New MacBook Pros and Firewire

A short note on a small epiphany I just had:

The lack of Firewire on the new MacBook Pros effectively close the security hole, where passwords can be retrieved through the firewire ports.

Could this be one of the reasons for dumping Firewire, or is it just one of the few nice side-effects?

Let the rumors begin :)

    Actually – while as MacBook:s don’t firewire anymore, MacBook Pro:s still got it.

    Next time you should condense your post, try to leave out the parts that people skip.

    Sorry if it’s a bit off topic but I’d like to know if this issue about the iphone 4 is important or not. I’d like to buy the new one and I was wondering if the calls actually drop more or not. Thanks

    I should say, as much as I enjoyed reading what you had to express, I couldnt help but lose interest following a whilst. Its as should you had a excellent grasp on the subject matter matter, but you forgot to include your readers. Possibly you should take into consideration this from much more than one particular angle. Or maybe you shouldnt generalise so significantly. Its better in the event you think about what other people may well have to express rather than just going for a gut reaction towards the topic. Take into consideration adjusting your own thought procedure and giving other people who may well study this the benefit with the doubt.
