USB On-the-Go Go Go Go
abhikhurana writes "
There is an interesting article on CNET about a new USB standard called USB
On-the-Go. Apparently this new technology is an offshoot of USB2 and it can
remove the limitation of the master slave operation of normal USB devices,
where you need a Host PC (the Master) to talk with the peripherals (the
slaves). So using this, theoretically you can print using
your digital camera directly on your printer or maybe
connect two PDAs together to exchange some files. One thing that the
article doesn't mention though is the speed one can expect from such a
connection. If its as fast as USB2 then I think it can also act as the
replacement for NICs for interconnecting two PCs. But considering that
many wireless technologies like bluetooth offer similar opertational
capabilities,albeit they are much slower, can USB On-the-Go really be a success?

This just goes to show, when you put PhysicsGenious on your foes list and he gets enough positive moderation to get through the filter anyway, it tends to really be a high quality troll. Moderation is working as expected: my god, that is some good bullshit.
