The use of HD is such a joke. HD Radio. You never even made the specific statement, so that everyone would understand, that it only relates to video, not audio or anything else.
A friend of mine is leaving to work in Asia. I gave him my old Panasonic miniDV camera. It's about 8 years old. He's clueless about this stuff. He pointed out to me that on the side it says "high definition". I couldn't believe it. I told him to totally disregard it and that it had nothing to do with real HD. He was worried about being able to edit it on the computer.
HD is thrown around way to much and attached to to many things. It won't be long until I walk into Best Buy and see a blender package with HD written on the side.
What a joke!
I have to mention another thing really quickly. I was watching the news this morning. They had a guy on there talking about how he invented a vacuum cleaner with ultraviolent lights on the bottom to kill mites and stuff in the carpet. He kept refering to it as ultraviolent 'technology.' WHAT TECHNOLOGY? It's a freakin' light. I changed the channel. That particular segment on the news should have been on the QHC channel, or whatever it's called.
“It's rare if a month flies by without some random university or DIYer proclaiming that the next major jump in battery technology is just over the horizon.”

Ultra-violent lights?! Sounds dangerous!
