New iPod Touch Has an 802.11n Chip

eggboard writes "iFixIt has discovered a Broadcom 802.11a/b/g/n chip in the just-announced iPod touch (32 GB and 64 GB) models that uses single-stream 802.11n. Single-stream doesn't get the full power of N, but it boosts speed enough that — along with space-time block encoding, a feature coming soon to Wi-Fi access points with two or more radios — the iPod touch could be an effective networked media server, for streaming and transfer, possibly through the new iTunes Home Sharing feature."

    Panties Stink!
    They really, really stink!
    Sometimes they're red, sometimes they're green,
    Sometimes they're white or black or pink
    Sometimes they're satin, sometimes they're lace
    Sometimes they're cotton and soak up stains
    But at the end of the day, it really makes you think
    Wooooooo-wheeeee! Panties stink!

    Sometimes they're on the bathroom floor
    Your girlfriend- what a whore!
    Sometimes they're warm and wet and raw
    From beneath the skirt of your mother-in-law
    Brownish stains from daily wear
    A gusset full of pubic hair
    Just make sure your nose is ready
    For the tang of a sweat-soaked wedgie
    In your hand a pair of drawers
    With a funky feminine discharge
    Give your nose a rest, fix yourself a drink
    cause wooooooo-wheeeeeee! panties stink!

    It's become traditional on Slashdot that Apple products be proudly displayed on the front page without links, because most Apple products discussed on Slashdot don't really exist either. Didn't you get the memo?

    advertisement Sergeant Taggart: Why didn't you identify yourself as a police officer when you were arrested? Axel Foley: 'Cause I was mindin' my own business. Hey, where the fuck do you guys get off on arresting somebody for getting thrown out of a window? Sergeant Taggart: We have six witnesses that say you broke in and started tearing up the place, then jumped out the window! Axel Foley: And you guys believe that? What the fuck are you, cops or doormen? Sergeant Taggart: We're more likely to believe an important local businessman than a foul-mouthed jerk from out of town. Axel Foley: Foul-mouthed? [Taggart nods] Axel Foley: Fuck you, man. Detective Rosewood: [Taggart stands up and draws himself to full height] Hey, Sarge... Sergeant Taggart: You watch your mouth. Axel Foley: [standing] Hey, man, don't square off on me with some bullshit. [shoves Taggart] Axel Foley: You wanna start some static? Sergeant Taggart: Hey, don't push me! Axel Foley: [shoves Taggart again] Fuck you, man! [Taggart delivers hard blow to Axel's stomach... Axel doubles over in pain] Lieutenant Bogomil: [witnessing from his office] Taggart! Sergeant Taggart: Yes, sir. Lieutenant Bogomil: Come here. [Taggart enters Bogomil's office, both emerge a minute later] Sergeant Taggart: Sir... I apologize for striking you. I have no excuse. Axel Foley: [bemused] Forget about it. Axel Foley: Don't you think I realize what's going on here, miss? Who do you think I am, huh? Don't you think I know that if I was some hotshot from out of town that pulled inside here and you guys made a reservation mistake, I'd be the first one to get a room and I'd be upstairs relaxing right now. But I'm not some hotshot from out of town, I'm a small reporter from "Rolling Stone" magazine that's in town to do an exclusive interview with Michael Jackson that's gonna be picked up by every major magazine in the country. I was gonna call the article "Michael Jackson Is Sitting On Top of the World," but now I think I might as well just call it "Michael Jackson Can Sit On Top of the World Just As Long As He Doesn't Sit in the Beverly Palm Hotel 'Cause There's No Niggers Allowed in There!" [Axel pretends to be a male hustler] Axel Foley: Tell Victor that Ramon - -the fella he met about a week ago? - -tell him that Ramon went to the clinic today, and I found out that I have, um, herpes simplex 10, and I think Victor should go check himself out with his physician to make sure everything is fine before things start falling off on the man. Axel Foley: Disturbing the peace? I got thrown out of a window! What's the fuckin' charge for getting pushed out of a moving car, huh? Jaywalking? Police Chief Hubbard: What's this man doing here? Axel Foley: Bleeding, sir. Axel Foley: If something happens to her... Victor Maitland: Hmmm...? I'm all ears. Axel Foley: I'll kill you. Victor Maitland: Really? That would be a neat trick. Detective Rosewood: Wow. You know, it says here that by the time the average American is fifty, he's got five pounds of undigested red meat in his bowels. Sergeant Taggart: Why are you telling me this? What makes you think I have any interest in that at all? Detective Rosewood: Well, you eat a lot of red meat. Police Chief Hubbard: Is this the gentleman who crashed through Victor Maitland's window? Who disabled an unmarked unit with a banana? Lieutenant Bogomil: Yes, sir. Police Chief Hubbard: Who lured Taggart and Rosemont into a gross dereliction of duty at a strip-tease establishment? Detective Rosewood: Uh, it's Rosewood, sir. Lieutenant Bogomil: Yes, sir. Police Chief Hubbard: Is this the gentleman who ruined the buffet at the Harrow club this morning? Lieutenant Bogomil: Yes, sir. Police Chief Hubbard: I just bet that you are the pride of your department in Detroit. Lieutenant, I'd like to see you in your office. Lieutenant Bogomil: Yes, sir.

    Cures cancer too. But not AIDS or world hunger. You need the multistream version for that.

    This is not surprising, and now that it's confirmed, we can expect Apple to release an 802.11n enabler for iPod touch in the future and charge $.9.95 for it. They're so predictable these days...

    Serves your own right for being a sheep buying bling over quality. Stop buying apple junk if you aren't prepared to toe the regular funds line, masturbate over this image of HIV+ lookalike Jobs instead. Just as satisfying, much cheaper!
