The Apple Name Game
Apple Core sent a link to an article running in Australia about Apple fighting for their name with some little telco called Apple Communications. Well, they were called that. Now they are Green.

Hey Apple, why don't you sue Apple Records too???
I swear to god, how do you guys like Apple? They're worse than Microsoft.
Apple is a small company founded and led by a bunch of pedantic bastards who think they are superior to everyone else (well, Wozniak was sort of okay). They try to do what's best for them. They think they have the right to forbid everyone else from using the word "Apple", even if they have nothing to do with computers or operating systems (what's next, suing McDonald's and Scotsmen for using "Mac"? Or maybe X-Windows for using "X", or OS/2 for using "OS"). They are not a mega-corporation, they are just mega-lo-maniacs. It's sad to see part of the OSS community being fooled by Apple. They are much, much worse than Microsoft (thank God they're also much smaller).
Oh, wrong corporation.
Especially Mac users.

Slashdot will explode under the weight of Apple apologists saying there was nothing wrong with Apple's actions, and that despite appearances to the contrary, Apple is all sweetness and light and nothing like the corporate scum their actions indicate.
