On Apple vs Apple
Since nothing else really interesting is happening, here is a CNN story about Apple vs Apple where you can read about the latest developments in the latest round of the never ending court battles as two bazillion dollar companies fight over who gets to use the word 'Apple' to sell music.
Who cares. My point stands. Dont like it, read elsewhere.

It isn't that simple, No Brainer. Trademarks exist to protect the consumer and the basis is that one could get the two brands mixed up. Now Apple Records may be pissed off that no one in the US cares about them, Beatles reissues aside, but that doesn't make their case legitimate. While it could be argued that Apple the computer company breached the previous contract, the previous contract should have never needed to be made. Apple isn't using their name to make a publishing company. Should a music store called "Apple Music Store" be denied because of the Apple Records trademark, nooooooooooooo. Nor should a stereo company called Apple Stereos. Only a record company, plain and simple. And..honestly..if you don't think the ipod and itunes are 'computing' products, you need an IQ test.
Moron.

1 - The fact they dont have beatles tunes on itunes does not negate the concept i was talking about.
2 - If i have to read the f-ing article instead of the summary, then the summary is bad, not my fault.
3 - goto hell.
