    There is a joke when an small older car, slammed the brand new BMW from behind

    and the on-board computer in the BMW
    showed on the display:

    "Found new hardware, want to install?"

    I'm from Europe, so ain't aware of what is going on over seas.

    I installed an older Debian build in an old 1979 Cutlass Ciera. Sure, the hardware is kind of decrepit and not in regular circulation, but there's probably some enthusiast out there compiling a build that will allow me to hotswap the catalytic converter.

    I'm also waiting for Griffin to finally release the iPod connector that will let me hook up my iTouch to my 8-Track. I can't be the only one out there with an avocado green Cutlass with the factory 8-Track and an iTouch.

    This is ridiculous. A usb port implanted into organic material would never work without the supporting hardware, power, and internal circuitry. Software and drivers are completely irrelevant.

    Actually you'll get about 6 different projects all run by different people. And they'll bicker and argue over which is the proper way to implement it, instead of actually working on it. And then you'll get 3 forks each of those 6 projects, run by 17 new people. The original project starters will have gotten tired of the project by then and dropped. Six months later all of the projects will be dead, with nobody having actually gone beyond pre-alpha stage. /cynicism

    You'd have to have a very fast external drive, nay, a RAID or fast SSD to utilize anything much over USB 2.0 speeds.

    @Dane Bendixen:


    Exactly! People who say they're going to hold off buying computers until USB 3.0 is released are deluding themselves.


    Unless you have striped SSDs, the speed bottleneck is going to come at the HDD level. TO whoever is holding off buying a Macbook: Macbook HDDs spin at like 5400 RPM, there is no way you're going to see any improvement in speeds in 3.0 vs 2.0 because your HDD just isn't fast enough.

    If Apple was kind enough to license it for free, then the manufacturers should be kind enough to sell the adapters for the cost of making them.
