Oh good God not another one of these articles again!
Let’s just assume then that there will be no Apple Netbook or tablets then, because other companies have already made those. Cant have Apple “rip off” others.
No iPods with HD out, already done.
No subscription music service...that is already out
No streaming music service either.
No OLED iPhone...already done. Dont expect one with a keyboard either, that isn’t original.
Apple TV...isn’t that called windows Media Center?
Safari? Apple invented the web browser too!
iWork? Hmmmmm seems like a MS Office rip off.
But they did manage to put in MMS and Copy and Paste in their phone. Couldn’t they come up with something original?
Apple store? Gateway store? Sony Style? Naaaa, Apple invented the whole idea there.
But hey, if Apple’s cheerleading squad wants to feel Apple invented everything and everyone else is just “following”, then I’m sure reality isnt something they are all that interested in anyway.
Too bad other companies that innovate don’t have a media machine that Apple does, then maybe this Apple superiority myth would not have infected so many of its users.

And right there is where we have the problem that you're "infected with"... LOL...
Your "idea" -- contrary to what all the various users know, plus all the Windows users streaming and flocking over to Apple products (being totally fed up with what Microsoft has been feeding them...) -- that idea of yours says that it's all "PR" and nothing more.
The users and those many Windows users have found out that the advertising is gravy on top of something that is quality, works well, and is designed for the consumer -- and not for the geek who can't get a date... LOL...
We can see where you're coming from Mr. Geek... :-)
Surely, you don't think that MicroSucks have any original ideas, do you? Gates even conned a guy out of DOS to sell to IBM, with a few lousy sheckels. IBM made the pc a standard, not MS. MS just bought companies and built their monopoly. They're caught up now with trying to beat Mac at the OS game. It won't work now, since the companies Gates MS bought and destroyed now work for anybody but Gates...
Get a Mac and you'll likely never go back!
You are aware that MS Office was developed by MS under contract to Apple for the Mac? And that AppleWorks predated MSWorks. Of course Applewrite preceded both.
As I recall Gateway was liquidating their inventory and closing stores when Apple begin building, now Apple may follow them, but I doubt it.
Apple wasn’t the first to market with most products, but they often put out one of the best, if not the best implementation of many products.
That is even when they don’t include features that tech people think they need. They aren’t good at being first, they are good at watching what other companies put out and then delivering what people want in that device.
Not having MMS and copy and past didn’t seem to hinder sales of the iPhone much. Not having an FM transmitter didn’t seem to hinder the sales of iPods much.
The Apple Store would be the biggest example of this, do they still have Sony stores? I know Gateway stores are closed. Others tried it, but Apple succeeded.
Why bother with mere reality when you've cornered the market in iReality?
