Apple iSight is a design rip-off!

"Originality is the art of concealing your source." -- that's what I always say!



Joke or not, I think it's perfectly acceptable for Apple to use their time machine to go back and inspire others from 50 or 100 years ago to invent things that Apple will steal later on.... (*huh?*)

I mean, how do you think M$ invented the typewriter keyboard?!?! And that's how Al Gore invented the internet.

Or maybe Dyna-Mike travelled to the future and stole from Apple! Who stole it right back from them!!!!

(j/k, of course! Hey, we're all just havin' fun here!)

Remember all the products that borrowed the original iMac's colors and plastics? Phones, George Forman grills, etc. Were they rip-offs?

Um... yeah, they kind of obviously were...

(If that microphone you linked to had been the standard microphone that everyone recognized on sight 6 months ago, and THEN Apple made the iSight, it would constitute a ripoff)...

But none of that is really the point, lol.

I'm going to go find something that points out where Dell got its ideas from! Hehe...

If the link doesn't work look for item 3043289273

Kidding or not you sure provoked a lot of BS. Why don't we just say the iSight design was INSPIRED by some cool '50's audio equipment and move on.
