Microsoft: Dropping HDMI cable gives Xbox 360 consumers 'flexibility' {Joystiq}
Aug 27th 2009 12:26PM I have a warranty for Best Buy on mine, and typically, they make you return everything in the box or replace it with the new ones from the new box. So say you can't find your HDMI cable, they would just take the HDMI from the new box and include it with the returned Xbox so everything is even. For instance, I kept my hard drive last time and they took the new hard drive, put it with the old xbox, and it was all good. But if there's no HDMI in the new one, they may insist that you include the old HDMI in the return...which I will have "lost"

Aug 27th 2009 12:17PM Crazy how when they went from including component, composite AND HDMI down to this...way to regress. I guess if my Elite RROD's again, I'll be claiming I lost the HDMI cable!

XFMRs are not that complicated. Quite the opposite in fact. As far as electrical distribution equipment goes, it's pretty simple.
This is indeed just an air-core transformer. Two "conductors" with air replacing the iron core...obviously, the efficiency changes due to the change in permitivity and conductivity of the air in relation to iron...but it still operates under the same basic principles.

AGREED! The man was a certified genius. It's sad that he doesn't get the true credit he deserves. He's up there with Edison in my book.

Aug 20th 2009 11:45AM any radiation from devices like these is a drop in the bucket compared to the radiation we're bombarded with on a daily basis. If you don't believe in this "magnetic resonance" that they are claiming and assume it's really just induction...then you should be worried about radiation from transformers, and hell, even your "wireless power" electric toothbrush.

Aug 16th 2009 10:06PM more life experiences? I'm a college graduate (Bachelors of Science in Electrical Engineering). I just purchased my first home (2400 sq. ft), a new car, and will be getting married in a little over a month and a half. You still wet the bet...

Aug 16th 2009 8:44PM i'm 23 and I just think you're a moron.
Please tell me where you live so I can never go there so as to never have you run into me on the road. Thanks.
Idiot.
