I 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.
