definitely not a rip as that mouse clearly has a scroll-wheel, which apple seems intent on never implementing. (yeah, i know they got a middle-touch-sensitive-slide-scroll-thingy. don't like it). hell, i don't think apple will ever even embrace a 2-button mouse, even though right-click is right there in osx.

It can't be the s+arck mouse, the sides of the mouse on the picture are transparent, plus it doesn't have the nice thin-lighted line that the s+arck has.

What the hell!?

Who cares!? The only ones who should even give a second thought are Apple and Microsoft.

It doesn't matter if you think they stole it, it matters if the company thinks they stole it.

Plus I saw a two button clear mouse with a scroll wheel at radio shack that looks exactly like a no button mouse. Let's ***** about that now.

Like Tinman said, they didn't steal anything. If you deny this then we can name off things Apple stole from Windows and other operating systems like NeXT and Unix.

Why do you keep calling Timan - TiNman?

Please ellaborate that.

Are we gonna start with all that OS crap ? If you're gonna post things like that please post your sources .

#304778

And Apple "stole" GUI from Xerox and so on and so on...

Let's not go into that "who stole what" shall we?

#304781

Yawn...this thread is so gay.

#304793

yeah, well i had the idea for having ideas a long time ago. so, anyone who has an idea is stealing my idea for having an idea...

#304795

This is very off topic but Kenta your avatar is so cool!!!

#304797

Who the FUNK CARES about this anyway? If MS were to copy every good idea from Apple, and Apple were to copy every good idea from MS, that would be a GOOD THING. Who cares about giant corporations' profits? Stop taking these things personally.

That is not even close to a Centrios mouse. And the mouse in the picture glows orange, not red.

#304813

microsoft stole the idea of being able to type using a keyboard from apple....

#304827

OK, i think this is enough.

This will just turn into a flame war so i`m taking precautonery measures.
