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!"
"simple politeness"??? Seriously?
A guy on a flight two weeks ago thought I was unreasonable when I asked him to turn off his blackberry until we reached 10,000 feet. The FAA and the FCC tell him to leave the goddamned thing off for the duration of the flight, but he's gotta break the law and check it every 20 minutes. Do you think the bozo is going to grant your polite request once the Feds tell him he can light it up?
I fly at least once a month, almost always in one of these tiny Embraer or Canadair pocket jets where the fuselage is about 8 feet in diameter and you spend the entire flight taking turns jamming your elbows into your seatmate or his/hers into yours. I am sincerely amazed that I haven't yet read of flights being diverted due to fistfights breaking out over seat space. If they make matters worse than they already are by allowing in-flight phone calls I cannot be held responsible for my actions.
(That said I wouldn't object to data/sms capability.)
