Wanderermy Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Dean Kaplan created an iPad cutting board. Unfortunately for him, Apple’s lawyers told him to stop selling them. The reason given was based on “likeness” issues. According to Kaplan: Truth is I never sold any, but a few lucky people in the industry received a few (like at last WWDC). I still have a stack of them, along with original prototype. I think I’ll figure out a way to give them to the truly deserving among us. Maybe someone who thinks this is outrageous will blog or tweet about it and catch my eye. Just maybe. In December, we highlighted a different cutting board that looked a lot like an Apple iDevice. Created by myBrett, the board sells for 15 Euros. As of today, this item is still available. While I respect Apple’s right to protect its intellectual property, we’re talking about cutting boards here, folks. What do you think? Should Apple be worrying about cutting boards, or have they crossed a line? Leave your comments below Apple Sauce Seriously, Apple ... ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TEX4S Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Apple is protecting their cutting edge products. protecting from a cutting board ? yeah thats a viable threat.

Teebor Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Wow they look truly awful in the picture in this thread, however the ones on their website do look much better But still, its a hell of a stretch at no point does it say its anything to do with apple, the icons don't look apple and it could just as easily be any other phone/tablet product. Sheesh wtf Apple? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techbeck Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Because a cutting board will work and function like an iPad...funny stuff Well, maybe it will work better...
