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.
They were thinking of settling out of court, and it was going quite well for Apple Corp until, in the middle of negotiation, they broke down.
Athletic Scholarships to universities make as much sense as academic scholarships to sports teams.
You're kidding me right?

Apple won out against the RIAA, Apple won out against France, and now Apple won out against the Beatles' old label. Despite it, every investor knows the truth: Apple is dying. Watch their stock price for a decline this afternoon in light of this terrible, tragic, positive news.
Yes, this is sarcasm. Except for the stock decline thing.
You cannot truly appreciate Dilbert until you read it in the original Klingon.
Even better, call it eMacs and bundle it with GNU/Herd and Emacs.
24 beers in a case, 24 hours in a day. Coincidence? I think not!
Notice that I never said anyone had to be a genius to appreciate it either!
Slashdot: 24 hours behind every other site or your money back!

Modern copyright is theft of culture from everyone and it retards the progress of the useful arts and sciences.
... and I was pretty fearful that Yoko Ono was gonna own me!
That'd really suck!

Apple Corps has however appealed the decision.
Also, there's some name hilarity in this article:
"I find no breach of the trademark agreement has been demonstrated," Mr Justice Mann said in his judgment on Monday. "The action therefore fails."
Justice Mann is even more cartoony than Judge Dredd.

Beatles: Hey Jude, I thought we agreed there's only room for one apple in this business!
Apple: STFU, we're not IN your business.
Beatles: I know it's been a hard day's night for you, but yeah, you are.
Apple: STFU.
Beatles: Right, we'll see you in the Court on Penny Lane.
(later)
Court: Beatles, STFU.
Apple: We have triumphed yet again!
Beatles: Waaaaaah! Twist and Shout! You never give me your money! We'll appeal and then you're going to lose that girl!
All: STFU!

Sure they could confuse the two. It's very unfair to A-B if an American in Prague orders a Budweiser and instead of getting what he expected, he's actually served a drinkable beer. Can you imagine what would happen to A-B if all of their customers accidentally tasted a good beer? They'd be out of business almost immediately.
Don't blame me; I'm never given mod points.
