You may recall the minor hullabaloo around the time of the iPad launch that Chinese company Great Long Brother had released a tablet well before Apples that shares a certain distinctive design. They threatened to sue Apple for mimicking their own P88, though it’d be clear to a purblind marmoset that the P88 was mimicking the iPhone.

Well, things have taken a turn for the absurd. GLB has re-skinned their Windows tablet to look like OS X, though somehow I think we’ll be able to tell the difference.
