I'm fine with nobody else being able to sell an apple computer. AAPL's repeated stepping on the Beatles' record label and holding company called Apple's trademarks were pretty heinous though (so far as trademark abuses go) until they were resolved by AAPL buying out the trademark completely for perhaps half a billion dollars in 2007. The whole purpose of a trademark is being able to own the name of your product so nobody else can pretend to be you and confuse/steal/defraud your customers. That doesn't mean that AAPL can stop anybody from selling fruit or calling a completely unrelated product something apple related.
