Are you nuts???? I mean seriously, Apple's Desktop Bus was for Apples and get this. . . ONLY WORKED WITH APPLES!! Anyway point is this, how much does a webcam really need for bandwidth when it transmitts a &#@% picture at 640x480 anyway? Or how about your printer/scanner setup? Your limited by the hardway there my friend. The scanner and printer cartridge can only move so fast. Not to mention, an RJ45 connector??? Those are easily 2.5 times the size of a USB connector. So your telling us that our Motorola phones with the mini USB connectors could do better with an ethernet connector? Get real. Plus whats ethernet good for now anyway? 1Gb a sec? USB 3.0 4.7Gb a sec? Seems ovbious to me.
Not to mention that most computers come with TWO (2) Ethernet connectors. I dont care what system your running. I have a BEAUTIFUL gaming rig with the option for 3 ethernet cables but ya know what. I run one and why? The drivers for my NIC card DISABLE the built in ports. So you want us all to go out and get 3-5 PCI/PCIx cards to be able to run something on ethernet? Get lost because I want my 8800GTX and my X-Fi card and my Killer NIC.

If your agreeing with Herby you dont deserve to be here. If firewire was so much better why is there only one ONE (count that 1) port for it on my laptop? And two (yes 2) on my desktop? Ill give you that two on the desktop are Firewire 800s but what uses that? NOTHING!! I have yet to see an external HDD use a firewire 800 port and im sure you do too. Ill ive you that you stated that firewire is limited to 1-2 ports. But common if your using CPU on your network with ethernet your doing something wrong. My CPU is currently running at 0-1% (yes thats right AT MOST 1%) usage. and im watching a video from my laptop as I type this.
Firewire hasnt been adopted, is hardly supported, and Heck even Apple wants to get rid of it. I could plug my G15 Keyboard into an Apple and it would work. I say go go USB 3.0 power. If I can get speeds that in theory could top eSATA then I would buy it.
