I misread, based on replies. Thanks for pointing out another interpretation, all. Apologies.

  I don't see how your original comment does not apply if it's targetted to a different group. Even if it's companies, they are "companies of people". Seems a bit disingenuous.

    I accepted the correction from others here in accordance with a site guideline about this exact scenario: > Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith. I was unable to come up with a good faith and plausible interpretation; others found one that I'd missed, and thus I retracted my objection. The author apparently later confirmed their interpretation, but that was not factored into my retraction, and is not relevant to the guideline I'm trying to adhere to. To your comment about "disingenuous", I've spent most of my life being misunderstood for making perfectly logical statements that other people decided were some sort of slander instead of trying to understand in good faith given the context that I'm a nerd with social disorders. So I'd prefer to avoid being upset with someone else over a misinterpretation when I wish others would be less upset with me about them.

      Good approach, and I guess I can see my comment to be along the lines of those "perfectly logical" ones, but ignoring the social context: I try, though :) Thanks for the honest perspective!

  Indeed I meant most other laptop manufacturers, who copy Apple’s designs almost as cravenly as do smartphone manufacturers. I’m a longtime MacBook user myself, and I do like my new Air, but I have two adapters plugged into it half the time.
