Hi, I work for Intel. For Intel's side of the story, pls read this: http://blogs.intel.com/technology/2008/06/usb_30_for_the_masses_dispelli.php

If Intel is dicking off on the whole thing, I say go with the industry and let them create a standard, especially if they create an open standard.

That's the least thing anyone needs.
For highspeed Flash- and Harddrives you can use eSATA, so just put more sleeves of 'em on the boards.
And for the crap like printers, mice, keyboards, USB 2.0 is definitely fast enough!

This is afterall just another way to make money so naturally intel will want to hide it from their competition till they are guaranteed to gain profit from the design.

Oh and Alex just because you dislike religion don't use it as an analogy. Islam is a religion that uses truth to spread rather then just pointing to the Quran and saying with no backing this is the truth. don't flame when you need not to.

The switch to digital TV is not a waste of money. In fact, it will make money because the government will be able to auction off spectrum and companies will be able to use it for wireless telecom and devices... basically making a ton of money. DTV allows for channels that are closer together and some of the lower frequency UHF channels (which travel further than devices using the 1800/1900 band, or even the 850/900 band for that matter.

Is this another one of those: "My light-sabre's bigger than yours, because you've Not been baptised a JEDEC Knight by submission in the better part of a 10 litre box of wine" deals? "Well he can't be a man 'cause he doesn't smoke the same cigarrettes as me.'"
So a triple-decker Universal Serial Bus? With that twirly, she'd be off with the nearest lorry driver she could find.
Please keep us informed about which bus driver will be taking the crew to the launching pad.

Might gross the EU another billion in fines later on! I wonder what they'll do with it though, pay expensive trips for diplomats I guess?

Through all the greed, anti-competitive and manipulative practices many, many people still happily tongue the a*** of this company and I fail to see why?

They are like those religious freaks that’ll bash the s*** out of you with their holy book rather than listen to the perverted truth.

Flaws or Down Right Swindle. 
Take Upcoming ATSC television switch, One Hundred Billion US $ about to be Wasted for NO purpose. Intel makes chips for TV Remotes, Washer driers?, Toys that Burp, & where did Intel steal technology from? 
I do not know. yet given quality of Engineering, It Must Be From Monkey Island.

Basicly You Can Thank Thomson for glut after glut of BAD product, Well, just about entire Industry is Overblown with inane product.

We are only speaking of actual value of Resistor & size of Capacitor, Nothing too chippy difficult, Except when Money Gets involved. InVole, MicroVoles Siamese buddie.

Also, surely there will be units made to finalize all standards, as one, so if your wrong now, you might get second chance, then again, might not.
