Ruh roh, Raggy, the lawsuits are flyin' again — Apple is now after Thought Out, a company with a line of iPod
accessories under the name "iPed." Apple's attack hounds lawyers sent a letter to the company
yesterday, saying that the line of iPed iPod stands (pictured, right) "could confuse consumers." Thought Out says the
name is derived from the word "pedestal," as in, an altar upon which to place your little white god. They're holding a
neutral stance on how to respond to the order. Well, maybe there is a silent minority of folks somewhere rushing out to
pick up these iPeds and being very confused when they realize that iPod stands themselves don't actually make any
sounds. Maybe. But dude, Apple, you gotta know this is such
bad karma.
#27 "The i-names started with the iMac and i originally stood for internet because he iMac was really easy to get on the internet.."
Ohhh that's why? That makes sense, it was sooooo hard to make it happen before Apple came along.
If you had trouble getting online you're a moron.
Question: Can Apple make a superior computer out of the same components that PC "dreck" makers use?
Question: Will Mac fans still be happy when they finally realize that this represents the FOURTH complete trashing of their computer investment by caveat by Steve?
Fact: Lawsuits--the last gasp of a dying company.
Half PC half Mac. Like half herpies. Half AIDS. Half dead.
Did you notice Intel stock has FALLEN since the announcement?

You say, "Fact: Lawsuits -- the last gasp of a dying company"
While it might be true that a dying company usually files at lawsuit at the end, it's certainly not true that all companies who file lawsuits are dying.
Also, it should be obvious that Apple's financial health is much, much better than it was 4-5 years ago... So "dying" certainly isn't the right word.
