Sharp Support for USB 3.0
Looks like Linux is moving and shaking again!
First OS to support the new USB 3.0 specs and major work done by a chick! You go girl!! (p.s. I’d hit that…)
The xHCI (USB 3.0) host controller driver and initial support for
USB 3.0 devices is now publicly available on my kernel.org git
tree. Greg K-H has queued the patches for 2.6.31, so Linux users should
have official USB 3.0 support around September 2009. This is impeccable timing,
since NEC recently announced they’ll be producing
1 million xHCI PCI express add-in cards in September.

Looks like FireWire is going to lose this standards war unless Apple and Sony try to keep it alive. Personally, I think that USB is fucking great and after 12 years of being around, serial ports, parallel ports and all the other wacky ports on the back of your PC should be gone.
