The fifth annual installment of WebhostingDay has kicked off in Bruehl, Germany and has already been the source of several great happenings and conference talks. Last evening was the 'Come Together'' party at the Ling Bao Hotel which featured live music from the 70's and 80's. The meeting and networking event attracted several hundred participants and lasted well into the night. The beer and wine flowed freely, and the food served was among the best cuisine served at a trade event in my entire life.

In a blog post, Intel employee Nick Knupffer reported that the USB 3.0 host controller specification will be released to the public in the second half of 2008. He rebuffed rumors that Intel was the single developer of the new technology, or that it intended to keep the new wired USB standard away from the competition.
