Geek Wine: 480 Mbit/s & 20% alcohol
Your inner geek can finally meet your inner wino…
Apparently Portugal has laws that dictate whether you can call wine a “port” based on a geographic designation. This is similar to the Champagne region in France.
Peltier Station Winery created “USB” port to make a point. It’s not allowed to designate its product a port – so it uses the familiar USB icon to fill in the blank. (yes, of course it’s Californian!)
If this is successful, look out for copycat ports: 80, RS232, FireWire and Parallel won’t be far behind, although SCSI still has marketing challenges!
