The only diamond operator (<>) that I know of is in Perl, and there it is  
used to indicate that the value it represents will be provided by the user  
from STDIN. Example:

my $foo = <>;
print <>;

When the script runs, user must type something which will be assigned to  
$foo and printed.

!= is simply "not equals" operator, acting like the slashed equals you  
often see in written maths, and I imagine this is what Michael meant.
