MacRumors has published what appears, with almost certainly a picture New Mac Mini this year. Obvious, 5 USB ports nothing short mini DVI port and a mini DisplayPort, exactly the same as the portable audio input and output, FireWire 800 and one Ethernet port. In addition, filter characteristics:

1. Intel Core 2 Duo 2GHz 3MB L2 cache.
2. 2GB RAM DDR3.
3. SATA optical drive Super Drive.

Not bad for a computer that lacks only the screen to be portable.

One can certainly on the USB port imagine precisely as a soldering iron without burning – met at least one of the specific purpose, even if the talent for handicrafts to electronic elements is not everyone (me, at least definitely not) has been the cradle.

That there is a certain demand for this product is shown by the fact that it is not only a Geologic for such a tool, but that is also an Asian manufacturers for a commercial variant has found (for which, however, no price is mentioned) .There’s also seems quite a lot to give to solder.

There is just something creepy about this USB hub that comes in the form of a forlorn looking cat, as you open up its back downwards to reveal a trio of USB 2.0 ports, while the cover ends up as the tail instead. Pretty clever design if you ask me. In addition, it looks as though it is gazing after its USB cable for the longest time in its life (all nine of them apparently). This is just what you need for Christmas. A cat USB hub. It will charge up your gadgets with precious kitty spinal fluid.

And if you don’t want to perform a USB spinal tap, there’s another port in it’s mouth. It will spend it’s 9 lives on your desk with it’s head down in shame as you shamelessly suck it’s meow meow power. You can get it wholesale. Your real cat will not be amused. Usb hubs have never been so cute and slightly creepy.Too bad you won’t be able to pick this up at retail stores since it is only available in bulk purchases via Alibaba. At least this is better than most USB hub designs we see these days.
