Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I finally got a new laptop with a lone USB 3.0 port. I'm now looking at getting a USB 3.0 hub with a power adapter so I can use both of my USB 3.0 hard drives at faster speeds. I've read lots of horror stories where some hubs either don't come with power adapters -- and as a consequence the portable drives don't work with them properly -- or they are designed poorly which results in USB 2.0 speeds. Or, the hard drives keep getting disconnected. Do your readers have any suggestions or experience using USB 3.0 hubs? Thanks!"
I'm missing how we're being dishonest by not bagging on this stuff in real time -- have any of you ever liveblogged and photographed a keynote before? There's not a lot of room for editorializing until after the fact, and I think I made it pretty clear that I felt these were some relatively boring announcements. As for the hype? Well, you call it hype, I think we were just having fun with our jobs. I don't expect most people to understand what it's like writing for Engadget all day every day, but when a convincing "leaked" iPod photo comes in, you run it. And when the Internet's abuzz about this event, you have fun with it -- like we did with WWJD3. People like to think we're pandering to Apple or some such nonsense, but we really follow the twists and turns of so many big companies (like RIM, Sony, and Samsung, to name a few) it's pretty silly to take that stance.
