A Brief History of Features Apple Has Killed

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the or-you-might-be-a-fanboi dept.

Technologizer writes "Some folks are outraged over the lack of FireWire in the new MacBook released this week. But Apple wouldn't be Apple if it didn't move faster than any other computer company to kill technologies that may be past their prime. And history usually validates its decisions. We've posted a decade's worth of examples that prove the point."

  1. Am I missing something... by Desert+Raven · · Score: 5, Informative

    Something missing here. The article claims to be "A Brief History of Features Apple Has Killed" Yet, the article has nothing of the sort, and the linked page is a just an opinion piece on the lack of Firewire in the new MacBooks.

    I'm guessing this is the link that was intended.

  2. HUNDREDS of angry users!!!! by mschuyler · · Score: 5, Informative

    says the article. That's right: 'Hundreds,' not 'tens of thousands.' Get it? The average consumer doesn't give a rip.
