End of the Line for Apple's FireWire

I agree that this headline is sensational and the article is misleading. The MBP still has Firewire. It appears that Apple removed Firewire from the MB line because there was no physical room left on the left side of the logic board to accommodate the extra port. It is very bothersome that Apple removed it. Apple's choice of including USB as the only major peripheral bus on the original iMac (when Firewire could have been included as well) was instrumental in my mind in feeding the USB monster. I would never consider buying in modern times a computer with int-degraded graphics as the MacBook has, and this is one more strike against the line.
