I think Masta might have thought that I was pissed at it. I was merely laughing at how shitty a job LG did with making it resemble its competitors.
No, why would I think that?
Do you know how LG laptops used to look like in the past? They always had the black bezel (or silver) around the screen and scratched aluminum unibody around the keyboard too.
This is a 2007/2008 P300 model:
It was one of the most awesome, slim and lightweight models at its time. With only 1,7kg it packed the fastest core 2 duo and an Nvidia 8600gt graphics card.
Does it mean that Apple stole LG's design? I don't jump to conclusions. Just like with the new LG model they are barely refreshing their own older designs. The round shapes were first introduced by Sony and Acer before Apple started using them. Perhaps LG were inspired by the MBP here and there with the new model but nevertheless I don't like the design and I admitted that the Macbook pro looks better.
But not early enough that they have the technology, it dies, and then others "magically" have it.
What technology? I guess it would be a safe bet that nobody (major) ever stole any technology invented by Apple.
Apple sues everyone for other devices resembling their devices.
Patents speak louder than words.
Yes, that's true. Apple doesn't hold many significant ones. I would agree about them buying a few companies that had a few though. Not those that other companies are violating though.
But I doubt Apple will "ban" LG from selling that clear knockoff like they did with Samsung and the 10.1
Both the Ipad and the 10.1 looked just like any other tablet. They were only slimmer which is easily possible with mobile chips. You can say that the Ipad2 has copied Samsung which was the first company to introduce very slim mobile devices back in 2005 or so (less than 10mm thick phones).
You'd be blind too if Google's dick was that far down your throat. You know.. there's kind of a body there and whatnot. I'm no expert, but those are nosebleed seats to what's going on in the rest of industry if you ask me. Thus is the life of a fanboy.
I don't know at whom this was directed. I'm not really that much of a fan of Google but yes, they are doing awesome.
