Apple are dealing with competition the wrong way. They should try make better products than the competitor, not forcefully pull them off the market. The end-user should be able to decide which they buy.

So when the day comes that some other country gets pissed off at the US and declares war, could those guys do me a favor and put Apple high on the target list? Thanks

The laptop either has to look like that, or it doesn't have the sloping edge, meaning it will look even thicker
Read the title as Megatron, thought the Dicepticons would have to get funding elsewhere.
Most people would do the same if they were in the same state, new laptop thats competing with yours is being made. You have to power to ruin its production. Why the hell not?
I have a feeling that everyone who I've heard likes apple products because they 'support innovation' and 'are the underdogs in the corporate world' really know jack shit and just buy the products because they're white, seeing there are a bunch of articles like this showing Apple's blatant dickery.

If enough people boycotted Apple products we could make a serious difference here

THey buy them because they are pretty slick, speedy for light applications on the MBA, and a bit stronger with the MBP. and mac OSX is incredibly simple to use.

[QUOTE='[EG] Pepper;34712822']Well what else could they make it look like? a circle?
