With a little help from their friends at iFixit, the technology watchdogs at Ars Technica have dug into the design of Apple's proprietary -- and, at a retail cost of $50, some might say pricey -- Thunderbolt I/O cable. The first Thunderbolt compatible peripherals (Promise's Pegasus RAIDs) started shipping this month, and use of them requires separate purchase of the cable. As reported by Ars's Chris Foresman, "We dug into the design of the cable to find out why Apple felt justified in charging $50 for some plastic-wrapped copper wire, and why Thunderbolt may have a hard time gaining traction outside of the higher-end storage and video device market—a fate similar to Apple's FireWire."
