I love having this conversation with people who buy the $35 HDMI cables at Best Buy... <br><br>Me: "You don't need to spend that much - go to monoprice and get it for $4."<br>Him: "Yeah, but this is gold-plated and it preserves the signal better."<br>Me: "No it doesn't"<br>Him: "Does, too."<br>Me: "It's digital, dumbass. It's 1's and 0's.  They either get there or they don't - there's really no in between."<br>Him: "Yeah, well, I'm doing it just to be safe. The *expert* at Best Buy recommended it."<br>Me: "You mean the expert that makes a commission off your sale."<br>Him: "Yes, that one."]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Michael]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 8th 2009 6:08PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Wireworld's Platinum Starlight HDMI cable is only $1,000, better than your HDMI cable]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/08/wireworlds-platinum-starlight-hdmi-cable-is-only-1-000-better/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/08/wireworlds-platinum-starlight-hdmi-cable-is-only-1-000-better/</guid><description><![CDATA[@(Unverified)  best by employees don't get commission.
