End of the Line for Apple's FireWire

The author here is clearly missing the point. Apple DID include Firewire 800 ports on TWO new models of its MacBook Pro line (add to that the 17" MacBook Pro, which remains a current model), and did not include it on the TWO new models of MacBooks, nor on the MacBook Air. There is simply a distinction of the need for this connectivity that Apple has acknowledged. People doing video editing and other ventures where Firewire transfer has advantages will likely not be using the less expensive, less capable, lower video level laptops. Death of Firewire?.... that's poppycock and sensationalism. It's just in recognition of the differences between the uses of various levels of machines.
