By now, even if you have been living under a rock, you've heard of the pending litigation between Apple Corps, the company started by the Beatles, and the Apple computing company over the companies' logos.


In a nutshell, lawyers for the music company claim that Apple violated an agreement between the two companies when they used the logo for the iTunes music store. While lawyers for the computer company say "even a moron in a hurry" could distinguish between the two, according to an Associated Press report.

And just for the record, Apple - the computer company - paid Apple Corps - the music company - $26.5 million back in 1991 for the use of the logo. I guess that explains the "bite" in Apple's logo.

But really, isn't Apple's lawyer right? Can't every one see a difference between these two logos?

Well, if Apple Corps wins this lawsuit you can bet there will be plenty to follow. Personally, I'm going to say I made the first smiley face t-shirt and head after a multi-million company who's name shall not be used here for using the logo.
