How many apple products does one need to be a fanboy? I have products
Intel, AMD, Apple, MS, LG, ASUS, Logitech, Gigabyte, Silverstone,
Coolermaster, Corsair, Epson, HP, Samsung, Hannspree, Viewsonic,
Panasonic, Seagate, Western Digital, Canon, Sony, kodak, HTC,
Barnes&Noble, etc in here right now. Even a Dell laptop. I'm sure I
could name some more, but my finger tips are hurting now.
I am digging on my iPad 2, though. I love reading National Geographic
on-the-go on this thing!

very limited usage at the moment and is exclusive to Apple products
only. What part of that did you Apple fanboys not understand? LOL

That's the exact trend I was about to comment on. If this was AMD's
technology, it'd be the greatest thing since the scroll wheel. It
gets old.
By the way, I hate the name Thunderbolt.

So, by your definition, any new tech is a gimmick. I guess you hate on
everyone except amd these days, huh?

products? Really? Good first effort by Intel and Job's Mob. LOL Oh
yeah,
Intel
changed their minds and based it on copper instead of fiber. The
company
any intelligent person loves to despise more than Intel itself. LOL
Or is
that
Microsoft?

Imagine having that kind of speed with future SSD's capable of
utilizing
it. This
is precisely the reason Intel has been very slow to adopt USB 3 in
their
chipsets. They want to bypass and supplant USB 3 entirely.

this is
