They crawl around in places we don't want them to, and they knock cables out.<br>2) Children. They crawl around in places we don't want them to, and they knock cables out. (Also, they get toys lost behind entertainment systems and you have to pull them out to retrieve them.)<br>3) Dusting. You pull equipment out to clean and cables come undone.<br>4) General moving things around. You every try to pull your Blu-ray/PS3 out to see something, or move your Receiver around to check the ports on the back and cables come popping out? Yeah, it's really annoying to have to keep plugging them back in.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Michael]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 7th 2009 6:31AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on PPC sees an opportunity, debuts its own locking HDMI cable]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2009/01/06/ppc-sees-an-opportunity-debuts-its-own-locking-hdmi-cable/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2009/01/06/ppc-sees-an-opportunity-debuts-its-own-locking-hdmi-cable/</guid><description><![CDATA[I've seen this cable on other web sites.  Looks pretty good but is three times the strength really enough?  I want to be able to swing my blu-ray by the cord! (just kidding)  Also, it looks like PPC is the manufacturer, not Ottovonmo.  Just sell me a cable for less than $150 (Monster) and I'll be happy!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[sylvan]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 7th 2009 8:44AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on PPC sees an opportunity, debuts its own locking HDMI cable]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2009/01/06/ppc-sees-an-opportunity-debuts-its-own-locking-hdmi-cable/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2009/01/06/ppc-sees-an-opportunity-debuts-its-own-locking-hdmi-cable/</guid><description><![CDATA[I move my PS3 around a bit, and the cables never popped out, but whatever.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Josh]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 8th 2009 3:47PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
