Slightly OT: All these crazy HDMI and USB changes

I just read they've agreed a new standard for USB 3 cables: it won't matter which end is which.

In the process, tho, they will obsoletize all the existing USB cables, flash drives, & etc; because they are going with a mini to micro-mini connectors (to accommodate phonefolk.)
Wanna bet they will be cheaper, or more usefully longer?:]

My real Q tho, is about the bewildering array of HDMI cables even at just one supplier like Malwarts.
A dozen six footer offerings range from $4.15 (Link Depot gold plated HS) to $19.69 (Visio 3D). {And of course the cheapest ones are only from Walmart dotcom, not the stores.}

Some claim high speed, or thin, or backwards compatible, or even ethernet...

What besides price are important features for an HDMI cable thee days?

And Merry Xma$ too! :D
