Thunderbolt, the fastest and versatile I/O technology
Thunderbolt is Apple's new MacBook Pro super-fast connection technology. This dual-channel 10Gbs both enable you to transfer to and from your devices. With this new technology, you can move data 20 times faster than USB 2.0 and more than 12 times faster than FireWire 800. This mean you can now transfer a 10-20GB full-length HD movie in less than 30 seconds!
Thunderbolt technology was first introduced in 2009 under code name Light Peak. It was originally conceived as an optical technology but because of cost it changed to use electrical copper wire. Thunderbolt has a theoretical maximum data transfer rate of 10Gbs as compare to 800Mbps by Firewire 800, USB 2.0's 480Mbps and USB 3.0's 4Gbps.
High speed data transfer and high performance display
Thunderbolt supports devices using PCI Express(PCIe) for data transfer with 10Gbps in both directions. Which means you can move data to and from peripherals at the 10Gbps. You can also connect to USB, FireWire, Gigabit Ethernet and Fibre Channel networks by using adapters. Thunderbolt also support native support for Apple's Mini DisplayPort display and DisplayPort, DVI, HDMI and VGA displays through adapters. The bus-powered interface provides 10 watts of power to peripherals, so you can do your heavy duty projects on the go with external hard drive without a power cable.
With low latency and highly-accurate time synchronisation, Thunderbolt technology is best for HD video capture and editing. Large data backed up and files are transferred faster so you can spend more time for productive works.
Next generation of I/O technology
As we increasingly accumulate digital media (HD video and high mega pixel images) and document files, we will need more and more storage space and time to manage it. Currently LaCie and Promise Pegasus have unveiled their Thunderbolt compatible external hard drives.
This is just the beginning. Intel are working with component manufacturers for more Thunderbolt peripherals, high speed data storage devices, audio/video devices and high performance display. Soon working with "Gigabytes" files will feel like "Megabytes" files now.

How do I hook up my macbook to an HDTV?
I'm guessing a DVI to HDMI cable but is that for PCs? Confused, thank you!!
Depends on what kind of macbook you have. Some use Mini-DVI (Mini-DVI to HDMI adapter and HDMI cable), others Mini Displayport (Mini displayport to HDMI adapter and HDMI cable).
Mini-DVI port looks like this:

Mini Displayport looks like this:

Older macbook pro's do have DVI ports. But you said you have a macbook, not a macbook pro. But if you mispoke, a DVI port looks like this (and you would use DVI to HDMI cable)
