I agree -- I wasn't suggesting that the efficiency would go over readers' heads. I was generalizing :) I will add the efficiency of the technology to the story now.

Hi, author here. I agree, there is a lot more that tech blogs could do to help the reader. The problem is, that kind of extra detail isn't really possible without specializing -- and if you specialize, you limit the size of your audience. T

AFAIK, Apple relaxed the restriction on cross-compiled code (Flash-to-iOS) last year. This isn't a dynamic interpreter is it? The Android Java code is compiled, and then inserted into an iOS Dalvik wrapper app. I am not an Apple or Android

re: your first point -- I looked into the MBP tear-down on iFixit when I wrote this post. They identify a chip that is 'probably the Thunderbolt controller' -- but yes, I don't think they identified if there was a separate DisplayPort contr

I am sure that there are many technologies that are inherently better than USB -- but it's not always the better technology that wins. (VHS vs. Betmax...) Don't generalize, by the way - if details are false or irrelevant, please mention the

No, true enough. It would be cool if Intel spoke out about the actual cost of Light Peak -- I mean, _can_ it be as cheap as USB 3.0, or is it inherently an expensive technology? FireWire controllers, for example, are still many times more e

I suspect Intel is a bit torn between USB 3.0 and Light Peak integration. Light Peak would be very expensive to integrate into every motherboard they ship -- but yes, Light Peak definitely has a stronger chance of taking off because of the

Don't forget, Sony was the other large proponent of FireWire. They have a big vested interest with their video gear, I guess. Could the USB-IF actually block a fiber-and-wire USB-socket-compatible implementation?

That figure is from an OEM. I was just shying away from the (magnificently over-used) phrase 'according to unnamed sources familiar with the situation...' Also, look at the Matrox pricing! (Or the prices of any other Thunderbolt-enabled dev

It should be comparable. It's hard to say, without putting two machines side by side and seeing which one boots fastest/lasts the longest :) If the hardware is the same, though, performance should be the same.
