I built my first crystal radio at about the age of ten (had help with the soldering iron) and have been dabbling in the analog electronics field ever since. The "James Brown of Analog": I do like James Brown and have I been working in the electronics industry for many years. I’m also a big fan of Reggae and Ska and spent my youth listening to John Peel on Radio 1. Ken Boothe is the greatest singer. Running is a passion. Squaw Valley is the best place to ski. Ever!

Seventeen USB 3.0 enabled products were announced at the Consumer Electronics show (CES) this week in Las Vegas. Named “SuperSpeed” for the 10x speed increase, these products included ASUS and Giga-Byte Technology motherboards, HP and Fujitsu notebook PC’s, internal and external hard disk drives, USB 3.0 to PCI Express add-in cards and USB 3.0 to SATA storage controllers. Many more consumer products and silicon devices benefitting from the 10X speed increase over USB 2.0 are expected to be announced this year.
At the this year’s CES, one of Synopsys’ USB 3.0 and HDMI customers, Displaylink demonstrated how the speed of USB 3.0 enables flawless transmission of uncompressed 1080P high definition video and 3D gaming over USB.Â
