Apple vs Apple -- Judgment Day
DaphneDiane writes "According to the Times Online Apple Computer successfully defended themselves vs the suit brought by Apple Corps." If you are looking for background on the case we had talked about it earlier. I'm just relieved that the battle of two bazillion dollar companies turned out well. Phew. And, of course, Apple Corp has filed an appeal already.
but the simple fact that Apple Computer exists is because Apple Corps agreed to let them continue using a name which could (at the time) have been confused, on the condition that Apple Computer not get into the music business.

Let me be the first whiney mac fanboi to say "waaah, waaah, waaaah," Apple Computers was always a bigger company then Apple Corp (even in 1968
Seriously - you make a good point, expect to be modded down for it as soon as the legions of Apple fanbois arrive.

Whoa -- Fanboy Spaz Attack!
But last time I checked, selling music to consumers does not equal "music-business".
Even you admit that it hinged on a point of interpretation. Put yourself in Apple Corp's shoes and it's quite easy to see how they believed they had a case and weren't simply being "money-hungry". (As if Apple Computer isn't.)
Oh, and I guarantee that if you were to start a business with "Apple" in the name that even had the slightest theoretical overlap with Apple Computer, they would do everything in their power to stomp you.
Whenever I hear the word 'Innovation', I reach for my pistol.
that's funny because you're an ass.
Can I bum a sig?
