I was checking out the new MacBooks the other day.  I was getting excited about the day I could pass my old one down to my kids or sell it on ebay and get a new shiny one.  Then I noticed something horribly wrong.

THERE’S NO FIREWIRE ON THE NEW MACBOOKS!

DOH!  OOPS. I’m sure Apple, the inventor of this amazing technology called  “Firewire,” just forgot it.  It can’t be that Apple wants to force people like me, who use many many firewire drives and other devices like audio and video interfaces, to buy MacBook Pros?  No way.  That would be very “microsoft” of them to do something like that wouldn’t it?

I’m sure Apple will announce a big “ooops” and recall all the MacBooks and replace them with ones which have Firewire.  Unless that happens, I WON’T EVER be in the market for a MacBook again.  That doesn’t mean I’ll buy a brand new MacBook Pro either.  Now I don’t know what I’ll buy.

There’s a new site launched which is meant to help Apple figure out how to fix the iPhone.  Go to Please fix the iphone at http://pleasefixtheiphone.com/ and vote on your most irritating bugs or missing features.
