Posted by timothy on from the slow-boat-to-the-racetrack dept.

thefickler writes "Seagate and Symwave are jointly demonstrating the first consumer applications of USB 3.0 at CES, showing a Seagate FreeAgent drive running through a Symwave USB 3.0-compatible storage controller device. According to Symwave, this will result in 'speeds previously unattainable with legacy USB technology.' Which means, if you understand PR-write, it will be much faster."

    See, not all government intervention is bad :)

    In further news, the Chinese government has announced its intention to murder and harvest the organs of anyone caught selling a new or used cellular telephone without a mini-USB jack for charging and data interchange beginning July 15, 2009.

    Yay government intervention!

    You did catch that article on the Chinese death vans, right?
