First, the fact that Apple has stubbornly refused to support USB3. The first Thunderbolt hard drive is due this summer. Seriously? Would it have killed you to support USB3 and thunderbolt? In the past, Apple has tried to push the hardware world into this new standard or that, and invariably have failed, and adopted the industry standards. Appletalk gave way to Ethernet (Yes, I'm that old). Various Mac busses yielded to PCI. They gave up on SCSI and went all IDE. They eventually buckled and replaced proprietary serial ports and ADB with USB. Intel replaced PowerPC. Don't get me wrong. I love having Firewire, and I use it for audio and video. But I'd rather have USB3, because I have massive choice in USB3, very little in FW800, none at all in Thunderbolt. Next, and similarly: Bluray. I know this one is more debatable, but I have a large library of Bluray movies. I'd love to take them with me and play them on my Mac. I'd love even more to have a Mac Mini with a Bluray drive, so I can eliminate my standalone player in my entertainment center.
