Yes, Virginia, there is an Apple legal department

Here's the situation. A young girl (3rd grade) has ideas on how Apple can improve her iPod. So, she writes a letter expressing her ideas as a class project, and sends it off to 1 Infinite Loop. She received a reply...from Apple legal. The letter stated that Apple does not accept or appreciate unsolicited product ideas with all the warmth and humanity that you would expect from the legal department of a billion dollar company. I don't know what this girl's teacher expected to happen, but I'm guessing it wasn't this.

Apple has since apologized to the girl and is now thinking of implementing a new policy for interacting with kids.
