Intel shows off concept for Mac mini knock-off

Hmmmm…this looks so very familiar…yeah, just picture a Mac mini in metallic silver and you've got a clear image of the Sleek Concept Entertainment PC that Intel demoed Wednesday at its Developer Forum in San Francisco. Intel tends to use its twice-yearly developer events to try and jump-start some creativity among computer makers, and apparently this year creativity means ripping off Apple's new concept in desktop computing. Only to differentiate its design Intel has gone out of its way to make this plastic model of the supposedly next-generation home entertainment PC scream "square" by marring its top surface with a maddeningly purposeless grid. Who wants a home entertainment system component that looks like graph paper?
