What I don’t like about USB is the way the connector wiggles back and forth in the USB port. I have accidentally bumped into a USB cable a couple of times when it was playing music from an external drive, and it caused the computer to crash.

I notice the first advantage listed is “green”, but in the scheme of things, the power savings will not even be rounding error on power usage. Moreover, not a single thought is given to the total life-cycle environmental burden of rendering devices obsolete and constructing the replacement.

No matter what other reasons this advance is good, this particular bullet point is Typical Magical Thinking by those trapped in green prison.

I'd be for it just for the standardization. I'll tolerate carrying A charger around. Four or five, not so much.

So I bought this zippy new ultrabook. Razor-thin, you can carry it around in a manila envelope. My portage problems, solved! Well, except for its charger, the phone charger, the external optical drive, the external disk drive, the mouse, the USB hub, the USB thumbs, the wireless AP, the Kindle, the iPad, and the cabling for all that crapola...

Only a limousine liberal could afford to double wire their home to take advantage of the energy savings. For the rest of us: what’s the payback period?
