Actually, there are some new node maps at Node DB
True, seems like there would be more stuff out there, but there are some great ones like these to keep your eyes open for.

WARNING:Slashdot karma not redeemable in the afterlife.
From where I sit, on the indy video side of the razor wire, there's a pretty large knowledge gap between the creators, the would-be purveyors, and the audience. Y'all have the techie wherewithal to know how you want your content delivered, but very few people I know in the biz have devoted enough time to figuring out how to provide it in a format that satisfies their dubiously artistic integrity. I know of a couple of local production teams who are trying to do this, but they're driven entirely by profit, which ain't even remotely close to a viable business plan. Everyone around here (DC) freelances for documentary work, and if anything gets posted, it's usually a trailer or demo of their talents. The true gonzos out there (we call 'em Mathers, in his honor) are few and far between ... and even ol' Evan's online limitations are, well, evident.
Honectly that's probably the worst product review I've ever seen. Perhaps there is most footage then from 12:42 to ~13.42? Because I've seen better product info on QVC. Basically they just how great the product is and all you hear about from a security standpoint(These are wireless experts right?) is that it has 128bit WEP, MAC filtering and VPN. They also mention in passing that its cpu is powerful enough for antivirus. Yawn. And this is different from a $60 Dlink WAP how?
So if you haven't watched the review but were planning on it, don't because its a waste of time.
There is way more information on the companies first page for the product.
Sorry to be so negative, but really if your going to bill yourself as an authority on "Community, Corporate, and Home Wireless applications, hardware, security," then leave the fluff PR pieces to the companies marketing divisions.
If you wanna get rich, you know that payback is a bitch
Rob will be speaking this November at SCALE 2x in Los Angeles.
