You guys fail to see the similarity of this; however you see the similarities when other products happen to look like Mac products?

Can you say bias?

Neither colour _nor_ design are very similar, I have to say. Sheesh. So much about nothing...

Isn't that what keeps this forum alive... much about nothing?

For reference though, I was talking about the "similarities" in the threads about that one AOpen miniature PC concept that looked like a Mac Mini... yet before it, the Nanode ITX - yet another concept, btw - had preceded the Mac Mini. But the posts here were all up in arms about how the PC crowd was "biting the Apple style", yadda, yadda.

But you're right. So much about nothing...

Ooh, you're right! The design IS similar! Between the wheel and the placement of the display, I think Apple's got a suit on their hands!

Except not.

Hey, I just thought it was cute. So what if they did or didn't. Everything that was once old becomes new again....look at fashion. Even music is the same. So why not this?

It all goes in cycles. I see the similarities... in a sorta "everything is moved about and simple geometric shape" type of similar meanner.

No harm done. I actually thought it was quite funny... a 1954 reference. That's classic.

Seriously, shouldn't this be in "The Café" ? This is when news gets so slow that BBC is considered a good source of news.

Erh... BBC _is_ a good source for news. This special case might not be a sign for that, though...
