MS and Apple in court (not with each other)

[Redfraggle]

Microsoft suing Barnes and Noble and Apple suing Amazon.

Microsoft claims violation of patents and refusal of licenses by B&N and related companies producing Nook and Android. They've also asked that imports of the Nook be stopped. This may really suck for a bit.

Apple is just being bitchy over the use of the phrase "app store" claiming people will be confused and mislead. I'd like to ask what kind of idiot would be confused, but then I remember the kind of person that makes up the general public.

You mean, the same apple that stole 'iphone' from Cisco Systems? Heck... why not take ' ios ' too. Why not?

Perhaps we should consider ourselves lucky to be able to eat apples. We could have to call them their full latin names. I mean, I could get confused and try to eat my Apple Macbook!

(I have two Macs, but I still think this lawsuit is rather ridiculous.)
