Apple loses bid to hear Beatles case in U.S.
April 6, 2004 - 12:20 EDT   
A London High Court judge on Tuesday struck down Apple Computer's
request to have the trademark lawsuit between it and Apple Corps moved
from Britain to the United States. Apple Computer argued that the U.S.
was the proper place for the hearing as this was where the original
agreement between the two companies was struck. Apple Corps, which is
owned by members of the Beatles and their families, claims that the
iTunes Music Store breaches a 1991 agreement over the "Apple" trademark.

TOO LATE!
My peace proposal from Yoko and me to Steve Jobs and Al Gore will
arrive tomorrow (Passover) and the evil influence of Citizen Kandykane
and Fatface and all the piggies will go down in flaming pies~!
And... the Eagle has landed. BBC just arrived in their oceanfront
hotel rooms. The producer/writer said they had a grueling shoot in
NYC.
The cameraman is a California boy. They come over around 930 in the
morning. I have a plan.
This is gonna be the most fun commercial... and like the mention of
the iPod in last Sunday's Sopranos episode, and Tony's bite of the red
apple (toxic knowledge) the signals are clear.
There is no more time to waste.
I am soaring tonight.

 YES

The thought plickens....
To be continued (must it?)

I've never understood why a start-up company run by baby-boomers would call
their new company "Apple".
They all must have owned the White Album.  They would have been listening to
Abbey Road while they tinkered with the soldering irons and the operating
system.  They could not possibly have been unaware that the trademark
"Apple" was already widely identified with one of the best-known brand names
in the world: The Beatles, for Chrissakes!
Some of the smartest people of the 20th century chose a brand name that was
already (famously!) taken.
What were they thinking?

 What were they thinking?
That Newton's apple (the source of Apple Computers' name) was rather
more prominent in the world's memory than the record label of a
defunct rock group?
(This is 1977-ish, remember -- the Apple Records project had been in
limbo since '73 or so.)

Hmmmm.....  I'm sure I've a recollection of Jobs/Woz saying
something about it being Beatles related.....  Surely
someone's got a good source of an early quote?  :-))

Um, I believe the cite you're seeking is the First Chapter of Genesis
(Old Testament).

 What were they thinking?
Steves Jobs and Woz aren't *that* bright.  Woz is an engineer.  Jobs is
mad.  Neither of them thought of being in competition with Apple Corp,
the *music* firm, because they were in a different business on a
different scale.
Now that they *are* in such competition, they are of course trying to
trample the other brand name flat in conventional business fashion:
they've got more money so they think they have a right to win.
