I said USB is more common so to most people they don't need firewire, since most of the devices out there are USB, just because most people don't need firewire, doesn't mean there still isn't a small need for it. This is my main point, the market is moving away from firewire.
Haha, trying to cover your bases, are you?
The reality is, you said that you could not see a problem with nixing firewire BECAUSE most people didn't use it. This stands, and luckily I quoted it earlier on. THAT was your argument: There was NO NEED FOR IT since you didn't use it, and most people used USB.
Not just Apple, the general market which is why you don't see more firewire devices than USB.
Perhaps in the lowest common denominator consumer world. However, go take a look at computers (in general *not just Apple's offerings) and tell me that is true.
In fact, I highly doubt you knew anything about FW when yu came here, you just thought you could waltz in and proclaim there was no need for it, since YOU saw no need for it.
Yes I meant myself and most consumers who are buying USB devices over firewire which is why we keep seeing more and more of them.
Again, I take it that's why you bought an MBA? Or that's why you think it's better to pay a premium to buy Apple, yet you will settle for USB? You don't see any discrepancy there?
The market has spoken, sure there's a minority who prefer firewire but that number will keep on getting smaller and smaller.
LOL, that's like saying that the market has spoken when it comes to McDonald's and there will become less and less quality food.
In fact, what's funny is that (although talking software), Apple is very small player compared to Microsoft, why don't I see you make the argument that Apple might just as well shut down their whole operation except for their iPod/iPhone production? I mean, "the market has spoken", hasn't it?
I haven't said there's no need for firewire, I said I don't need it and most people don't which is why we are seeing less firewire devices.
Nope, you positively said you saw no need for firewire as you didn't use it yourself.
Sure firewire is faster than USB but most people don't seem to care which is my point.
Sigh
it's not just about speed. How about you spent some time reviewing this thread? Seriously.
The lowest common denominator is not an argument. If it truly were an argument you would save money on buying the latest MBs as opposed to the older MBs. You're not. And don't give me the "but it's alu", as aluminium is one of cheapest ways of manufacturing something as simple as a small case.
Oh so I'm a troll because we have different viewpoints and anyone who says they can't play youtube on their MBA is fabricating the truth because it does play youtube, I mean I don't know what kind of youtube videos they are trying to play.
LOL, no, I figured I might reply to your strawman that I saw ghosts where there were none, even though I showed you how little you knew about firewire. Of course, you now add to this notion, but it still stands that you called someone a liar for stating his MBA was overheating from watching youtube videos, which, btw, is a widely acknowledged problems experienced by a lot of MBA-owners, often resulting in a core shutdown. Do I figure you fabricate the truth? No, not in the least. I am saying that the post implies you're indeed a troll, because this is a widely known issue, yet you choose to call the bloke a liar (er, actually call the claim a lie).
