Apple TV rips Atari design?
OK. I’ll admit it.
I was checking out EBay this morning for an Atari 2600 for my kids.
One of the listings caught my attention…
Atari 2600 packaging circa 1982
Apple TV site circa 2007
A coincidence no?
Another not so obvious similarity is that the Apple TV and Atari 2600 have about the same amount of on-board storage!
Someone needs to be held accountable for this…
NOTE: It seems a few rather humorless people aren’t aware that this post is “tongue-in-cheek”. To all you fragile fan-boys: I’m one too
UPDATE: Engadget is reporting that Apple are being sued by a Colorado based photographer for copyright violation of a photograph he allegedly took. Clearly this Atari plagiarism is rampant! Oh, and in case Apple is reading this and feeling very relieved that my discovery has let them off the hook - you’re welcome.
