  • If apple put more money and effort into firewire, they could've beaten USB. Too bad that they didn't.

  • Apple is so ahead of their time with so many things but the public isn't ready for a lot of them.

  • Firewire is shit, never works

  • @rootbeermcgee yeah..they peaked out in 2001, and then got greedy.

  • @corsairstw that's the glory of firewire.

  • "There are no terminators!"

    So Apple defeated Skynet? 

  • Steve Jobs was a magician. I love this video! He can even make data transfer technologies sound interesting. Though, I don't think he should have unplugged that drive that was playing the video without unmounting it..

  • @InsaneMW2Killcams usb was and still is way more prevalent. same how usb 3 will be more successful than thunderblow.

  • Wow. Goes to show you that even TODAY it comes on all modern PCs. Apple is da shit. God Bless Steve Jobs <3.

  • And we have to unmount it before unplugging fw800 on Macs now...

  • @rootbeermcgee all you have to do is buy a firewire 400 to 800 cable for like 20 bucks and it will work perfectly...

  • i have my ipod third gen with firewire 400mb no sizzling or no terminate
