Firewire Receives An Emmy

AxsDeny writes: "The makers of the ever-so-popular FireWire, Apple Computer, are being given an Emmy by the television industry. Apple will receive the primetime Emmy, which is given by the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, in a ceremony later Wednesday at the Goldenson Theatre in Hollywood.

Apple came up with the technology entirely independent of anyone. It's then handed to the IEEE for standards-recognition. Apple controls the technology, IEEE controls things about branding and reviewing the technology itself, etc.

So you're wrong, it IS Apple's.

FireWire = IEEE 1394 = Sony i.LINK

As of right now, FireWire is the #1 recognized brand of IEEE 1394.
