If You Can’t Threaten Apple, Rip Them Off Instead

(Images courtesy of The Register and Giz-China) You’ve gotta love the Chinese knock-off market: After one company’s attempt to threaten Apple with stealing their tablet idea for the iPad failed, they turned right around and ripped off Cupertino instead. The Register is reporting on Shenzhen Great Loong Brother, a Chinese tablet PC maker who raised some eyebrows last month when they claimed that Apple stole their six-month-old P88 tablet for the iPad. “I was very angry and surprised two days ago when I saw the news of the iPad presentation,” Shenzhen president Wu Xiaolong told the Spanish news site El Mundo in early February. “It is certainly our design.” After getting nowhere with idle legal threats, the Chinese tablet maker has now turned around and stolen the look & feel of Mac OS X, “pasted it onto Windows, and installed it on their aforementioned touchscreen tablet,” The Register reports. Most comically, while the engineers at Shenzhen Great Loong Brother have indeed captured the spirit of Cupertino as seen in the photos here from Chinese gadget blog Giz-China , they failed to copy the correct device — their P88 now looks like a Mac OS X device and not the iPad that they were screaming about Apple emulating in the first place. Better luck next time, guys.

For this week’s Shooting Challenge , I asked you to capture a photography by the light of just one candle. Your response, as always, was remarkable. Most Meme “Taken with a tripod mounted Canon XSi with a Canon 50mm f1.8 and an extension tube. Exposure was f/2 @ 1/50s, ISO 320.” [ Ed note: Close call, given the Portal shot in the galleries. ] -Adam Carlson Most Clever “This was “shot” using my Canon 7D with the 50mm f1.8 prime. Tripod, ISO 800, 1/6 shutter, f2.8. The only light in the image is from a taper candle inserted into a disassembled MAG-Lite. To keep the flame from melting the reflective lens of the flashlight, the setup was aimed up and the final image rotated.” -Christian Shaffer Most Fiery “The shot was taken with my Canon S90 @ F8, ISO 400 and with a 15sec exposure on a tripod. To achieve the blur, I adjusted the head of the tripod downward and back to it’s starting position quickly at the start of the exposure.” -Jesse Oliveri Favorite on Film Camera: Mamiya RZ67 Lens: Mamiya-Sekor 110mm Film: Kodak 160VC Shot at: f2.8 at 1 sec Reflective metered with a Sekonik L-508 Scanned at a low resolution -Gabriel Padilla Winner Canon 5dMark II Sigma 70-200mm EX ISO 100 F 2.8 Shutter speed 2.5 “I hung the statue upside down to make it appear that the light was coming from up above. Using long term exposure I quickly moved the candle to light the side of his face.” [ Ed note: This image subverted my expectations completely, re-imagining soft candle light as a crisp backlight. Also, I have a soft spot for The Incredibles, silhouettes and the color red .] -Felix Mendoza Note: there are two galleries this week for the sake of our back end: If participants proved one thing this week, it’s that a single candle is more than apt for photography by modern dSLRS. Well, that, and they’re all gluttons for punishment. Nice job, everyone. Now cheer* on your favorites in the comments! (*Just be sure to do so without, you know, being a dick to other participants. Also, for anyone wondering why the lead shot didn’t win, it was taken last summer making it ineligible for competition.)
