Mimicry is the highest form of a compliment right?!!!
Not hatin' on blamads. I worked with them and they're great.
But... they are copycats just like everyone else. cpalead and adscend have been around for a long time. eagle just used his rep to get it to the level it is
This ^^^^^^^^
To those that are Hate'n on the copycats:
I guess we should all drive a FORD!!
Eat only KFC, no Popeye's or Chik-fil-a for anyone!!!!
No Pizza Hut, Dominoes, Little Caesar, or Papa John's for for anyone either!!!
Only IBM computers, tough Noogies to you Mac, no Apples today then!!!
Etc.....etc.....etc....!!!!!!!!!!
Lulz
BTW, for the uninformed, competition and a free market tend to FORGE a better product or service in an industry over time. Now, whether the original or the copycat gets better is usually not known until the dust settles.
There are some valid arguments against copycat competition though. The main one being that with competition profits are lower and therefore leave less resources to improve upon current products & services or to fund research for new products & services.
So it actually SLOWS down the evolutionary cycle of a product or service.
Do we think this is true in the Cell Phone/Mobile Industry? Quite the opposite actually, but it was/is the actual service providers that are funding the evolution there and not just the manufacturers themselves.
One important note here though, competition & a free market are also what keep Midas from having the ONLY touch in his business endeavors!!!
ROFLMAO!!!!
