As for similarities with the .Mac icon, the only resemblance I can see is the blue globe. Apart from that they're not alike at all. Apple is hardly the first company to make use of a blue sphere in it's artwork. Congratulations on creating a very impressive icon.

The only resemblance I see is the blue color (although different shades and lighting) and spherical shape (an Earth in the shape of a cube just doesn't seem right).

That's all I'll say further, as you clearly have no interest in looking at changing it or coming up with a better rationale for certain insane things than "it's a detail".
