Well, that's not true entirely. They could enlarge the port in some way to provide asymmetry, and previous generation plugs would still fit, but I would think that would make for loose connections when using older generation plugs.

Now, if they decide to drop backwards compatibility, they could change the shape slightly to make it impossible to jam a plug in upside down...]]>Nov 6th 2008 10:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/06/usb-3-0-specification-to-be-formally-unveiled-this-month/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/06/usb-3-0-specification-to-be-formally-unveiled-this-month/
If they were to change the shape of the port, they could make a dongle to connect older devices.]]>Nov 6th 2008 11:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/06/usb-3-0-specification-to-be-formally-unveiled-this-month/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/06/usb-3-0-specification-to-be-formally-unveiled-this-month/Nov 6th 2008 10:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/06/usb-3-0-specification-to-be-formally-unveiled-this-month/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/06/usb-3-0-specification-to-be-formally-unveiled-this-month/

Every new generation of technology makes it harder to comprehend two things for me: How can we keep this pace up and where is the usefulness threshold? Yet it keeps chuggin' on without missing a beat, and enthusiasts like us will always push our systems to their limits.

I guess I don't really have a point.]]>Nov 6th 2008 3:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/06/usb-3-0-specification-to-be-formally-unveiled-this-month/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/06/usb-3-0-specification-to-be-formally-unveiled-this-month/
Think of USB like a fat, bitchy girlfriend that makes you drive you to the movies, take her to dinner, and buy her shoes and has the audacity to tell you that she's waiting until marriage and that she wants another bowl of ice cream in the same breath.

If anyone has a Firewire analogy, go for it, cause I'm about to cry about my past memories.]]>Nov 6th 2008 4:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/06/usb-3-0-specification-to-be-formally-unveiled-this-month/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/06/usb-3-0-specification-to-be-formally-unveiled-this-month/Nov 6th 2008 6:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/06/usb-3-0-specification-to-be-formally-unveiled-this-month/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/06/usb-3-0-specification-to-be-formally-unveiled-this-month/Nov 7th 2008 2:36AM
