Sour Apple

Does this remind you of anything?




Nope, me neither. But master of the universe Steve Jobs thinks it looks like this:

and has filed a copyright infringement claim. Ummm, right. This is a surprisingly Microsoft-like move for Apple. Even more ironic is that Apple is constantly settling with the Beatle's Apple Corp (from which it gets its name) for the very same thing-- turns out the original agreement let Apple Computer use the name for, well, computers, but insisted they steer clear of music for fear of confusion... in 1984 the plans for the iPod weren't quite hatched yet.

Let's hope Apple comes to its senses and renegs. Part of the countersuit would revoke Apple's Apple's trademark (that was not a stutter) alleging that it is too generic to achieve trademark status.

ok.. times... I do not get an apple at all. I get the infinity symbol... like the sound system one. But that is just me.
