Novi MacBook nema FireWire.
Niti novi ekrani ga nemaju. 5 USB portova ukupno a nijedan FireWire!

otisao sam na Apple.com i ostavio feedback.
Tip iz Inside Home Recording, koji je prije 2 godine sudjelovao u videu za podcasting kojeg je napravio Apple da bi hvatao ljude da krenu u podcasting revoluciju, sad javno priznaje da ga je odluka o FireWireu stvarno razalostila. Evo link za Appleov feedback. Pridruzite mi se.

A ovo dolje je moje pismo.

Uh, and Ah
and Oh my ...
MacBook has been a wonderful tool for many podcasting and photo enthusiasts, and the FireWire port was one of most valued assets of the Apple computer lineup. Now when FireWire port is gone, I have no more options to use my FireWire disks, FireWire audio gear etc. This means no more FireWire networking too, which I was so proud of and used often in my Macintosh environment. No more FireWire disk booting up too. And also, no FireWire was included in your latest screen -- 3 USBs and not a single FireWire port?
Uh and Ah and Oh my ...!
Sorry guys, but this was a BAD design decision. A very BAD one! FireWire means so much to Apple community which is using it for many years now and it helps us deliver our work reliably, thus making us more productive. Can you please revise your decisions about this, because this is simply .. a very BAD decision!
I'm not buying a new MacBook, no matter how polished it may look. For people like me, it's simply useless. I don't need 5 USB ports -- I need one of them to be FireWire. So I'll get an old version of the MacBook, which still has a FireWire. If by this you're forcing people like me to get a 17" MacBook Pro as the only portable computer in your lineup with FireWire 400 interface, you're pushing your luck too far ...
It's a bad user experience policy, not a good one. It's not anything like Apple used to be. Please rethink this. It's not too late to re-introduce FW in your next portables update.
Kind regards
