Engadget:
"Get ready, speed freaks. USB 3.0, the oft-rumored, much-discussed, rarely seen new standard heading our way has been spotted, sliced, chopped, and diced at CES 2008. Actually, we just got a chance to check the connectors and compare with the old 2.0 standard (which the reps tell us is backward compatible, of course). With speeds of 4.8 Gbit/s (600 MB/s), and a powering system which intelligently cuts the juice when you're not using a device, we have a feeling you'll want. Too bad we all have to wait till 2010... the year we make contact... with USB 3.0."
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
Spiders: "We're going to cut straight to the chase so you're not left wondering: After a long period without clear answers, we have received confirmation that Spiders is being liquidated.
What does it mean? This means the company as a whole no longer exists. We'll cease our functions immediately. The planned DLC will release via Nacon, and then-- well, that's it.
We're sorry that it's come to this and would like to thank each and every one of you for your support over the years.
If you have any questions or run into issues with your games, please contact Nacon directly as we'll no longer be able to reply."
Uhh oh.. USB 3.0 comes equipped with STD's....-A lol.
Anyways, now all we need is hard drives for our portable devices that can actually read data that fast lol. (Although some of the new solid state drives might. Don't know.)
I like the intelligent power-save feature...
that would definitely help with my overzealous power usage.... =P
Till 2010 lol, I'm glad because I still don't have USB 2.0 o.o. This computer is a piece-o-sh!t.
USB 3.0 is long overdue. Most people's first computer had USB 2.0 and now we're still using USB 2.0.
may be its because of power consumption..
for higher speed u need higher frequency (serial ports) .. and higher frequency means faster respones (for example USB2 gaming mice compare to USB ones..) and Higher power consumption..
and portable devices like LAPTOPS or PMP s etc cant handle this one.. u need a new Battery technology for it ..
but u can have an external hard drive with dedicated power cord and a desktop pc to use full speed of USB3 .. but it isnt enough for mass market.
