Look Into The Light



Nearly every day clients ask us when Apple is going to support USB 3, and we have to answer that we don't know. Alleged emails from Applemeister Steve Jobs indicate the answer may be... never.

And the mirage of Firewire 1600... appears to be exactly that. So then, what is Apple up to?

Light Peak could be the answer. Besides having the coolest name since FireWire, on the surface it seems very interesting.

But that seems about to change, with this article from AppleInsider today.
