All companies imitates each other. You just notice it more when it's a company that you don't like. Just like between Sony and Nintendo. Sony copies that dog game and Motion Sensors, everyone is a critic. But when Nintendo starts copies Web Browsing and the camera or the standing console design, nothing is said.
They may look the same, but right after that picture they are drastically different! The Apple products fall in a clattering heap, whilst the Sony cameras' batteries spontaneously combust, leaving a molten pile of scrap metal!
I've had almost-new AA batteries heat up and burst before while still in the device. Thankfully I wasn't holding it at the time, but I really wondered what that pungent odor was. The problem was easily rectified (with thick rubber gloves), but it's far from unheard of...just very rare.
Years ago in high school, I randomly had some AA batteries in my pocket. They heated up my pocket to the point where they were nearly burning and I was dancing around the classroom trying to get them out while people looked on like I was crazy. After I got them out of my pocket, I forced a few people to feel how hot the batteries were so they would know I wasn't completely crazy.

Well... Imitation is the highest form of flattery, right...?
Ah, Sony's advertising firm, did you really think nobody would notice?

The same could probably be said of Apple's advertising firm when they were caught using other people's concepts and copyrighted material

See, they're really not the same at all...

The fun only begins once you plug the Sony camera into your computer and the rootkit starts installing.
