Apple drops ‘Computer’ from name..
I failed to mention in my previous post that Apple Computer has decided to become Apple, Inc. Ironically, I was reminded of this by Stephen Colbert in his “Wag of the Finger” segment, which is absolutely hilarious.
Why is this relevant to my previous post on the topic? Well, for those who don’t remember, Apple Computer has been sued three times by Apple Corps. Who the hell is Apple Corps? Yeah, I didn’t know either, but it’s another surprisingly large company. Apple Corps is the holding company for all the Beatles songs. That’s right folks, one of the most valuable sets of musical holdings worldwide, which is still raking in the royalties. These lawsuits have been big, big, big and I wouldn’t be overly surprised if dropping the “Computer” from the name caused them some more legal trouble.
