I'm sorry Apple, I'm afraid I can't do that.

Precisely. It's just getting silly. What's next? Car companies start suing each
other, because clearly someone ripped someone off because all cars have
wheels under them.

And as a cherry on top, not long ago, Tim Cook said how they (Apple) like
competition. Err.. excuse me. How exactly can there be competition if you
are suing everyone who's product is even the slightest similar to yours?
Does not compute.

Quote:
In January 2007 Research In Motion, creators of the BlackBerry handhelds, filed suit in United States federal court claiming the BlackJack trademark was too similar to the BlackBerry mark.[6] They allege Samsung has named their smartphone with a word beginning with "Black" just to mislead the customers that would come to the cellphone stores with the intention to purchase a BlackBerry. A month later the two parties settled out of court.[7] In January 2008, Rogers Wireless and Fido Solutions released the Blackjack II in Canada under the name Jack.
So when you all planning to switch to Linux?

So maybe other companies are indeed no paragons of virtue.
