Things that make you go ummm!: Is Apple slowly killing Firewire?

Categories: Apple, Featured, Laptop, accesories | add this page to Mister Wong

Apple has been the front runner when it comes in new technology adoptions, we all saw the first imac introduction of the USB, the floppy, the dvd burner, firewire, wifi and many other time saving features. But what really strikes me is the almost abandonment of the Firewire technology. Firewire has ben the perfect high-speed communication interface, it manage to move real-time data from cameras to computers or from DVD to TV, but we have seen or heard nothing new about this great technology, it must being growing out of the computer space, but even in the electronic segment there is nothing about Firewire... Did Firewire reach the bottom? Maybe not, but the most prominent sponsor of Firewire was Apple and we have seen how Macs come without Firewire at all. Maybe Apple is sold on USB and pretends we all start enjoying our video transfering via USB, this really sound ridiculous. USB is at the same level of speed of Firewire, but both technologies were created to serve different users needs, USB is and has been the perfect interface for scanners, memory sticks, but when it comes to hardcore inferfaces Firewire is the technology of choice, it is respected in ...
