Screw USB, seriously. The U stands for Universal, and its far from it. Add on the fact that USB-IF keeps making new standards and causing havoc along the way, and as an additonal effect are adding extra cost to any system because of their fuckery

All of the power negotiation crap that came with USB3, and the constantly changing standard... it wont be long before USB goes the way of SCSI and we end up with 60pin cables with 20 different stanards of operation
