A compromised effort to salvage TB that is too little too late.

I hate to say it, shades of the Firewire fiasco...
A "fiasco" that has literally millions of people using a superior communications pipeline than USB where performance really matters that is now in thousands of products?FlintAlan Baker
I will also say this, this time it is through no fault of Apple's, however. This is purely Intel's screwup...
I love how, when Firewire was way ahead of USB in speed, all you trolls could talk about was how Firewire wasn't really something that Apple had any hand in creating (it was all TI, right?), but now that you call it a "fiasco", you hand the credit back to Apple.
:-)
I wasn't one of those trolls. I was annoyed with Apple for their quick nickle/long dime approach on the per port licensing model for firewire, but I was in favor of firewire over USB for years.
