It appears they overstepped the mark moving into Music, etc....which had been agreed 'belonged' to the Beatle's 'Apple' label....

It's rather ironic considering how Apple defends its stuff and threatens others with litigation. That's a bit of a whopper given their previous legal history with Apple Corps.

This isn't the first time. It'll probably get solved the same as before. Apple is going to dish out a couple of tens of millions and things are going to settle.

Was that pun on purpose sig101? Apple Corps (pronounced apple cores) 
Will be interesting to see how this is settled. My guess is it settles out of court, with Apple the music company getting a piece of Apple's pie (I just had to say that
)

MAC in the USA pretty much was always applied to MAC Trucks.
(Apple) Macintosh Computers
(MAC) Semi Trucks
Paul owns rights to most of the Music and I think has holdings in the Apple (Label) trademark also. So it will only take bunches of Green Backs which is the Pits for Steve
It would be funny if they were not allowed to use that freaking Apple anymore though

nope, have one sitting right beside me.
I've figured out whats wrong with it but haven't taken time to fix it yet.
Justin did not install the OS 9 so some of the networking components will not work with the Netgear Wireless Router.
The memory issue was because he had half assed installed XChat and a Newsgroup reader and never removed them correctly so they were loading crap and leaving leaks in Memory...
MAC is still just a computer...
I love it, G4 1gtz with 1 gig of ram and it runs circles around my P4 2.6 gtz with 2 gig of ram...
dunno why, but it does....

Speaking of lousy company names that shouldn't have been trademarked, how about Windows?
("The Windows Operating system has detected that you have just used the word "Windows" without the prior permission of Microsoft Corporation. You have been fined ten cents" ChaChing!")
deleted can just imagine...

I hate how this one company thought that trademarking "Window blinds" was all right! I wouldn't be surprised if I saw them suing companies that make window blinds demanding money for trademark infringement!
