Good lord, I think I have never seen such ignorance. Even faced with clear proof that your understanding of the word "peripheral" is simply wrong, you choose to ignore any facts that don't fit your opinion, and come up with pretty much the same, completely pointless argument.

While I see what you mean, the original post was about an article which referred to the Kinect as a 'preipheral' in the sense of 'extra, non-essential device.' The word they opposed it with was 'pack-in.'

"Kinect is a peripheral, not a pack-in."

So rather than debate about what the word peripheral means IN REAL LIFE, especially with regards to COMPUTERS, this should be kept about debating it with regards to what the article writer was intending.

Otherwise, there's just going to be a bunch of back and forth arguments.

Its because the OP is using incorrect terminology and mixing up arguments that is causing the back and forth debating...

If he was clear about what he meant then we wouldnt be having this discussion.
