I just ran into an article about Apple pushing Light Peak.... http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/26/exclusive-apple-dictated-light-peak-crea= tion-to-intel-could-be/ Hard to know what to believe Gus http://www.pcworld.com/article/194226/intel_says_its_light_peak_optical_cab= les_may_succeed_usb.html Intel sees its Light Peak technology for linking devices by optical cable as potentially succeeding USB 3.0, a change that in several years could mean the disappearance of a port used almost universally in gadgets today. Light Peak can currently transfer data at a speed of 10G bps (bits per second), or fast enough to send a full Blu-Ray movie in less than half a minute, according to Intel. But the technology could be scaled up to 10 times that speed in the next decade, Intel says. --=20 http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist --=20 http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist .
