This is just wrong. The Declaration of Independence says: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." It doesn't say "citizens", it says "men". The history buffs will remind me that the Declaration is not law, but we are straying pretty far from fundamental principals that were the bedrock of our country. Should the government be allowed to do this with H1B visa recipients? Folks trying to establish citizenship legally? The best way to avoid this quicksand is to never start getting into it!

I agree we should be skeptical of the claims. I'll give you one scenario that they make sense, however. The noise from the SATA cables interferes with the analog audio cables. It might be that noise from the digital SATA transmission is interfering with the audio, not that the digital SATA stream is corrupted in any way.
