Gang Rapes and Beatings, Brothels Filled with Teenage Prostitutes -- The Depths of American Brutality in Vietnam
Continued from previous page
In addition to collecting souvenirs and gruesome photos, American troops mistreated corpses to send a message. Troops in the field regularly carved their unit's initials or numbers into corpses, adorned bodies with their unit's patch, or left a "death card"— generally either an ace of spades or a custom-printed business card claiming credit for the kill. Company A, 1st Battalion, 6th Infantry of the 198th Light Infantry Brigade, for example, left their victims with a customized ace of spades sporting the unit's formal designation, its nickname ("Gunfighters"), a skull and crossbones, and the phrase "dealers of death." Helicopter pilots, such as Captain Lynn Carlson, occasionally dropped similar specially made calling cards from their gunships. One side of Carlson's card read: "Congratulations. You have been killed through courtesy of the 361st. Yours truly, Pink Panther 20." The other side proclaimed, "The Lord giveth and the 20mm [cannon] taketh away. Killing is our business and business is good."
In a rather medieval display, some American troops hacked the heads off the dead and mounted them on pikes or poles to frighten guerrillas or local Vietnamese villagers. Others, in a more modern variant of the same practice, lashed corpses to U.S. vehicles and drove through towns and villages to send a similar message. And while South Vietnamese troops were often singled out in the press for making public displays of dead guerrillas, U.S. troops did much the same, sometimes even more spectacularly. Alexander Haig— who went on to serve as a division brigade commander, vice chief of staff of the U.S. Army, and then President Nixon's chief of staff— recalled that in 1966, when he was the operations officer with the 1st Infantry Division, one tactic under discussion involved throwing bodies out of aircraft.
"I was there when some staffers recommended dropping dead North Vietnamese soldiers from helicopters . . . simply for the psychology of it," Haig remembered decades later. "I said 'If that happens I'm resigning right here and now.' And it didn't happen." The historical record, though, contradicts Haig's last sentence. In November 1966, the New York Times reported that, following a particularly successful battle, an "elated" Lieutenant Colonel Jack Whitted of the 1st Infantry Division had the corpses of dead revolutionary troops loaded into a helicopter. "We're giving the bodies back to Victor Charles!" he shouted. "We'll dump the bodies in the next clearing." The corpses were then hurled out.
The disdainful attitude that led American troops to gleefully cut off ears and run down pedestrians by the roadside was even stronger when it came to a group that, for the young soldiers, was doubly "other": Vietnamese women. As a result, sexual violence and sexual exploitation became an omnipresent part of the American War. With their husbands or fathers away at war or dead because of it, without other employment prospects and desperate to provide for their families, many women found that catering to the desires of U.S. soldiers was their only option.
By 1966, as the feminist scholar Susan Brownmiller observed, the 1st Cavalry Division, the 1st Infantry Division, and the 4th Infantry Division had all already "established official military brothels within the perimeter of their basecamps." At the 1st Infantry Division base at Lai Khe, refugee women—recruited by the South Vietnamese province chief and channeled into their jobs by the mayor of the town—worked in sixty curtained cubicles kept under military police guard. Jim Soular of the 1st Cavalry Division recalled the setup at his unit's compound, known as Sin City.
You had to go through a checkpoint gate, but once you were in there you could do anything. There were all kinds of prostitutes and booze. The [U.S.] army was definitely in control of this thing. The bars had little rooms in the back where you could go with the prostitutes. I know they were checked by the doctors once a week for venereal diseases.
At Dong Tam, the 9th Infantry Division camp, the sign on a large building next to the headquarters read "Steam Bath and Massage." The troops knew it by a different name: "Steam 'n Cream." The building boasted approximately 140 cubicles filled with Vietnamese women and girls. At another U.S. compound, the prices of sex acts were announced at an official briefing, and, for a time, "little tickets had been printed up . . . blue ones for blow jobs, and white ones for inter-course," recalled one patron to an army investigator. GIs paid a dollar or so for the former and around two for the latter.

Thanksgiving is right around the corner and that means two things. (No, not the kickoff to the holiday shopping season that we're made to believe started around Halloween… sigh).
It means great food with family and, of course, football. And if you're like me, you're probably in at least one fantasy football league. In fact there are over 41 million people playing fantasy sports in the U.S. and Canada this year.
There are a myriad of reasons why people participate. It's a great way to meet friends or co-workers and build camaraderie, stay in contact with friends and former colleagues, and it adds a level of excitement to any game you're watching – not just ones with your favorite team. Regardless of the reason, it's fun and it's something to talk about around the water cooler.
Fantasy football does have some drawbacks that companies are starting to notice, though. One statistic claims that 30 percent of fantasy football participants manage their teams while on office computers (I may be guilty of this… I hope my boss isn't reading!).
Another recent stat from Challenger, Gray & Christmas, a consultancy firm out of Chicago, says that fantasy football may cost employers more than $13 billion in lost productivity, up from $6.5 billion from their same study in 2012. John Challenger, CEO of Challenger, Gray & Christmas, says in the study that he "fully acknowledges the absurdity of trying to put a firm dollar amount on lost work output resulting from the virtual competition."
Does this mean you need to run down to your IT department and block every site running these leagues? Well, no. If employees aren't spending time monitoring fantasy football, then they're checking social media sites, getting the latest Hollywood gossip, online shopping – the list goes on. And these "extras" are important for employees to have in their lives. Employers should trust that they've hired the best people to get the job done, and for their employees to be their most productive selves, they need breathing room. As it is, 41% of employees feel guilty or stressed about taking time off from work. As Sir Richard Branson said, "If you take care of your employees, they'll take care of your business."
The fact is, we're all bombarded by distractions! Think about possible repercussions of banning fantasy football or sports Websites in general. As Challenger puts it, "an across-the-board ban on all fantasy football or sports websites is likely to backfire and cause a drop in morale, loyalty and, ironically, productivity. The end result could be far worse than any loss of productivity caused by an hour or two of team management each week."
Employers who trust their employees to get the job done will always be better rewarded than employers who feel they have to control every second of their workforce's day from the moment they arrive, to the moment they clock out. Supporting a culture that gives employees some wiggle room in their schedule will help them be their most productive selves.
Let us know what you think of fantasy football as it pertains to your office culture in through Twitter or Facebook, and learn more about improving employees' productivity without banning fantasy football by downloading the eBook, "4 Ways to Help Drive Employees Productivity."
Here at Virgin Pulse, it's important to us to make time to give back to our community. As part of Sir Richard Branson's Virgin Group – one that's committed to using business as a force for good and to aligning people, planet and profits to make business sustainable – we're committed to not just taking care of our people, but also our surrounding community as well.
As a team and a company, we take opportunities that let us give back whenever we can. Earlier this year, we participated in the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, and supported the charity organization Free the Children through our annual Cycle USA bike ride with our friends at Virgin Atlantic, among other events.
Most recently, Virgin Pulse employees spent a day volunteering at the Greater Boston Food Bank (GBFB), with half the company taking a morning shift and the other an afternoon shift. With its mission to end hunger in Eastern Massachusetts, GBFB aims to distribute enough food for everyone in need in Massachusetts to have at least one meal a day.
"Obviously one meal isn't enough, but we wanted to start with a goal we feel will make the most impact, and is achievable," Ilana Borson, our group leader at the GBFB said.
Delivering 48 million pounds to as many as 545,000 people last year, GBFB's goal to top those numbers is a huge responsibility, but the organization's ready for the challenge. To help address hunger, GBFB works with over 25,000 volunteers each year to help manage operation costs, and donates 92 percent of all donated money straight to hunger-relief efforts.
To help GBFB achieve its goal, our groups assembled on its warehouse floor with the goal of sorting 5,000 pounds of food each. True to our core, our teams quickly found a way to kick-off some friendly competition, and each shift worked hard to outdo the other and surpass that goal.
"The competition was a fun way to get the groups into the job at hand. But the incredible part was seeing us all work together towards a larger goal," commented Carolyn Vernon, Virgin Pulse Office Manager.
In the end, Virgin Pulse sorted more than 14,000 pounds of food, with the afternoon group beating out the morning shift by about 1,500 pounds.
"I walked away [from the food bank] feeling very fulfilled," said Brad Blanchette, Product Marketing Manager at Virgin Pulse. "I got to spend some time with colleagues I normally don't talk to, got a little exercise lifting boxes of food, and we got to help those not as fortunate as us. Overall, it was a great day," he added.
Time well spent! Even besides volunteering for a great organization and getting to learn a little more about the hunger issue in Eastern Massachusetts, the Virgin Pulse team got time to bond, and at the end of the day building the team and creating a positive culture is always a worthwhile investment.
"The day of service was a great opportunity to build unity across the company and to live Virgin Pulse's mission in a very real and practical way," said Tim Ciampa, Account Specialist at Virgin Pulse.
"It's easy to get lost in the numbers sometimes and forget that what we do is ultimately about people, so I was grateful for this reminder and the chance to express our commitment to improving people's lives," he added,
Looking for ways you can give back while building your organization's culture, too? Find your local food bank to arrange a volunteer day for your employees.
A lot of light's being shined on employee wellness these days, but what about employee well-being? This important shift goes beyond supporting employees' physical needs. It also supports mental and emotional health, happiness and sense of their own prosperity – and it's key to creating an engaged workforce.
With an astonishing 70 percent of employees actively disengaged from their work, according a Gallup study, it's no surprise that supporting employee engagement drives quantifiable results. The stakes are high. Companies with low levels of engagement are collectively losing billions of dollars annually in lost productivity. With highly engaged workforces driving business performance – in some cases, realizing shareholder returns that are 28 percent higher than industry peers, according to a Towers Watson study – employers working to improve employee engagement can create a real competitive edge.
Benefits like productivity gains, better workplace safety results, higher quality work, lower absenteeism and turnover and, ultimately, higher profitability for the company, are just the beginning, though.
To truly engage and motivate employees, you need to support all aspects of their well-being. Help them feel their best in all areas of life and they'll bring their best selves to work each day – along with the energy, focus and drive they need to get things done.
But before you dive into your employee well-being strategy, it's important to really understand many of the key elements impacting a person's well-being – and what you can do to support them.
Of course, improving an employee's well-being ultimately lies with that person. But building positive workplaces and providing the financial security, opportunities to grow intellectually and socially, and programs to improve overall well-being will help you understand how to fully engage your workforce and create a strong, competitive edge.
Want to dig deeper into the nitty-gritty aspects of employee well-being and how it impacts your business? Check out this whitepaper "Making the Case: Supporting Employee Well-being, Molding Better Business."

The new Spotlight search feature can be accessed directly from other apps.
Spotlight Search is one the best new features in OS 3.0. Given that you can now have up to 11 pages of apps, swiping constantly to find them can be a bit irritating. Spotlight Search is the fastest way to find an app, contact, e-mail, song, video, or other piece of data. Simply open the Spotlight Search window, begin entering your search query, and a list of possible results is displayed and refined as you type. When you see what you're looking for, tap on it to open it.
OS 3.0 adds Cut, Copy, & Paste capability to the iPhone and iPod touch. This system-wide feature works with any app that accepts text entry. Before you can cut or copy text, you first have to select it. To do this you have to do the following:
Even the music in your favorites list can get old after a few months. If you want to skip a song you've heard too many times, you can always tap on the Next button in iPod's Now Playing screen. But with OS 3.0, it's even easier. Simply shake your iPhone or iPod touch while you are listening to music and the iPod app will skip to the next song. This feature also works with videos and audiobooks.
Note that you must be in the iPod app for this feature to work. You can't be listening to music in the background while you're using another app.
We announced the new iPhone 3GS and OS 3.0 in the last issue of iPhone Life. In this issue, we take a more in-depth look as some of the added features.
The titles reviewed in this article are recent App Store standouts. They all have excellent production values, appropriately deep and complex gameplay, and high replay value. Best of all, they are a blast to play!
Every title in this article is well worth its price. Each demonstrates that the quality of the game is in the details, and each of these titles provides depth, beauty, and great gameplay.
With over 50,000 applications available and scores of new ones being added daily, it's a small wonder that many good apps get lost in the crowd. A significant portion of iPhone and iPod touch users share my interest in games; games account for over half of App Store downloads. I thought I'd review a few of the lesser-known titles in the App Store—the hidden gems!
The App Store provides users with a wide variety of games but buries a lot of treasures in the process. Remember that a game doesn't have to come from a large, well-known company to be good. Take some time to dig around in the App Store—you just might find some hidden gems!
We might be able to stimulate our way back to stability, but we can only invent our way back to prosperity. We need everyone at every level to get smarter. (Thomas Friedman)

|State of Connecticut, Employment Sectors & United States Nonfarm Employment Last Updated: November 20, 2014
Connecticut preliminary nonfarm employment extended monthly job gains by adding 3,600 (0.21%) jobs in October to 1,681,800 (seasonally adjusted). October nonfarm job gains now amount to 23,000 (+1.39%) over the year. Connecticut has added 18,300 jobs (about 1,830 per month) through the first ten months of the year, better than the 2013 pace of 13,700 through October (about 1,370 per month) on a seasonally adjusted cumulative basis. In 2012, Connecticut added 11,900 positions through October (1,190 per month), while the 2011 year-to-date October tally was 9,500 (about 950 per month). During 2010, the year the recovery started (2/2010), job gains were 9,600 (960 jobs per month, Census year) through October. This is shaping up to be the best year of Connecticuts employment recovery so far even with the large loss that started the year in January (-10,900).
The private sector added 4,900 positions (0.3%) in October for the ninth consecutive monthly gain. Over-the-year, Connecticut has now added 22,100 private sector jobs (1.6%, 2,210 monthly pace).
The four major industry supersector job gainers from the business survey in October were led by the education and health services (+2,400, +0.7%). Education (+1,100, +1.7%) and health (+1,300, +0.5%) were both solid contributors. The trade, transportation &utilities (TTU) (+1,500, +0.5%) supersector was also adding jobs last month. The retail trade (+2,400, +1.3%) component was the strongest segment and seemed to be rising on earlier than normal Christmas buildup. TTU is still the fastest growing supersector over the year (+8,100, +2.7%). Leisure and hospitality (+1,000, +0.7%) saw employment increasing again with continued activity coming from accommodation and food services (+700, +0.6%) which has been benefitting from the nice string of weather since spring and the recent gasoline price decline. And the professional, scientific, and technical (+700, +0.3%) supersector also was adding positions led by administrative services (+800, +0.9%) where temporary employment is tallied.
Government (-1,300, -0.6%) posted the largest decline of the five job decreasing supersectors in the state in October. Federal (-100, -0.6%), state (-400, -0.6%) and local

RAYMOND - A local man is in custody after allegedly assaulting a two-month old infant over the last several weeks.
Cavan G. Moore, 26, of 125 Route 27 in Raymond has been charged with three counts of second-degree assault on a victim under one year of age and is being held on $25,000 cash bail pending arraignment in Candia Circuit Court.
Information that the infant had sustained injuries over the last several weeks led to an examination of the infant at Exeter Hospital, according to information released by police on Saturday morning.
Upon examination, medical staff at the hospital determined that the infant had suffered multiple fractures. Police allege the injuries occurred over the past several weeks at a Raymond residence.
On Friday afternoon, Raymond police detectives, the Division of Children Youth and Families and the Rockingham County Attorney's Office developed enough supporting evidence to place Moore under arrest.

Junior Jumpers safe? Useful?

Posted 27 February 2013 - 05:39 AM
Hi all. We're thinking about getting a Junior Jumper type toddler trampoline (the sort for 1 child, has a handle) for our 27mo. She's taken to climbing and tumbling and jumping around/off of furniture and I'd rather try to channel that somewhere safer Has anyone had good/bad luck with the toddler trampolines?
Posted 27 February 2013 - 09:13 AM
We dont have one of those but I did buy one of the small 4.5ft netted tramps before christmas. DD loves it and uses it almost daily, we will definitely be buying her a bigger one for her birthday next year when she outgrows this one.
Thankfully we got ours on sale for only $80 so not a huge outlay for such a short period of use.

we brought one for our 26mth old DS a couple of months ago, his a huge climber and loves to test the limits with no fear..his occupational therapist recommeded it to try channel all that engery into it and they are great! we have ours inside and sometimes he just loves lying on it lol
Posted 27 February 2013 - 09:36 AM
Thanks to both of you. We can't do outdoor trampolines as our dogs would decide they were a very large canine recreation facility or oversized chewtoy. Bums me out though as I'd love one, myself!
I think we'll give the junior jumper a shot. We have too many corners and walls and dogs around that make vaulting off of sofas a particularly dangerous occupation
Posted 27 February 2013 - 09:41 AM
We had one for my DS when he was little, best money ever spent. Especially great in winter, just wish we had bought it earlier so he had more time on it before he was too big.

In the first two rounds the world number 45 plays opponents ranked far below him. If he beats Sri Lanka's world number 237 Dinuka Karunaratne in the opening round, he will play the winner of the match between 240th ranked Agusriad Amphie (Indonesia) and 62nd ranked Roman Spitko (Germany).
He is expected to run into Canadian Richard Vaughan, the world number 30, in the next round, with the winner booking a spot in the last eight.
All the players in the world's top ten are absent, leaving the field open to others.

Georgia Bulldogs: Christine Michael
SEC sends several RBs to NFL combine
LSU Tigers
Perhaps it says something about LSU's offense in 2012 that among a record 13 players invited to the NFL combine from the Tigers, only two are offensive skill players who are generally considered, at this point, marginal talents. Running backs Spencer Ware and Michael Ford are the only skill players invited to Indianapolis, which is understandable when one considers LSU was 10th in the SEC in total offense. It's also a sign of youth. Quarterback Zach Mettenberger, fullback J.C. Copeland, running back Jeremy Hill and all of LSU's primary threats at wide receiver will return in 2013.
SEC post-spring power rankings
We're putting spring behind us and looking toward the fall with our post-spring power rankings:
1. LSU: The Tigers had one of the best springs around. Things were quiet off the field, and the offense rallied behind quarterback Zach Mettenberger. Coach Les Miles was very impressed with Mettenberger's play and maturity, and expects LSU's offense to be more balanced with him under center. LSU can still use four or five running backs as well. Defensively, the Tigers are stacked once again, especially up front with two potential first-rounders in ends Sam Montgomery and Barkevious Mingo. Questions surround the inexperienced linebackers, but Kevin Minter had a tremendous spring in the middle. On paper, LSU is equipped with the talent to make another title run, and gets Alabama at home this year.
Nine SEC players in 2013 mock NFL draft
USC quarterback Matt Barkley is No. 1 overall, but right behind him at No. 2 is South Carolina running back Marcus Lattimore. A year ago, Lattimore had his season cut short by a knee injury.
Georgia outside linebacker Jarvis Jones is No. 4 and LSU defensive end Sam Montgomery No. 10, giving the SEC three players in the top 10.
The other SEC players making the list:
- No. 12: Mississippi State cornerback Johnthan Banks
- No. 15: LSU cornerback Tyrann Mathieu
- No. 17: Arkansas quarterback Tyler Wilson
- No. 27: Texas A&M running back Christine Michael

2.14 Happy Day of LOVE!!
by Amanda
posted Feb 14 2012 1:10PM
Happy Valentine's Day! If you're one of those mean people who tries to squash everyone else's lovey dovey heart shaped day by whining that it's a "Hallmark Holiday" then you might want to quit reading now. I like the day of love. I also like feeling and showing love every other day too ... but it doesn't mean today can't be extra special and filled with calories that don't count that come in the shape of strawberries drenched in chocolate! :) Maybe it's just me embracing my girliness ... but Valentine's Day is the bomb.com. Yesterday I baked cupcakes for everyone in the office (forgot to take a picture) that were filled with a strawberry surprise inside. Boyfriend and I celebrated Valentine's Day over the weekend since we'd both be busy with work during the week. He surprised me with a dinner date at Cork in Wilkes Barre (which was SO yum - the blackberry sangria was AMAZING) and he surprised me with this beautiful ring! Man he has good taste in jewelry! Ignore my hands, they're not the cutest - close up! He's the sweetest ...
Then today at work ... these morsels of yumminess showed up on my desk! Shari's Berries chocolate covered strawberries ... oh my gosh, I ate 3 for lunch. Amazing! <3
Hope your day is filled with candy and hugs! :) Jeff & I are babysitting 3 little kids and sending their parents to The Woodlands for some Valentine's Day ALONE TIME! Pictures and video to come!

Within the deluge of exciting announcements made today in lieu of its New York event, Google announced that it has partnered with Warner Music Group to explode the Play Store's music selection, bringing the media giant's full music catalog to listeners all over the world. This means that Google is now partnered "with all of the major record labels globally," along with many independent labels and all the major US magazine publishers, which is nothing if not good news for consumers.
As some of you may have noticed, I'm Android Police's resident AOKP nut, running the popular custom ROM on both on my Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 7. Good news, everyone: Android Open Kang Project has reached Milestone 1 of its Jelly Bean release, and official downloads are now available for all flavors of Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 7, and Nexus S. More supported devices should be updated tonight and tomorrow.
Unicorn POWAH!
Yesterday my colleague and fellow Android fanatic David Ruddock took a long look at what was revealed in the leaked Nexus 10 images, examining what will almost certainly be the Android tablet interface for Jelly Bean 4.2. I have a lot of respect for David, but in this case I think he's wrong. And since there's little doubt at this point that the Samsung Nexus 10 will have the same basic UI structure as the Nexus 7, I'll go so far as to say that Google is wrong too.
We've covered TeeFury's awesome Android offerings in the past, and today the online purveyor of t-shirts is back with a design inspired by vintage science fiction – The Android Attack by Adams Pinto. The shirt features our favorite green robot as a giant robot monster leaving the wreckage of a city in his wake and, for good measure, stomping on a defenseless piece of fruit I think we'll all recognize.
Now that we've seen Samsung's Galaxy Note II go up for grabs at T-Mo, Sprint, and US Cellular, it's time we began expecting to see Samsung drop kernel source code for the carriers' respective variants. That's just what Sammy has done, recently releasing the open source kernel files for SGH-T889, SCH-R950_USC, SPH-L900_SPR, and a bonus device – AT&T's Galaxy Rugby Pro, lovingly called SGH-I547_ATT.
It looks like a couple of HTC's Asian One X variants are receiving updates to Jelly Bean which appear to have begun rolling out earlier today. XDA users confirm that the update carries Jelly Bean 4.1.1 (not the latest 4.1.2) along with HTC's latest and greatest version of its Sense UI, and weighs in at about 353MB.
You may remember that HTC North Asia's general manager Jack Tong promised that One X owners in Asia could expect the update to begin rolling out to the One X today, with the One S slated to receive some Jelly Bean goodness at an unspecified later date.
After BriefMobile leaked what appear to be the first shots of a near-production-build of Android 4.2 running on a Samsung Nexus 10 tablet this morning, the response from many people has been absolutely vicious: the new UI looks like a giant phone, it doesn't look it's meant for a tablet, the pull-down notification bar doesn't make sense, the centered navigation buttons are going to be harder to reach, etc.
I think, though, that this is reactionary.
Samsung is definitely on a roll with the Galaxy S III updates - not a day goes by without a massive rollout of Jelly Bean to devices all over Europe, and now the Middle East as well. The company began sending Android 4.1.1 OTAs to the following territories:
- Austria (T-Mobile)
- Germany (O2, T-Mobile)
- Middle East: Egypt, Iraq, Turkey, UAE
- Greater Middle East: Afghanistan, Mauritania, Pakistan
- Nordic countries (NEE): Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Greenland, Iceland
Thanks to Eivind for the screenshot
Here's the history of the Jelly Bean updates for the Galaxy S III so far:
- October 25: Sprint in the United States.
Let's start with a disclaimer, shall we? Analysts are generally full of it. When we hear a claim that says, with undeserving certainty, that come 2016 there will be 2.3 billion Android and 2.28 billion Windows devices, we're a little skeptical. The likelihood that anyone knows exactly how many units of a particular platform will sell to that level of accuracy is almost none.
However, as we approach what might just be the single biggest week for Microsoft in decades, it's worth asking the question: are Android and Windows gearing up for a battle over the next few years?
I've been debating posting this all day for the reasons I'll explain below, but based on the feedback from a number of people who claim to be Sprint insiders, the information leaked earlier today in an XDA post by user supercholo may be legitimate. The leak suggests that the Jelly Bean update for Sprint's Galaxy S III may be arriving starting tomorrow, October 25th. Here is the alleged internal memo stating so:
Whether the memo is 100% legitimate or not, and whether Sprint actually follows up tomorrow remains to be seen - it's not the first time the company played tricks on its employees, and it's not the first time a software update was delayed.

No Components For 1080p
Last week, we posted about how the Xbox 360 will support 1080p, upscale DVDs and upscale your games. We've recently learned that copyright restrictions on HD DVD don't allow 1080p over component cables. AACS over HD DVD format doesn't allow them to use the component cables for better output than 1080i. VGA is classified as "authorized computer monitor output". Read More
