Sarah Sharp, of the Intel Open Source Technology Center has said today that Linux will be the first operating system to officially support USB 3.
The support will soon be integrated into the Linux kernel.
“This is a giant project that I’ve been working on for the past year and a half. It’s gratifying to see the code finally released, and exciting to know that hardware is on its way,” says Sharp. “I hope that some USB vendors who have prototypes will test with my driver.”
USB 3, sometimes referred to as SuperSpeed USB has potential data transfer rates of up to 4.8Gbits/sec, a 10x improvement from the current standard, USB 2.

Dell has introduced a cheaper but more accurate replacement to their mid-grade 2007WFP LCD model dubbed the 2009W.
According to Dell, “the 2009W can reproduce 102% of the NTSC color range and boosts the contrast ratio from 800:1 to 2,000:1 through dynamic adjustments.” The display is also faster and sports a 5ms average pixel response time.
The display also improves on its predecessor’s input connections by allowing VGA input for analog video, a four-port USB hub, and HDCP encryption support for its DVI connector. The price is also cheaper than its predecessor, and retails for $289 USD.
