what's the point of copying what other's have done and actually making it worse than the original. if you want to copy someone else, make it better, improve on where users of the original product has been complaining, do it properly like what palm's done.

frankly in my opinion this sort of products shall never be made onto engadget from day one.]]>Mar 3rd 2009 10:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/03/hands-on-with-msis-x-slim-x320-x340-and-gt725-laptops/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/03/hands-on-with-msis-x-slim-x320-x340-and-gt725-laptops/

Don't get me wrong, Apple has some great products, and has provided a lot of original design to the computer world, but they, like other companies, will get on board with a good idea when they see one, even if it is just a copy.

I think most people's issues with apple stem from their pricing and their creepy, controlling license agreements.

Ever heard of NeXTStep/OpenStep?

OS X is BSD (which is actually Unix), not "based on" Linux (which is a Unix variant). ]]>Mar 3rd 2009 1:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/03/hands-on-with-msis-x-slim-x320-x340-and-gt725-laptops/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/03/hands-on-with-msis-x-slim-x320-x340-and-gt725-laptops/
"Apple copies Gnome/KDE/Beryl/Compiz-Fusion/etc... (OSX GUI features)
Apple copies Sony (chicklet keyboard)
Apple copies Creative (original iPod GUI)
Apple copies Linux (basing their OS on Unix technical principles)"

Mac OS X had an OpenGL GUI in 2001, wayyyyyyyy before Beryl or Compiz even existed. Beryl and Compiz mostly exist to duplicate the features of Mac OS X like Expose.

Chicklet keyboard? Yep, copied.
iPod GUI? Perhaps.

I don't even know how to respond to this notion that Apple somehow copied Linux. LOL YOU MUST BE JOKING! Yep, that works as a response.]]>Mar 3rd 2009 2:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/03/hands-on-with-msis-x-slim-x320-x340-and-gt725-laptops/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/03/hands-on-with-msis-x-slim-x320-x340-and-gt725-laptops/Mar 3rd 2009 4:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/03/hands-on-with-msis-x-slim-x320-x340-and-gt725-laptops/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/03/hands-on-with-msis-x-slim-x320-x340-and-gt725-laptops/Mar 3rd 2009 10:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/03/hands-on-with-msis-x-slim-x320-x340-and-gt725-laptops/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/03/hands-on-with-msis-x-slim-x320-x340-and-gt725-laptops/Mar 3rd 2009 10:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/03/hands-on-with-msis-x-slim-x320-x340-and-gt725-laptops/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/03/hands-on-with-msis-x-slim-x320-x340-and-gt725-laptops/Mar 3rd 2009 10:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/03/hands-on-with-msis-x-slim-x320-x340-and-gt725-laptops/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/03/hands-on-with-msis-x-slim-x320-x340-and-gt725-laptops/Mar 3rd 2009 10:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/03/hands-on-with-msis-x-slim-x320-x340-and-gt725-laptops/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/03/hands-on-with-msis-x-slim-x320-x340-and-gt725-laptops/Mar 3rd 2009 10:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/03/hands-on-with-msis-x-slim-x320-x340-and-gt725-laptops/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/03/hands-on-with-msis-x-slim-x320-x340-and-gt725-laptops/Mar 3rd 2009 10:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/03/hands-on-with-msis-x-slim-x320-x340-and-gt725-laptops/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/03/hands-on-with-msis-x-slim-x320-x340-and-gt725-laptops/Mar 3rd 2009 10:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/03/hands-on-with-msis-x-slim-x320-x340-and-gt725-laptops/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/03/hands-on-with-msis-x-slim-x320-x340-and-gt725-laptops/

MSI also makes mp3 players for Sandisk and various other hardware.

Of course it's a macbook air copy. Who cares? It's not going to take any sales from the Apple faithful, and gives the Windows crew something cheaper to play with, since as we all know, the only reason we don't buy Apple is because we can't afford it.]]>Mar 3rd 2009 10:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/03/hands-on-with-msis-x-slim-x320-x340-and-gt725-laptops/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/03/hands-on-with-msis-x-slim-x320-x340-and-gt725-laptops/But what the hell, MSI make some pretty sexy computers :)]]>Mar 3rd 2009 10:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/03/hands-on-with-msis-x-slim-x320-x340-and-gt725-laptops/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/03/hands-on-with-msis-x-slim-x320-x340-and-gt725-laptops/Mar 3rd 2009 10:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/03/hands-on-with-msis-x-slim-x320-x340-and-gt725-laptops/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/03/hands-on-with-msis-x-slim-x320-x340-and-gt725-laptops/Mar 3rd 2009 12:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/03/hands-on-with-msis-x-slim-x320-x340-and-gt725-laptops/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/03/hands-on-with-msis-x-slim-x320-x340-and-gt725-laptops/Mar 3rd 2009 10:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/03/hands-on-with-msis-x-slim-x320-x340-and-gt725-laptops/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/03/hands-on-with-msis-x-slim-x320-x340-and-gt725-laptops/haha! you go MSI!
