MacMini Rip-off


Recommended Posts

well, i've been waiting to pounce, and it seems that now, the time is right. several years ago, i was awarded an international patent for anything "square," "square-ish" or "square-like." i've decided to go ahead and start filing lawsuits against anyone who illegally uses my patented shape. when the moolah starts rolling in, i'm gonna buy aqua-soft and turn it into a vista-only website. of course, if the world wants to pay me a licensing fee to use my shape...

It's really getting pointless to keep crying about Mac Mini ripoffs. Apple introduced a new concept, and it's taken hold. There is nothing inherently wrong with companies making small cube PCs--in fact, I welcome the shift away from the ATX/tower form factor. A low power, low profile computer like the Mini or its derivatives have plenty of potential applications. Let's not discourage them by crying ripoff, alright?

it's funny because the mac mini design is actually a rip off of the shuttle's. Just that they look way better than their wintel counterparts, which leads people to say [and think] they are original. People really have no clue whatsoever about what is coming out of their holes :slant:

Exactly what I said a long time ago when the mini was introduced... nothing new here at all.

Just Apple's version of a Shuttle PC.

From a design perspective, all Apple did was dumb down the exterior. Original thinking, creative and innovative... I think not.
