It's not okay to use "compete" as a euphemism for "rip-off"
Don't get me wrong, I'm not looking for a patent lawsuit.
But they're blatantly saying "we are trying to make products that *look* like apple products but are way cheaper"
From a design innovation standpoint, isn't that pretty lame?
LOL at Vizio. 2 years to design that, huh? Classy.
That Vizio speaker looks like a cowbell.
I would agree with that. He should of chosen his words better.Well, I guess my problem with this is the fact that Vizio's CTO actually stated that they are "making products that look like Apple's, but are cheaper". Very strange choice of words if you are not trying to actually copy Apple's designs. I think he could have chosen a better statement. Maybe, "Our products will have a very distinct design on par or better than anything you've ever seen"?
I don't know, his words just ring of actually admitting, we are going to copy Apple's designs and just use cheaper parts. Competing is definitely OK, but I think Vizio's CTO needs to choose his words a little better to distinguish his brand from "just another cheap Apple knockoff".
Why, have you used their computer? So basically you're talking out your 5th point of contact.Vizio should stick to Televisions.

I always laugh when someone says something about windows. How many of you mac boys/girls are running windows on your machine? Lots of you so it must not suck that bad. Just because YOU don't like an operating system that doesn't mean its a bad operating system.... just like sales numbers don't make it better. (guess which one sells more moreYah, lipstick on a pig. If it runs Windows, a fancy design for the hardware won't make a difference.
Wonder if Apple has patents on their magic trackpad.
Vizio looks like it's going to make one too.

Wonder if the "possible" Apple TV will look at nice as this one?

That's not a speaker, it's the actual computer.
Interesting mix of opinions about the Vizio pictures not to mention some confusion over whether that angled box on the right is a desktop PC or a speaker(?)
It won't have a bottom bezel (Or any bezel) and it's base stand will be the same as the iMacs stand. it'll also be the same color as the iMac.
I(for anyone wanting to know) 'm gonna wager the desktop pc is hackintoshable. It looks like the motherboard is in the base so we are likely to see laptop components (ulv intel i CPU and hd 3000)
