Since USB 3 trumps Firewire800 in transfer speed, there is little reason to pay extra for Firewire 800—unless you use Target Disk mode or want to daisy chain several Firewire devices. USB supports neither. Not to mention that most current Macs still lack USB 3 ports, but this is changing fast.

"Compliment," as in "My, what a nice looking Macbook you are"?

"G-Technology’s G-Drive mobile is a portable, bus-powered external hard drive designed to compliment your Apple laptop." I guess that the author meant "complement."
