AkakmanH Posted July 26, 2012 Posted July 26, 2012 I saw this on consumerist.com - too funny. What is really sad is that so many people will believe it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest_Jim_* Posted July 26, 2012 Posted July 26, 2012 Looks like a bad translation to me. "'100% Mylar' double shield 1.3c grad cable with anti-interference protection to reduce interference noises and to obtain perfect image transmission," I think is what they're going for. That just translates to me as, "Coaxial cable to keep out annoying EM interference, with Mylar!" Of course I recently read through and wrote news items up on some ECS press releases, so I might be more forgiving. With striving on Research and Development and also closely cooperation with AMD, ECS is honor to become the first AMD Memory Profile (AMP) in the world.

Guest_Jim_* Posted July 26, 2012 Posted July 26, 2012 Translation mishap or marketing fubar it is till funny to me. I'd argue same difference (marketing should have caught that) but yeah, it is still funny. (I'm the one guy at a magic show that will explain how the tricks are done, but I am never less amazed by the work. I'll figure out what happened to lead to a joke, but I still laugh at it.)
