Much to the dismay of many technology junkies, Apple's new Macbook does not have a firewire port. Firewire is much faster than USB 2.0 and allows Mac users to transfer files much faster. In addition, it allows the use of "Target Disk Mode," which in essence, allows you to boot your computer from an external drive. This is a great feature should you experience a hard drive crash.
Steve Jobs feels that many devices are now USB 2.0 compatible and we may no longer need Firewire. Let's hope that Apple sees the error of their ways on this one.
