Now it's merely average or - depending on the studies/surveys you believe - slightly above-average. Apple's used to be exemplary (many years ago. iBook and eMac failures?Īpple-designed chipsets: sub-par USB2 performance, even on the G5.Īpple-designed power systems: G5 chirping. Were they somehow sprinkled with the magic fairy-dust of goodness? No. Let's look back a bit through the mists of time.Īpple-designed logic boards. The switch to Intel had zero bearing on quality control. Wonky 'eject' key on the MBP's? Asustek/whoever again. Before the switch, there was zero chance of us having a laptop with this amount of computational power at *any* heat output. but again, for the computing power, the Core is a great piece of work. well, let's say that the Core line are rather toasty no matter who's using it. The heat? Well, again, depending on who you believe regarding the cause, that's either dodgy thermal paste application (blame Asustek/whoever again), or. I'd probably put money on that company also having built PPC systems for Apple at some point. If you want to blame someone, blame Foxconn/Hon Hai/Asustek/whoever built the system. Neither of these components were designed or built by Intel. The MBP's whine (arguably the biggest problem, barring heat) was caused by either: 1) the inverter for the LCD backlight, or 2) power regulation for the CPU, which (believe it or not) the G-series also required very similar parts. They're taking their parts from the same bin now quality suffers. Well Apple is using Intel parts now that explains the lower quality.

Look, Windows Media Player stole iTunes "look and feel", and method of starting playback of media content, sue em' Apple!
Notes and contacts, both trying to look like their real world counterparts, extremely genericĪ music and media related app having a musical note in it's icon, you think Apple came up with that and everyone else just followed? Come on Gearwheels for settings and configuration? Everyone have been using it since the birth of the GUI Camera makers have been using it since the advent of photography. Nature images and particularly flowers have been a popular motif for photography-related stuff. Even the standard position for it, the lower left corner, is simply because that's where a phone answer button is normally located.Ĭhat icon? The only likeness I can see is that it uses a speech bubble, which have been a norm for IM applications since long before Apple introduced iChat. The green angled phone icon!? The angled phone has been standard for phones since forever, it was usually the phone itself that was green, the only thing Apple did was making the background green instead. Anyone who owns a valuable brand has to defend it. Otherwise you're saying, okay, anybody who wants to can just make a clone that looks exactly like the iPhone. If you're Apple, you absolutely have to sue over this. Why would they make the phone icon a white handset angled up and to the right on a green background if they weren't deliberately trying to make it look like an iPhone? Hell, they even copied some of the icons - the Phone icon, the iTunes icon. Have you seen the pictures in Nilay Patel's article about the suit ()? They copied the look of the iPhone, exactly.
