USB "Improvement"
« on: March 30, 2014, 04:26:18 PM »
This is just depressing: http://www.popsci.com/article/gadgets/next-generation-usb-connector-will-plug-either-way. The only plus side is that the manufacturers will make boatloads of money selling adapters for old USBs.

It's about bloody time. USB 3, firewire, etc. they all use odd-angled connectors. A universal USB would be fantastic. Don't worry about the cost of an adapter, they'll be cheap.

Trust me, this is a good thing.

I dunno, I'm still skeptical, and plus, I've heard people talk about them being more fragile this time around. Time will tell...

hell I would be all in favor of adopting Apples Thunderbolt Connector if it could handle the bus load for anything beyond iDevices.
