This just Slashdotted: Nissan's 1394 Car

No idea how much power a 1394 optical PHY uses, but this somehow seems like a step in a good direction. Someday my Empeg will be in the trunk!

A few years ago, when working with some fiarly high end Lucent fiber transport gear, I found that the "LAN" that tied all of the beasts together was 1394. You go!

Hrmm... mega bites... and it's supposed megabit anyway! You'd think they'd be able to get that right considering they're "The latest physics and technology news"

It's still wrong on other point anyway.

Yup... RF modulators. Totally brand new tech that...
