- rimliu 7y agoDefine "stole".
- finnthehuman 7y agoBorrow, appropriate, copy, create a similar mark somewhere near the boundary of trademark infringement. Are we still riding the ghost of his dick so hard that parent poster can't use colloquial language?
- wizardforhire 7y agoSpeaking of colloquialisms can we please call this phenomenon ghost ride the dick.
- rimliu 7y agoThe poster can use whatever language they want. I just wonder, how does that apply.
- choxi 7y agoI knew about the Apple Corp and the trademark issues with Apple, but somehow I didn't know The Beatles owned Apple Corp (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Corps https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Corps). I heard a rumor the other day that the company name "Apple" comes from Alan Turing's method of suicide. Appropriating it from The Beatles seems more likely now.
- sysbin 7y agoAlan Turing lived in an era where being murdered was arguably more probable for him than suicide (hard to know what happened). The name Apple being derived from the death of Turing is unlikely nonetheless.
