The Beatles, Apple, and iTunes
novus ordo writes "Apple is being sued in London by Apple Corps, owned by the former Beatles and their heirs. This is a third battle over the name 'Apple' in Britain. Apple Corps has previously been awarded $26M by Apple Computer for the use of the name."
The Pope sueing anyone called Matthew, Mark, Luke or John?
Bill Borg sueing anyone who has the ordacity to install "Outside Viewing Portals" in their home?
I must admit, When I hear "All you Need is Love" on the Radio, I
immediately think: "Wow that was a good record by Steve Jobs! Why
he ditched music and went on to start a computer company is completely
beyond me!" Then I realise that I'm confused again, and it wasn't Steve
Jobs at all... it was Woz! Sheesh I'm an idiot!

Just so you know, The Beatles were a popular beat combo in the 1960's and 1970's, Apple was the name of their record label at the time.
'Records' were large black circular discs with grooves in them made from Vinyl, a metal needle would run over the disk and make sounds (mostly popping and scratching sounds).
Vinyl is a fragile black plastic that was popular at the time.
There were no video games back then, which is why music was so popular.
The great thing is, after this lawsuit is over, whatever the outcome, you and I will be able to say "I told you so." ;-)
You are not alone. This is not normal. None of this is normal.
