Fact of the Day:

itching and swelling.

Catfish are the only animals that naturally have an odd number of whiskers.

The first ice pop dates back to 1923, when lemonade salesman Frank Epperson
left a glass of lemonade

with a spoon in it on a windowsill one very cold night; the next morning the
ice pop was born.

Apple's new MacBook has a single USB Type-C port, but this isn't an
Apple-only standard. This is a new USB standard, and - given time - it'll
spread to everything that currently uses an older, larger USB connector.

USB Type-C is closely intertwined with other new standards, like USB 3.1 for
faster speeds and USB Power Delivery for improved power-delivery over USB
connections.

Type-C is a New Connector Shape

USB Type-C is a new, tiny physical connector. The connector itself can
support various exciting new USB standard like USB 3.1 and USB power
delivery (USB PD).

The standard USB connector you're most familiar with is USB Type-A. Even as
we've moved from USB 1 to USB 2 and on to modern USB 3 devices, that
connector has stayed the same. It's as massive as ever, and it only plugs in
one way - so you have to make sure it's oriented correctly when you plug it
in.

But other devices wanted to use USB, too! Those massive USB ports won't fit
on smartphones, digital cameras, game controllers, and all the other devices
out there you might want to plug in via USB. So many other shapes of
connector were born, including "micro" and "mini" connectors.

This collection of differently shaped connectors for different-size devices
is coming to a close. USB Type-C is a new connector standard that's very
small. It's about a third the size of an old USB Type-A plug. This is a
single connector standard that every device should be able to use. You'll
just need a single cable, whether you're connecting an external hard drive
to your laptop or charging your smartphone from a USB charger. That one tiny
connector can be small and fit into a mobile device, or be the powerful port
you use to connect all the peripherals to your laptop. The cable itself has
USB Type-C connectors at both ends - it's all one connector.

Yes, this is many awesome things at once. Not only is it reversible, it's a
single USB connector shape all devices should adopt. No more messes of
different USB cables with different connector shapes for all the various
devices you want, and no more massive ports taking up an unnecessary amount
of room on ever-thinner devices.

USB Type-C ports can support a variety of different protocols using
"alternate modes," which allows you to have adapters that can output HDMI,
VGA, DisplayPort, or other types of connections from that single USB port,
for example.

connector via a single port. The mess of USB, HDMI, DisplayPort, VGA, and
power ports on typical laptops can be streamlined into a single type of
port.
