to do with HDMI.
HDMI is about connecting an audio and video source, such as your DVD or computer to a receiver, where the signal can be decoded and manipulated in the digital domain before being passed off to the amplifier.
HDMI minus the video is similar to using Firewire to connect audio components or using a priopietary digital interconnect like Denon Link.
Since the signal is more likely in the digital domain to start with (CD, DVD, SACD, HDTV digital audio), there is no point in converting the signal to analog just to convert it again to digital in the receiver, and doing so degrades the signal.
By their very nature speakers are analog devices and take as input an analog signal, ergo the analog speaker cables, altough there are digital speakers with built in decoders and amplifiers, but they are just duplicating equipment inside the speaker.
> Another thing -- my video and audio signals don't output to the same device. The video goes to the TV, and the audio goes to the home theater system.
That because you do not own a receiver that can do video switching. Get the top of the line Denon receiver with video switching and HDMI inputs and you can connect a DVD player, a HDTV Tivo, and a computer with only a handful of cable and full digital quality.
In fact, Symantec already does this. If you ever get any spam trying to sell you pirated Symantec software, forward it to spamwatch@symantec.com with full headers.

Since no one seems fit to actually read the report before commenting and looking like an idiot, here it is.

It explains how they obtained their data. It is through their DeepSight TMS and MSS services.
