iMac LCD Impostors

cannonball_D writes "CNet has an article about the first (?) inevitable PC imitation LCD iMac from Gateway. The design is a step in the right direction, but I still think it has all the tell-tale signs of a cheap knock-off. " It really looks like it lacks the elegance of the apple design, but I'm all for the LCD based terminal to be available on x86.

Why does style have to be feminie?

[Ars-Fartsica]

The materials and the look of the iMac are far too feminine. The iMac is the VW of comuters and most guys I think would be embarrassed driving a VW (at least any straight guy).

Why not use more "maculine" materials? There is a lot of cool design work you could do with red and blue anodized metals, surgical steel, carbon fiber or other industrial-type materials. Yes, Apple does use something respectable in the Tbook, but the rest of the line is for girls, period.

Sheesh

Absolute proof positive that no matter how different product X is from a Mac, Mac people will claim that product X was "ripped off" from the Mac. The proof used to be that Mac people constantly claimed that Windows was a "rip off" of the Mac even though the user interfaces are different in almost every possible way (with the exception of mouse and pixels).
