  An article on the BBC site is making parallels between the first portable radio and the iPod. Riiiiiiight. In other news, a flatscreen plasma TV hanging on the wall looks like an old Leonardo da Vinci painting. Hmmmm

  I dont think they are implying that it is a design ripoff, rather that fads + fashion go round, and round, and round, and round, and round, and round... /fades

  I think they're implying that fads come in a circular fashion, and that nothing really changes that much. Edit-Bah, milk's beaten me to it. Edited by The Old Bill at 12:46:29 23-09-2005
