    I like how they make a deal with Apple Records in the 80s that allowed both companies to use similar logos so long as Apple Computers didn’t sell music and Apple Records didn’t sell computers.

    Then when iTunes became Apple’s #1 product in the 2000s Apple successfully defended itself in court claiming that digital downloads were just 1s and 0s, so Apple Computers never sold music.

      Did it actually go to trial? The line I heard was that when developing the iPod/iTunes they simply had a budget item for “Settlement with Apple Records”.

    What is worse than an apple with a bite taken out and a worm in it?

      That joke contained an apple with a bite taken out of it, you can expect to hear from Apple’s lawyers soon.
