I love the part about TB and E3 being the same, strange, since
I have met both of them personally, and they look totally different, have different names, don't even speak the same langs. and have totally different marketing and plans, all tho both at been each other back trying to out do each other since the early PS2 days.

The TB Dongle has already been stopped three times over the last year in production, and restarted with a new design, no reason not say this will not be the same case also.
Rumors are just Rumors nothing more, there been no official word or nothing, all
I personally know is couple people are on short summer vacation after the last batch of eboots and will be returning to their desks, refreshed and ready for action very soon.
