some interesting news
http://www.engadget.com/entry/1234000263034087/
So the same dude who overclocked <http://www.engadget.com/entry/1234000653030159/>
his Mac mini <http://www.engadget.com/entry/1234000057028826/>
continued to tinker, and has uncovered an unused FireWire bus in the Ultra
ATA-100 riser card that connects the mini's optical drive to the
motherboard. What's up with this vestigial FireWire connector? Leo thinks
the riser was designed to feed an iPod Dock connector built in to the top
cover of the mini. Whether the feature was originally built in and then
dropped, or whether this foretells the advent of an iPod Dock-enabled Mac
mini (or whether this is all pure shinola, for that matter), is unknown.
Although, considering that nary a single iPod <http://apple.weblogsinc.com/entry/1234000600033005/>
now ships with a Dock as a standard accessory, it wouldn
't surprise us to see the next Mac mini revision sporting just such a
convenience. And wouldn't it make a great holster for a video iPod <http://www.engadget.com/entry/9534421442242854/>
