appleinsider.com — Although supposedly a meeting of equals, the touted deal between Apple, Inc. and Apple Corps has given the former a decisive victory with some of the famed music label's most cherished US trademarks changing hands. The US Patent and Trademark Office show that Apple Corps has given up more of the trademarks associated with The Beatles' own company..

This doesn't really suprise me considering how stupid Apple is. I think we call all agree on that.

With the rate of Boomers dying increasing I can't imagine that the value of this crappy music will stay valuable for much longer. Take a look at the MP3 collection of anyone under 25 and you'll be hard pressed to find ANY Beatles music. This whole thing is a big loss for Apple in the long run. Job$ is a big fan so Apple pursues the rights. It is what it is.

What are you smoking? I know so many people that like The Beatles that I wouldn't be able to count them all, and I'm only fifteen, man.

"We'll see how rap survives after 40 years."It won't survive, except as an historical oddity of early 21st century pop culture. The Beatles, on the other hand, are ageless—like Mozart on acid. Imagine a whole new generation hearing Sgt. Pepper and Magical Mystery Tour for the first time!

I want to hear the entire Beatles catalogue translated into Chinese. Oh, yes, it will be done.

I personally believe that if you can't find value in a particular sort of music, you don't deserve the right to criticize other people's choices. Get out of your moms basement. The Beatles are something special for many people, young or old. I guess at 27 that makes me part of the 'old' camp :V
