Aren't RadioShack cables much more expensive? $10 doesn't seem that bad to me. I've never found a USB cable in-store for less than like $25.

You have to generate new credit card numbers to do that too.

GCO is still costing the Google a lot of money, I don't know how they manage to keep the promotion.

I havn't paid more then $3 for a USB cable in a long time & yes the cheap ones work just fine.

In fact I recall that Maximum PC tested the performance of USB cables shortly after the release of USB 2.0 ... they tested 5 or 6 cables ranging from an expensive/fancy Monster cable to an old USB 1.0 cable from "the back of the closet" & the performance difference was barely measurable.

Spending extra for "high-performance" USB cables is a waste of money.

Simply by witnessing the gold plating, a few devices I worked on earlier in the day became more efficient. No lie!

actually, I think the printer, if it has the recent AI v.0.9b, may decide "if I print slower, maybe I'll get to enjoy the awesomeness that would be a connection made with that glorious cable!" :p

For $10, I would get that one if I needed one.

I have never seen a USB cable with LED indicators.
