walbournOk, so "HD" (aka High-Definition) is officially over-used. Smack anyone that uses it to describe radio, video gaming consoles, or MIDI 2.0. It should only be used for HD-DVD (to distinguish it from standard 480p DVD) and HDTV (to mean modern digital televisions).
They've already starting calling 1080p "Beyond High Definition"!?!?
While I'm at it, "Next-generation" should never be used to describe the Wii, Xbox 360, or PS3. They are the "current-generation" thank you very much. And actually they are really the "2 years old generation", or longer if you compare them to Direct3D 10 capable Windows PCs, but I digress.
And the next executive that uses the phrase "delight the customer" should be roshambo'd! Unless you are Willy Wonka, you don't "delight" anyone!
Stop the MarCom Madness!
