some good comments on there.
"Being a railway, they probably have some maps which work. I suggest Apple steal those next."

I see that clock face everywhere.

It stays.
- Don't put that clock on a pedestal.TheBlueOne
- LOL elahon.... nice reference.rupedixon

He's only dead a few months and they are falling to shit already

I hope they get kicked in the nuts repeatedly, to base an entire business model on theft and the persecute anyone who does anything similar is rank hypocrisy and they deserve every lawsuit they get.
- BOH!instrmntl
- chill out, they just give them a little cash and it's overmonospaced
- Mono...you're doing a lot of Apple defending mate. This is a stone cold theft, they deserve a slappig
- yes, a slap in the form of paying them, I'm NOT defending, just stating simple factsmonospaced
- Mono is the definition of fanboy.instrmntl
- they'll toss over some chump change and laughmonospaced
- I'm NOT a fanboy! I only own two Apple devices: an iPhone 4 and an Apple TVmonospaced
- and if I state that they'll just settle for some $, how does that make me a fanboy?monospaced

well... you could always ask what Apple conceptually owes Kirk McKusick and Bill Joy and some of the other unix BSD authors...

I would absolutely love for them to be able to sue apple for this
- they will, and they'll get some $ and that'll be the end of itmonospaced

^ "Mondaine's Official Swiss Railways SBB Watch has itself been named one of the 10 classic watch-making designs to have come from Switzerland."
- Yeah love the watch. Didn't mean Mondaines stole the design.cizo
- then what are you saying?monospaced
- desmo0
I actually have the Mondaine watch. It was the first thing I noticed when I updated my iPad to iOS6. Kinda lame that they used that design for the clock icon. Make something new!!

Like I said a million times.... Apple will fall without Steve Jobs.
- when?monospaced
- Sad facedesmo
- do you really think a clock motif will cause an Apple fail? how narrow-minded of youmonospaced
- give it 3-5 years.... they'll eventually either fade out, or misfire a new big thing that doesn't work too well....vaxorcist
- 3-5 YEARS? Way to not commit to your massive cock of an assumption.monospaced
- when? it's not an exact date mono, it's a slow decline.CanHasQBN
- Everything they're doing is lazy, uncreative design that Steve would fire people over.CanHasQBN
- This is a blatant rip. If you're a company that claims to be at the forefront of design, you're creating your own shit...CanHasQBN
- ...not outright stealing designs.CanHasQBN
- mono have you seen the new App store? Have you experienced how completely unusable it is?CanHasQBN
- Such a failure. Apple can't even sell a single product. It's so sad. They're for sure fonna fail by 2050.monospaced
- Idiots.monospaced
- The idea of "Apple is doomed" "failing" "the new iPad killer" etc is fanboy/hater nonsense.inteliboy
- If MS could decline from such a global monopoly in less than a decade, so can Apple.ETM
- Sony, Sun, Blockbuster, Dell, IBM. A couple companies people once thought would never decline.ETM
- Who's saying Apple won't "sell a single product"? You're ridiculous.CanHasQBN
- I'm saying if they keep this shit up, they will start declining. They're not gonna go bankrupt. Don't put words in my mouth.CanHasQBN
- If any other company or person stole a design, you'd be yelling 'rip!". But Apple can do no wrong...CanHasQBN
- You said fail. Not me. Also, this is a rip. but apple still wins.monospaced
- I said fall, not fail. Read better. Also, you're acknowledging that Apple ripped it, but just simply don't care? Awesome.CanHasQBN
- Odd that you like Apple so much, but hold them to such low standards.CanHasQBN
- Yes, Apple ripped it. BIG DEAL! Who cares? It's not a fall.monospaced

Apple to meet with Swiss Rail to discuss the issue.
>> SBB was unable to provide an exact date for the gathering, but its spokesperson added, “We’re rather proud that a brand as important as Apple is using our design, it’s already on show in exhibitions in places like New York.” <<
- haha. quite different than the other comments above.Gucci
