The IEEE 1394 standard defines the FireWire bus, developed by Apple, that was a mainstay for a few professional industries until it was overshadowed by USB's ubiquity, continual improvement which debunked rumors that FireWire was still faster than USB. However some still choose to continue use FireWire for compatibility or for other legacy hardware support reasons.
