		<description>Well, I&#039;d like to say I did the design part of the Envato sites but that isn&#039;t true. Collis Ta&#039;eed designed the sites, I code and add to them if needed, i.e. plugins and crazy weird requests that Collis throws my way. 

That&#039;s not to say that are style of design isn&#039;t similar to begin with, just that the credit for the Photoshop work is all Collis, the rest is me. It&#039;s pretty common that people think I designed them, I did however put in many many hours making sure they work properly.

Thank you for coming to my blog and saying hello anyhow.</description>

		<description>Ahhaaa....so you&#039;re the guy responsible for what I told my Joomla designer was a &quot;new aesthetic&quot; in wordpress design. 

&quot;Paul&quot; I said, &quot;you need to see these great envato sites that are popping up..and all of these fanboys on themeforest who are copying the designs..they&#039;re just great...can you do the same on Joomla?...Envato&#039;s got some gun designer out there&quot; I said..and here you are.

Great work Derek, I really love the clean lines of your work and will be following your creations with great interest.

Cheers

		<description>Hi Derek,

I&#039;m very glad I finally found the designer behind most of the Envato sites, I&#039;m a old time fan of yours. Keep it up!

As for the Firewire thing, I don&#039;t understand why Apple hasn&#039;t included it in that particular model either, it got to be deliberate (how would a company that big &quot;forget&quot; it along the whole production line?). Moreover, keeping an efficient production line in mind, I would even assume the slot is there, ready to receive the peripheral.

But one thing I must say: USB 2 is faster than Firewire 400. Firewire is extremely popular among Mac users, since Apple has adopted it from the very start, but Firewire was finally beaten with the advent of USB 2. The difference in speed is minimal, though. USB 2 is currently the most popular peripheral in the market today - if one only sees the numbers but not where/how it&#039;s used. Firewire 800 has arrived, which is faster than USB 2, but USB 3 is already around the corner. I guess this is going to end up like the Blue-Ray thing, it&#039;s just a matter of time...

Cheers!
