Newnex FireNEX800-SX Single Mode Repeater — FireWire for miles

13635586 a11ab8c133 m Newnex FireNEX800 SX Single Mode Repeater    FireWire for milesFireWire Depot has announced the Newnex FireNEX800-SX: a 800 Mbps 1394b Single Mode Repeater (USD$1,950) capable of sending IEEE1394 signals across a single mode optical fiber cable up to 10,000 meters in length! It does this utilizing an IEEE1394 PHY and optical transceiver (yeah I don’t understand that either–but 10,000 meters!!). The FireNEX800-SX is contained within a small box slightly larger than an iPod, which makes it unobtrusive and compact, allowing you to place it on a desktop already crowded with other things.

TheMacMind gets Slashdotted on leaked Flash-based iPod images

The great folks over at TheMacMind have acquired a leaked image of the rumored flash-based iPod. The tiny little screenless iPod is about the size of a pack of dental floss and consists of little more than the iPod’s famous click-wheel. The rumor looks promising and kudos to TheMacMind for scoring such an image. Their site is currently in bandwidth conservation mode as they fight to stay online in spite of the increased traffic driven to them from Slashdot.
