Vos argued Wednesday that although services like iTunes are permissible, Apple Computer should stay out of the music business if it uses the logo, a cartoonish apple with a neat bite out of its side. Apple Corps’ logo is a green Granny Smith apple.

Apple Corps has twice before sued Apple Computer over its use of the "Apple" name. The first lawsuit was settled out of court in 1981, with the young computer maker paying $80,000 and agreeing to stay out of the music business.

It is not Apple Computer's fault that Apple Corps basically "gave away the store" (pun intended) in 1991 when few people could conceive of selling music online without a physical media. The judge obviously agreed with this simple point. Apple Computer even went out of its way to make the Apple Computer logo disappear from the iTunes interface during the checkout process (not from within sound files, as some extremely naiive readers believe, which is totally nonsensical) to make sure there is no undue confusion of the logos.

Apple Computer Inc. will recall 1.8 million lithium ion laptop batteries after nine devices overheated, causing minor burns in two users, U.S. safety regulators announced [2] today. In both cases, the batteries had power cells made by Sony Corp.

If Apple Corps didn't INTEND to sign such an agreement granting Apple Computer such specific rights, the simplest answer would have been for them to simply NOT SIGN the 1991 agreement. Trying to wriggle out of that contract (for which they were paid a significant sum) is just silly at this point.

The Apple Lisa, introduced in 1983, used an innovative icon- and mouse-based graphical user interface that laid the foundation of today's computers and replaced the previous arcane text-based systems. But the Lisa was a commercial flop: Its high price_ $9,995 — sent business users to PCs from rival IBM Corp.
