It's a friggin' cube. A cube is a cube. All cubes resemble each other. They're just looking for something to complain about. Now if it had the same color scheme and such, I could see their reasoning, but it's just another cube.

Apple insults the dirty Islamofascists? Just one more reason to love Apple. I might go out and buy another iPod today!

Good idea, an opportunity to get all that anger out in the open. Its a caring thing to do.
