I’ve been deluged today by people who think I care about the Mac mini rip-off for some reason. For beginners, it’s not even a real computer yet, just a proof-of-concept plastic case. Secondly, it should surprise no one that the PC world has once again taken it’s design cues from Apple. That’s not news, it’s commonplace.
Remember the Intel Aztec?
They appeared just after Apple’s colored iMacs.
How about the Gateway Profile?
It appeared very soon after the G4 iMac. In fact, Gateway advertised the Profile as an alternative to the iMac, even including an iMac in it’s commercial.
Remember the Microsoft Mouse I pointed out on this site earlier?
Very similar to say the least.
Now let’s look at the world of music players. The Creative Zen leaps to mind…
Naw, not even close!
What about the Zen Micro?
Colors and all… just coincidence?
And now, the most recent, the Mac mini…
Apple leads, other follow… poorly. That’s fine with me.
