Apple Takes Action Over Australian Logos

Posted by kdawson on from the that's-no-w dept.

sams67 writes "Australian supermarket Woolworth is on the receiving end of an action from Apple over Woolworth's new logo. The green, highly stylized 'W' logo could at best be described as 'apple-like.' As outlined in the article, Apple is taking similar action in Australia against music festival promoter, Poison Apple, and pay TV provider Foxtel, over their fruit-related logos."

    Apple never had a plot to loose! They have always produced somewhat dubious hardware. Anyone who thinks the iPod was an apple invention wasn't alive at the dawn of MP3 players either. Apple mice with one button tend to say it all about the attention span of Apple users, as well as their IQ's ...

    I admit it. I hate Apple. I hate their philosophy. I hate their restrictions. I hate their closed nature. I hate their smugness. I hate their marketing lies like "it just works" and "think different" (aka like a brainwashed moron).

    Btw. I don't like apple either, but come on...

    If you get modded down, it has nothing to do with fanbois: It has to do with your attitude and total lack of information in your post. You've said practically nothing of value to the average Slashdot reader, so why expect positive feedback?

    If you don't like Apple, their products, or anything associated with them... fine. But if you're getting consistently modded down, it's probably your approach that's the issue. If you'll put forth why, what, and how Apple is good/evil, you might even find a few comrades/enemies ready to welcome/argue your (un)justified criticism.
