Recapping, you can’t claim originality on rectangles, blank square or general design trade dress between items because those designs are “obvious”. So I guess that means Microsoft definitely isn’t copying Apple store with the blue top, white lanyard style becuase that’s also an obvious design. Source: Microsoft Store
An interesting read here from a Times columnist about moving into a post pc future and just how well the iPad copes with being a content creation tool. I personally fall into the consumption role and not using the iPad no where near as much as should for blogging, ideas etc.

Pre orders have been stopped and google have said they will be fulfilling all pre orders for the Nexus Q for free citing the fact it needs to be Android powered and a lack of functionality.
Being an underwhelming device despite the massive hoo haa upon release it did seem expensive for what it was, limited and never really capturing the imagination of developers.

This leads me nicely onto the MacAlly L-Dock which is a portable, Foldable iPhone Synch / Charging Dock.
