They give iPods to celebrities who give awards on shows that have nothing to do with Apple. They can give the dude who designed their logo a f**kin' iPod.Also, FTFA: "In 1977, Rob Janoff was handed a lousy pro bono assignment"; pro bono means doing work for free, usually for the public good. So either the article is wrong, or he did not, in fact, get paid for it.
Where the hell did you come from? Are you completely aware you are an imbecile, or are you struggling on valiantly despite your genetic handicap?1. If you're going to cite a source, be sure that it supports your position more-or-less explicitly. Where does your source say that Apple Computers took their inspiration from the functionally-dead Apple Corps? Oh, it doesn't, you say? Because Apple Computers was named after a founder's favorite f**king fruit? Holy s**t! I think we have a goddamned motive, here? Besides, we all know that the Catholic Church is considering a lawsuit against the Beatles for co-opting their symbol of Original Sin....2. If you're going to cite a source, don't f**king cite Wikipedia fer chrissakes. There are at least a hundred sites elsewhere on the Internet (as well as these things called books) that give more in-depth analysis of this particular event. Just because one of your verbally-incontinent friends happened to pass this link on to you in the Internet equivalent of oral herpes doesn't mean that it's valid. You have your preconceived notions of what actually happened, you read a vague and completely inadequate article, and yes! It backs you up simply because the writer was too rushed, too incompetent, or too uninterested to give a balanced and detailed account of the ongoing litigation. Congratulations: you are an uninformed, slipshod sock puppet.3. The *cough*[insert poorly-researched and reactionary term here]*cough* bulls**t is approximately 4.3x10^13 years too old to ever be seen again on the internet. You're not clever, you're not funny, and you're certainly not the last bastion of rebellious, independent thought in a bubbling morass of intellectual bovinity. Just say what you want to say clearly, intelligently, and with some actual, you know, premises that can form a valid proof of whatever rectal bubbling you're trying to pass off as an interesting point. 4. Don't pass off some random pundit's bulls**t as a new, interesting fact. Everyone on here is well f**king aware that Apple Corps sues Apple Computers almost as often as everyone else sues Microsoft. You're not spreading some new, relevant subject matter here. Nobody f**king cares. People who prefer Windows prefer Windows and either don't read Apple articles or read them briefly and scatter before they contract misanthropy from exposure to your dumb ass ways. People who prefer OS X have probably heard this a billion times. People who prefer Linux don't have to be told s**t, since they already know everything ;) And the trolls are sorta like Leonard Shelby in that movie Memento: they are incapable of making new memories, so they don't matter.So all in all, your post ends up being roughly as valid, on-topic, and interesting as the following lame story about a rare Indonesian snake that I found in my bathroom the other day:I found a rare Indonesian snake in my bathroom the other day. It was two inches long, as thick as pencil lead, is almost completely blind, and all members of the species are female, share the same DNA, and reproduce asexually through parthenogenesis. It's a Brahminy Blind Snake. So yeah, while my comment may be interesting to me, it's not to anyone else. It's, like, lame and stuff.*waves a fetus puppet*
gypsyjoe....you have a lot to learn. Being a man has nothing to do with sexual preference. And Hemingway was more of a man that you could possibly be in 100 lifetimes.With that said, you may resume your state of inadequacy by being a homophobe.

This is ancient. I saw this in Wired about 6 months ago.

He created the logo, but the Beatles created the name.

Eve should be suing Apple Corps, not Apple.
