I love this part:

Power friendly. USB 3.0 will use an interrupt-driven protocol instead of a polling system when the host is looking for traffic. That means your laptop won’t have to waste precious resources trying to see if a connected camera is trying to send data.

I hate that I have so many devices that us USB to charge, but I have to have so many USB hubs to charge them.

If I'm understanding that correctly, you won't be able to charge anything if its not active?

errr, it was late and I meant to use this one?

More power output. The power output will be bumped up from 100 milliamps to 900 milliamps. You’ll therefore be able to charge more power-hungry devices at a single time.

ah, now that makes a big difference

funny how that works.
