Apple is using exactly the same atoms and molecules as everyone else. They didn't invent a single new atom. So what is this nonsense about others copying Apple's MacBook Air? Apple just markets the same old atoms better to its deluded tiny fanbase.
So by your logic, everyone uses the same "atoms". No one invents anything. It's all marketing.
So who does the inventing? Elves?
Because inventing has been done. Technology looks vastly different than it did even 10 years ago, nay 5. For instance, I don't recall seeing a super-slim laptop without an optical drive with an oversized multitouch trackpad in an aluminum unibody case before, well, the Air.
The writer of this article, Daniel Eran Dilger, has no clue -- NONE!!! -- what Adam Smith's invisible hand of the market metaphor refers to or means. Had he known, he wouldn't have used it to shoot what's remaining of his credibility straight to Hell. How embarrassing. What he said is complete, utter NONSENSE.
Yes, because DED was specifically addressing macroeconomic forces. And Adam Smith owns all uses of the term "invisible hand".
Someone woke up on the serious side of the bed. Was Adam Smith a blood relative of yours? Did DED defile his corpse in the family plot? Time for the daily prozac dose, methinks.

True that. And the Air came out in 2008, 4 years to date. Apparently it takes quite a while for the competition to catch up, and invent things.

In all fairness they copied the original model, too. Not so much in case design but it technical fundamentals. Exact same CPU, same screen size, soldered RAM, no ODD, non-user-removable battery, etc.
it wasn't until the revamped MBAs in October 2010 that things changed.
With this includes the Intel Ultrabook reference design that vendors are using. It's funny that Apple queried Intel for a CPU they could use so Intel put into production the CULV chips and now they are a big seller for Intel across all major vendors. I have to wonder how Apple feels about Intel's reference design.
