Apple Threatens Bistro Over "AppleADay" Name

itwbennett writes "In today's edition of David v. Goliath, Apple lawyers have sent cease and desist letters to a tiny health food restaurant in Luxembourg named AppleADay. For their part, the owners of AppleADay, with help from a lawerly friend, have promised that they would continue to sell only food, not computers. Of course, Apple knows as well as anyone that promises are made to be broken, having famously promised Apple Corps, the Beatles' production company, they would never get into the music business."

    This is what happens when lawyers have too much time on their hands.

    Yes. Clearly, the optimal solution is to remove lawyers' hands at once.

    They need to sue each and every individual apple in the world, and the apple trees too, and get a promise from said apple trees that they will no longer grow said apples, or even miniature apples, from now on to be called Apps(tm).
