OK, yes I know they look different, and are different shaped, but what makes one better than the other?????
 
I'll tell you what I know
There is USB 1.0 which run at about 12 mb/s, USB 2.0 at about 400 mb/s.
Also there are different USB connectors, there is connector A, B, And the mini USB connector (used for digital cameras and stuff).
If you check your Printer or scanner USB cable you will find one end with A connector and the other end with B connector.

Firewire runs at about 400 mb/s.
it has 2 connectors, one uses 6 pins (you plug it in your PC) and ther other uses 4 pins (For cameras and stuff).
 
I think it's kinda like VHS vs. BetaTape... ones not all the much better than the other, they both pretty much have the same function and range, it's just that one took off and the other didn't.
 
Signaling is different as well, synchronous/asynchronous. There are advantages to each, and disadvantages to each in relation to what you plan to use it for. Look it up on the internet. It's not that hard.
