In the home page, please select (i) Consumers and (ii) Resources in the top horizontal bar. To a layperson like me, the most informtive is "FAQ" under Resources. Specifically the question "What is HDMI?" an dits corresponding answer: HDMI "is the first and only industry-supported, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface. By delivering crystal-clear, all-digital audio and video via a single cable, HDMI dramatically simplifies cabling and helps provide consumers with the highest-quality home theater experience.

Quote:

"Though they have long let PC users view or download videos—including movies labeled as high-definition—piracy concerns have deterred studios from offering content in a particularly high-resolution format called 1080p that has become popular on home HDTV sets in recent years.

"Intel says its updated Core microprocessors, known by the code name Sandy Bridge, come with a previously undisclosed feature called Intel Insider that helps prevent piracy of purchased 1080p video on PCs powered by the chips. Some companies [studios] that have studied it say they are impressed.

Quote:

"'Apple competitors’ first instinct was to build a cheaper device and put a cheaper processor in it,' said Sarah Rotman Epps, an analyst with Forrester Research, a market research firm. 'The problem with that is that it wouldn’t have been as good for the video screens.'

My comment: The entire report is worthy. Please take a note of the third and fourth paragraphs from the bottom.

My comment:
(i) I am clueless why the same newspaper on the same day has in the tiles: IPAD (as here) and iPad (as (3) above).
(ii) The print edition selects two commentaries: "T Boyer, Doylestown, Pa., Dec. 27" and "Sam, Perth, Australia, Dec. 29."
