Apple copies from Dell, yet again

A good hint at how comprehensible the rest of the message is going to be -- using Intel processors really isn't copying Dell. Manufacturers did that since before Dell existed.

"Pimping"? Are you incapable of writing without the insulting angles and suggestiveness? Apple is providing a new backup method. It is a new feature. It is being done in a different way from most other tools. They are promoting that it will be useful and significant -- that's all.

Great, but... So? Does that mean that no one else should be offering any kind of backup or restore functions? Apple has a different method in mind, and they are offering it. That's a good thing. If someone has offered that method before, and it's a good one, then that's a good thing for that other producer. It's just nonsense to suggest this is anything bad.

Is that what you think you are writing about? Apple has copied EVERY new feature from Dell and Microsoft? I see two posts from you about features that you are suggesting existed before -- one from Dell and one from Microsoft. Are you seriously suggesting those two features represent the majority of all new features, in the sense that they are being copied from other makers?

Even if that were true (and I'm not even convinced of these two minor claims of yours!), does it make Apple's efforts meaningless? Aren't they still useful features, being improved upon by a better, more graceful and consistent interface? It would only mean that Apple didn't have rights to claim those features as invented by them.
