New USB 3.0 spec promises instant Gratification

Intel , HP , Microsoft , NEC , NXP Semiconductors, and Texas instruments have formed the USB 3.0 Promoter group to formulate a new USB spec for next-generation PCs, Peripherals, and digital media devices. The New super speed standard promises to deliver near instant gratification whenever user need to quickly transfer large, bandwidth hungry files, " The digital ERA requires high speed performance and reliable connectivity to move the enormous amounts of digital content now present in everyday life, " said jeff Pavencraft, the president of the USB implements forum ( USB-IF ) - the trade association ultimately responsible for the new specification's development. As the new logical step for the PC's most popular wired connectivity, " USB 3.0 will be available to mountains of digital data at super speeds "while maintaining the ease -of-use experience that user have come to love and expect from any USB technology," Ravencraft said. USB 3.0 will achieve a 10x boost in bandwidth throughput in comparison with present day USB 2.0. In other words , if it takes 10 minutes today to load up and iPod with a wide selection of multimedia tacks, it would only take 60 seconds to perform the same task over a USB 3.0 connection.

Linux . You Can DO It !

Linux is hot again. In face there's never been a better time for Microsoft windows user to give Linux a whirl. the operating system is more usable than ever, easier to install and more compatible with PC hardware. It still help to be somewhat tech-savvy to get the most out of Linux, but there is no longer a major requirement. If you are reading this, you are already have what it takes.


Not long ago , Linux seemed ready to make a serious dent in a supremacy of windows on the PC desktop. Corporations had begun to adopt it, and consumers versions appeared that removed much of the Unix-based operating system's oft-discussed user-unfriendliness. Suddenly installing Linux and getting a PCs hardware to work was no longer solely the province of techies : Pretty well anyone can install it, work with it , and even use it regularly.


That was a few years ago. since then linux's fortunes have gone up and down, but development of this open source OS and its open source applications have continued apace. This year , something else has happened that always seems to spur interest in alternative OS's : Microsoft released a new OS of its own. Possibly because upgrading to Vista costs lost of money in hardware upgrades, or maybe just because getting a new OS reawakens PC users; enjoyment of expermintening with new software. Linux is cool again.
