Apple Threatens Bistro Over "AppleADay" Name

[w1z4rd]

"In today's edition of David v. Goliath, Apple lawyers have sent cease and desist letters to a tiny health food restaurant in Luxembourg named AppleADay. For their part, the owners of AppleADay, with help from a lawerly friend, have promised that they would continue to sell only food, not computers. Of course, Apple knows as well as anyone that promises are made to be broken, having famously promised Apple Corps, the Beatles' production company, they would never get into the music business."

This is pretty disgusting bullying tactics from Apple. Seriously now, stop being a bunch of ****ers already.

No legal action, you will just have to pay royalties for every apple you eat

Some good news http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/11/02/apple_loses/ hopefully it goes the same way for the other companies with tablets/phones.

I commend Apple for knowing where Luxembourg is.

Apple is the devil.

 

[Sl8er]

waiting for the usual apple brigade to pitch up and defend this...as per usual....

 

[Avenue]

I rate these are just scare tactics. I dont believe it will go anywhere- provided the small company doesn't go bankrupt while trying to defend it.

+1 to everyone elses comments- Apple and Microsoft are all a bunch of plicks.

 

[Mbuzi]

Appl.. is just crazy! ommitted the e on purpose - don't want to be sued for using the word

 

[grok]

I particularly like this comment in the link

Just because Steve Jobs is dead doesn't mean Apple is all out of azzholes.

 

[noxibox]

Apple - Guys, Steve's dead, you can stop acting like megalomaniacal pricks.
