Jul 5 2007Apple Steals Stuff
Turns out Apple has a pretty bad habit of stealing ideas from artists. Engadget put together a little collection of their recent thefts and it's pretty shameful. Although not nearly as shameful as the time I took my cousin out on a date by accident. Oh, man, the memories. The horrible horrible memories.

I think it's cute that even though Apple stole those ideas, they did all those advertisements way better than the originals. And let's not forget the odd similarities between Vista and Apple OS's, and yet people don't seem to mind those...

Dontcha think it's cute how all the MacPeople get so quickly defensive about their Apple-informed lifestyle choices?

Both videos were shot by the same director. Way to jump to conclusions. And this is about a year old.

Dontcha think it's cute that there's even such a rift between users of different types of computers?

So Apple is being sued by an artist, who he himself probably should be sued for his film where he "used" phone conversation bits from movies.

The artist who MADE the video for the emo band, made it for APPLE as well...that's why they look the same.
Plus, isn't this like...almost 2 year old news?
Don't make me throw monkey sauce at you.
