Apple: an 'App Store' Is Not a Store For Apps 279
recoiledsnake writes "What would be your first guess about what an app store sells? Don't be fooled, Apple warns, the phrase 'app store' is not generic and can only be used to describe Cupertino's... um, app store? 'Apple denies that, based on their common meaning, the words "app store" together denote a store for apps,' Apple said in a Thursday filing with a California district court. All this notwithstanding that Jobs himself used the phrase generically while referring to Android app stores. We've previously discussed this ongoing legal battle."

"App store" is short for "Apple store"! Of *course* nobody else can use it! Not even if they're selling actual fruit!

Maybe Apple needs a Kleenex(tm) to cry into and a Band-Aid(tm) to make it all better...

We can tell racist jokes. It is physically possible. It is also physically possible to eat dog shit, punch a pregnant lady in the stomach, and stab a baby. Those things are only slightly less repugnant than telling racist jokes. However, we can still tell jokes about assholes like you. Did you hear the one about the racist that got shot in the face? Yeah, that's the punchline, you are supposed to laugh now.
