Intel and others plan to release a new version of the ubiquitous Universal Serial Bus technology in the first half of 2008, a revamp the chip maker said will make data transfer rates more than 10 times as fast by adding fiber-optic links alongside the traditional copper wires. Intel is working with fellow USB 3.0 Promoters Group members Microsoft, Hewlett-Packard, Texas Instruments, NEC and NXP Semiconductors to release the USB 3.0 specification in the first half of 2008, said Pat Gelsinger, general manager of Intel's Digital Enterprise Group, in a speech here at the Intel Developer Forum.

The guy at best buy told me that I have to use a quality printer cable if I want quality prints.
Seriously though, you're right. I'm waiting for the class action law suit against best buy for their damn cable prices and lying to consumers.
HDMI is the worst. They'll tell you the picture quality on your digital tv from your digital dvd player will be better if you use a $150 cable.
My $3.50 HDMI cable from monoprice.com works just fine.
Digital is great, 1's and 0's, it either works or it doesn't, nothing in between. If I see a picture on my TV I know that it is impossible for the cable to be any better.
