iPieorgies?

What are Polish groceries?

Subby forgot "Lower-case i's", I see.

I think I get their outlook. Steve Jobs is dead, so they maybe have 5 years max of good ideas that he left them with. After that they have to survive on royalties and suing competitors for any profits.

Mmmm....pierogies...

So what's the hip new company now if Apple is going the way of a big evil corporation? Is it cool now to buy that Microsoft tablet when it comes out?

Fark Apple.

It's fascinating to watch, really.

These young, left-leaning, hipster, types are out there. They shout at how evil corporations, Wall Street, and the 1% are. They protest.

Yet, when another iGadget comes out, they'll be first in line to buy it at any price, completely oblivious to the atrocities of Apple.

They got all that money laying around.. might as well employ some lawyers instead of make their product competitive.

Android is currently leaving iOS in the dust and they know it.

a.pl is a perl file

Polskis reported replying with - "Jack shiat and go fark yourselves"

I'm gonna say this is a hoax. Easily believable, but still outrageous.

Just gotta wait and see...

Oh another Apple hate thread, cool. At least it will give the Fandroids something to do with their day.

/that being said this lawsuit is stupid.

Their legal department really does seem to be off its meds lately. What ever happened to the idea that Bad PR is Bad?

Big guy picking on little guy. Where have I seen this before?

Apple to sue Motts in 3... 2... 1...

austin_millbarge: Oh another Apple hate thread, cool. At least it will give the Fandroids something to do with their day.

Seems to me it'll be equally amusing/diverting for the Church of Jobs devotees. Everyone loves a Blasphemer, after all.

No, they are not trademarking the letters A, P, and L. Subby doesn't understand how trademarks work.

Grapple: What ever happened to the idea that Bad PR is Bad?

I think it was supplanted by the notion that there's no such thing as bad publicity some time ago.

Saw Network World, because suspicious. Saw BuzzBlog, stopped reading.

Come on Google, just fire up the Death Star that is Motorola Mobility patents and take Apple out.

/damn Google for being all friendly, nice, and selling/licensing those patents to actual hardware manufacturers

Mad Tea Party: No, they are not trademarking the letters A, P, and L. Subby doesn't understand how trademarks work.

LOL...wut?

Hint:

To be clear btw, I think the case is frivolous and asinine, but the headline is still terrible.

Watch your back, Fiona...

Seriously... Apple.. people are getting wise to your bullshiat.

fark Apple

h2ogate: APL has been around since 1964, well before Apple ever existed.

The first programming language I learned was APL. When I was 14, Dad had an IBM 5100 at home and helped me learn it.
/Get Off My Lawn fires a warning shot over Cool Story Bro's head

but i thought 'Pieczywo' was Polish for airpad, and i was getting a really great deal, and all the pictures of food were some weird marketing thing that i would probably understand if i watched commercials on tv.

SAVE ME, APPLE COMPUTER!

Dupe...

But that said, it doesn't look like this is over the letters a.pl, but over an icon:
The Polish patent office said on Tuesday the U.S. maker of the iPad, iPhone and iPod had filed a complaint, accusing the website of copying one of Apple's icons to its logo and riding its coattails to win customers.

"Apple brand is widely recognized and the company says that A.pl, by using the name that sounds similar, is using Apple's reputation," patent office spokesman Adam Taukert said.

A.pl chief executive Radoslaw Celinski said: "The accusation is ludicrous." The firm, which is not currently using the logo in question, is looking at Apple's complaint.

Certainly, Apple can't claim trademark rights in the letters. The word "Apple," possibly, as well as a sound-alike, but only within their industry. But if - and this is pure speculation since the website screenshot in the article doesn't use the accused logo - if the logo used Apple's apple-silhouette-with-a-bite icon, then it could be infringing.

Now I want some pierogi.

It's posted in the other article in the business tab:


Eh. Maybe the stylized leaf, but other than that, I don't see much similarity. I don't think it's close enough that consumers would be confused.

If they moved the "fresh" to center so that there wasn't even a suggestion of a bite, that would be even better for them.

CravenMorehead: Fark Apple.

It's been done.

Says the Sheepapple posting on Fark.

There's an a in my name. I claim prior usage.

Microsoft has copyright on 0's and 1's

Don't lump us young, left-leaning people together please. I'm typing this on a Windows/Linux PC and my phone is a Droid.

Does it also have patents on the letters R, E, P, E, A, T? because that's exactly what this is

F*ck apple in their cocksucking douchebag asses.

Honestly, how f*cking low can a company sink? They look incredibly pathetic.

Even my wife, who swore by her iPhone, has moved on to the Galaxy S3, and she's having much more fun than she did with her buggy, freezing, iPieceofshiat.

Apple needs to be careful, the samsung case made sense but if they keep patenting and suing everybody they are going to fall out of favor quick. The biggest thing going for them isn't their products it's their image, people think it's cool to own apple. It's a logo people associate with class, good taste, being cool, etc. If they continue down this route they are going to fall out of favor with the public and despite having a great product people wouldn't want to buy something that shows a logo everyone dislikes.

Everyone loves seeing the underdog win, a david vs goliath type deal. If they start stomping on the little guy they are going to fall out of favor very fast
