Closer Look Photo of Thunderbolt (Light Peak) Port

Can someone please explain why it is that I should want this? Will it be compatible with -any- hardware I currently own, or will I have to buy products that are thunderbolt compatible? The old light peak cord looked like it was interchangeable with usb... is this still the case??
PLEASE, It's funny how people somehow belive MR's to be true. THis is mac rumors duh.
THere is no way they would put technology in the low-end model, and not in the high-end. It doesn't follow apple's pattern.

Thunderbolt or Light Peak, what is that? Never heard of it. Area there any peripherals that use it? What happened to UBS3?
So true.
Also, this could become another Apple mediocrity like FireWire. Who still uses FireWire? If I didn't have an ancient iSight plugged in, I'd have NO reason for FW, ever. It's been an antiquity for 3 years now.
Good one! Would make for an awesome product launch.
Dark stage, smoke, Angus steps out with the intro trill to "Thunderstruck", Boom!, full lights, Brian screams "Thunder!" AC/DC runs through the full "Thunderstruck", Brian screeches "Do you want some MacBook Pro?!", louder, "Do you want some MacBook Pro?!"(ala "Dirty Deeds" on Live), introduces Steve...
Man, I gotta get a life.
Just seems too easy to photoshop to be true for me. All someone would have to do is take a current macbook image, take out the Mini DP logo and put in that lightning bolt. Would take maybe 10-15 minutes to do.
Oh yeah... I also can't help but chuckle at some of the poor folks here who are still clinging to "this photo is fake"... get over it. It's real. Whether you like it or not. Plus, this is only the 13" model. There's still more to come.
I already hold a trademark on PowerShower.... that's the name for my...umm..."fleshy device".
rofl.... because it is BRUSHED? Jeez
The finish looks nothing like my 17" aluminum. I'll meet you back here tomorrow.

That "speckling" effect is just camera noise. There's nothing from the photo alone that suggests a material other than aluminum. You can see the speckle effect yourself if you take a picture of your aluminum notebook under low light, especially if you crop and scale.
I like the name a user came up with here of, "ipeak".
Idk, sounds like a bad peeping tom porno movie.
Isn't light peak backwards compatible? So who thinks apple will launch these laptops with dongles that turn that port into usb3 until more light peak devices arrive.

I'm pretty sure he was responding to someone unimpressed with the technology in the 13 inch, and saying that of course, the other models will be better-
Thunderbolt?
Someone in marketing should be fired if that's actually the name. Firewire at least sounded nice with the repeated "ire" it rolled off the tongue. I'm not sure I'm buying this one yet. I like the combo adapter, but hope it doesn't go the way of the ADC port.

Do a closeup of the USB port right next to it!! It's got a weird pin thing in the middle. Any ideas??
