True, you can't patent a 'square box'. However, the design is more than this. There's the measurements. The design of the connection panel on the back, the CD slot. All the little things add up.
To be honest, it really is just quite depressing to look at. I like the way they have to do a PowerMac G5 style job with the top in order to keep it cool.
I can also take delicious irony in the fact that it probably will be more expensive!
Oh, and if it does have any kind of success, then hopefully, it will at least force Apple to ship more RAM/better graphics card with the mini

You don't have to patent the square box to have protection under the law.
The Mac Mini has a certain trade dress (look, feel, function)
They will be protected just the same as they were with the eMachines eOne ripoff.

I bet there'll be people saying that the rip-off came out before the Mac mini. PC weenies...ha! I actually get called a "PC basher" by some. Hilarious.

If you're a horse, and someone gets on you, and falls off, and then gets right back on you, I think you should buck him off right away.

Remember back in 1999 when Apple was granted an injunction to stop the iMac rip-off's? Too long ago for you to remember? Then how about the iPod Shuffle knock-off that Apple stopped a couple months ago? How about all of the other unmentioned Apple knock off's that Apple has stopped in the past? How many questions can I ask at the beginning of this article?
