I aint hating, I have my ip4 sitting right next to my sgs2 and both are on top of my MBP so STFU. I just state the truth.
And YOU of all people calling me a sheep? Wow, I hear your herd-bell from here.

All I heard was 'Im not racist, I have black friends'

Wow, yeah, you hear what you want. Whats the reason for the racist black friends remark? That is uncalled for......oh wait, you are in AZ.

Just because you own a product from the company doesn't make you immune from being a hater of that company. Just like having black friends means you can't be racist.

Sorry you couldnt figure that out on your own.

I think Apple designs some of the best devices in the world. I used to be in the Apple hate camp until I got myself a MBP. The OS was really different, but there wasn't a windows laptop like the unibody MBP at the time, not even close.

Its obvious that HP got its design cues from Apple ever since their first Envy laptop and with their latest iteration, even more so. I think the question is if Apple can have rights to their designs, if they are indeed the owners.

Who copied who and if companies are copying Apple is a different argument/discussion.

I agree. I don't think apple has any case where they can sue HP from it. I don't think they should. The posters on here sticking their head in the sand saying HP didnt take design cues from Apple are what annoys me. You can hate Apple all you want, but trying to deny reality is ridiculous.

Nah, we just like busting your balls. Most (at least me) haters dont really give a shit who made what or who is better. We just like busting balls on slow workdays. At the end of the day I play with my MBP or my ip4 or my asus transformer or my sgs2. All 4 devices are on my bed at the same time. Why? because not one of them does it all. My PC desktop does it all but I cant bring that in bed with me. So, yeah, I hate, I hate em all.
