This is a Mac Mini! Sony should stop trying to be like Apple (or Nintendo... or Microsoft)

"This looks like a circular mac mini" It doesn't actually and the Mac mini was far from bing the first small form factor computer so who 'stole' it first?

You know until I met my ex I couldn't figure out why the Apple fanboys (and girls) think everything looks like some Apple product. It's because they never have any exposure to anything beyond Apple products so they try to associate everything with the only thing they know. And Apple beats into them their own version of computer history where Apple invented everything and everyone copies them Guys come on get over it. Fact is Apple does nothing first. They copy and put it in a shiny white plastic case.

"Guys come on get over it. Fact is Apple does nothing first. They copy and put it in a shiny white plastic case." mmmm..... sorry? Apart from being Apple inventor of the Personal Computer, hier a few examples of the hundred of things invented or implemented first time on a PC by Apple: - An operating system which uses Windows and a Mouse !!! (years before Microsoft) - Macs were the first PCs to be used in Publications (years and years before any Windows PC) - WiFi (standard on every Mac since at least year 2000) long before Windows based PC systems. - USB, Network and Firewire standard on every Mac since at least 1997, if not before (years ahead of any Windows PC) - First Laptop made of Aluminium and still the only ones - First 17 inches Laptop in the world in 2003 and still the only ones one inch thick. - The Mac Mini concept is unique nothing remotely closed in size and design two years ahead of the sony concept !!! - Not to mention the new kid on the Bloke, the iPhone which is unique, and really reinvents the smartphone, nothing come remotely closed even from Sony, Motorola or Nokia which are much bigger companies. Only the iPhone enclosed over 200 new patents !!! - In the Software side i could mention literally hundreds of unique applications or concepts many of them still not existen in the windows world only in Mac OS X itself, some of them copied from Microsoft for Vista 5 years later !!!! + iLife, iTunes, iPod, Quicktime, Magsafe, HD motion sensors on Laptops, Backlight Keyboards on Powerbooks, isync, ichat multiconference system... and the list goes and goes and so on, so on and so on......

what is the real difference, really? just because you've only live in the USA does mean s---. in the early 1990, the major japanese companies already had portal touch screen devices and they were all the same size of the current PSP (Sony, toshiba, hitachi, mitsubishi, sharp, and fujitsu) [although, they won't as small as the palm, but they were in the market far before the first palm was made.] what's the big deal for using "white???" Hitachi and Fujitsu use the color "white" in their PC's and laptop's. Toshiba was the first to use "aluminium" and steel in there tough notebook (which was mostly used in there commercial or private companies.) ...just because MC been around since the 1983's doesn't mean s--- to the most of us. if Hitachi didn't develope those 20-200 giga mini HD's, the iPod's would have never been created. (an of course you didn't notice the Hitachi version of the ipod did you?) And how about those memory sticks/flash memory (dou and SD's) did you know Sony already had them in the 1988's?? Over all, my G4 17" is the best. it's practically virus free (as long i don't surf.) [the waste thing about it, is i can't hide it during my travel.] although, i also have my sony, fujistu, ibm, lifedrive, and other's you've never seen or heard of in the USA market.

The Apple Lisa was launched in 1983, after the PC, after the Altair, after the Xerox PARC GUI interface. Everyone copies. Innovation is the incremental improvement of ideas and rarely is their a truly radical new development. If you want to point back to the truly exceptional innovations that launched the success of both companies, look to the Radio Shack TRS-80 or the Commodore64. Both Steve Jobs and Bill Gates built their companies by innovation, and both built from common building blocks. And don't fool yourself into thinking that the iPod was an original idea.
