Intel’s Thunderbolt vs AMD’s Lightning Bolt or Just an Open Source Standard?

Don't ever think for even a minute that the best technologies always win. They frequently don't. A gorilla at the playground can often beat-up the smaller, but very intelligent so-called "nerd". Intel may know their Thunderbolt will fade from the scene in the same way that FireWire has diminished, but it may still be used to keep the smaller "nerd" from getting a decent meal at the cafeteria. Right about now AMD could really use a good, hot meal.
