"The Beatles have sued Apple three times in the past thirty years and have won twice. Ultimately, Apple had to pay almost $20 million for the right to use the Apple name to sell computers (even if they have music editing capabilities). A suit filed in 2004 granted Apple the right to use the Apple name, even though it was now active in the music industry, agreeing with Apple's arguement that only a "moron in a hurry" would mistake the Beatles for Apple."

A new article by the talented Tom Hormby at The Mac Observer. It begins:
"Apple has managed to survive and even thrive despite some very bad leaders, products and financial results over the years. The company has survived because of a few stellar products, alliances and business decisions. In my opinion, these are the top five that allowed Apple to survive the past thirty years. Without them, Apple would not exist as we know the company today."
