Speaking of Apple

Apple Computers successfully defended itself against Apple Corps, The Beatle's record label, in British Court after it alleged the computer company could not use its Apple logo on its iTunes Music Store Web site because it violated a 1991 agreement that Apple Computers would not enter Apple Corps music label territory.
The Associated Press reported High Court Judge Anthony Mann ruled the computer company's logo is used in association with a store, not a music label.
Neil Aspinall, the manager of Apple Corps, told reporters that he would take the issue to the British Court of Appeals.
Meanwhile, a guy in Wisconsin was sitting at his computer, wondering why Apple Corps can't seen to get it straight that it is a RECORD LABEL that sells RECORDS to RECORD STORES.
"Apple Corps seems hellbent on destroying the very thing that would keep the legacy of The Beatles alive," he said. "Would you sue Sam Goody? Would you sue Wal-Mart? No! THEY SELL YOUR PRODUCT! That's like a farmer suing a grocery store because they call their produce farm fresh. GET OVER IT!"
