New HDMI 1.4 Spec Set To Confuse 357
thefickler writes "HDMI Licensing LLC, the company that determines the specifications of the HDMI standard, is set to release the HDMI 1.4 spec on 30 June. Unfortunately it could very well be the most confusing thing to ever happen to setting up a home theater. When the new cables are released, you're going to need to read the packaging very carefully because effectively there are now going to be five different versions of HDMI to choose from — HDMI Ethernet Channel, Audio Return Channel, 3D Over HDMI, 4K x2K Resolution Support and a new Automotive HDMI. At least we can't complain about consumer choice."

Oxygen free "magnetically aligned" copper, hand twisted, and manually rubbed between the breasts of virgins for extra "lustre."
They just won't tell you that the virgins look like Rush Limbaugh.

Rush Limbaugh has been married (and divorced) three times - but he has no children (cite [about.com])... so he may in fact be the virgin in question.

Now if you let people pay TO rub them between the breasts of virgins I don't think any of us would be mocking them quite so much.

Yes, much less confusing.
Hey, if I want to use a ZuneHD in my car which cable do I need?

That's required if you want to watch porn over the cable, it's sorta like how you have to magnetize a screwdriver with a magnet if you want screws to stick to it.
