Is the MacResource News DEAD?

Yahoo Pipes was what I wanted to deploy there, but it was unfamiliar territory.

If you are interested in this technology — of basically creating organizational blocks that then function
to update itself - read here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yahoo!_Pipes

It is a very simple technology that would have been perfect for anyone to manage it. Obviously there are
other sources available - because other places are loaded with news. But the traffic here doesn’t warrant
paying for it.

Pipes would have permitted a cost-free way to manage news content on the site by looking at the very referral
sites that was part of the subscription services.

But hey… I’m not a programmer, I just designed the layout of the thing and the Deals page, and teamed
to make the hidden side work better for those I hired to populate it with deals.

Then I had other projects to move forward with.

Rhonda & I both have discussed it with Larry and the IT guys numerous times. It appears that the issue is he news subscription service is no longer available, and IT has not got around to repurposing that area of the page. For now I am just providing my own news feed ....

I'd like to pre-order 5 of these please. NOW!

Whoa, whoa...you mean to tell me that users aren't continuing to rise up to get the YouTube MP3 Downloader reinstated?

17 FW800 slots seems like a waste. They (Oxford) tested FW3200 at 1 meter, successfully, then down
clocked it and basically that IS FW-800 (as I recall reading somewhere 6 years ago).

(Actually not kidding — here it is — FW3200 IS FireWire D3200, which is essentially IEEE 1394b)

After that comes FireWire 6400 — or 6.4 gigabit/sec. This is IEEE 1394d - using Fiber to aid in the
transfer of data. SOUND LIKE THUNDERBOLT TO YOU???? These mods all proposed between 2007
and 2009 and made an IEEE Standard.

IEEE P1394d was formed by the IEEE on March 9, 2009 to add single mode fiber as an additional
transport medium to FireWire. Other future iterations of FireWire are expected to increase speed
to 6.4 Gbit/s and additional connectors such as the small multimedia interface.

HOW I SEE IT @ POO ENGINEERING, LLC
At a minimum, four 800 plugs would equal a 4 channel set-up for bidirectional 3200, (x 4) and the 17th
plug would just be for the higher level FireWire 880 power suite — which is 3-phase 880v (AC)
over the cable at lower currents and the periphs have step-down transformers so you really CAN plug
in those hot-plates and space heaters, to get 120v, 40 amp appliances to work from a FW-880v plug via a Delta iteration.

Everything from laser printers to defibrillation kits are available for it.

While my design is not through, it does incorporate the 17the plug as, initially, as a distinct power cable with 1 data line fiber to manage the clock timing so that there is data flow at all four points of the square wave - wave form. This permits using 50Hz or 60Hz in a timing circuit, but actually providing single change bandwidth at 1 gigabytes per clock cycle, assuring adequate peak bandwidth of 8 gigabits with both data and voltage/current functional error correction.

This is the prototype plug so far.
