Apple also supports USB 3.0. go nuts with it if thats what you want, but they are not madefor the same kind of applications.

For some professional enviroments Apple still considers Thunderbolt to be useful. Its sad that they are the only ones thinking this way becouse it truly is a good solution and having more brands on board will probably push the price of cables and docks down, but if we are going to point fingers I think Intel is the one we should point them to.

Considering Intel forced them to use it as a condition of going with a complete platform solution for Apple hardware, it's not a bad idea to point a great deal of the blame at them.

But it's been nearly three goddamned years and the uptake on Thunderbolt is nothing short of pathetic; some of the blame has got to rest with Apple.
