boo @ apple. lame move. doesnt even look like thier logo.

WTF. This is just stupid...

Seriously Apple? That looks more like a tightened Wegman's logo than anything related to that evil company.

Maybe Apple should change their name/logo entirely since they don't actually sell any fruit. Grocery store customers might get confused. >< /sarcasm.

Oh let them keep the logo. They aren't that similar.

@ Apple: What an asshole, that logo for the grocery store doesn't even look close to what Apple uses for their logo. Apple = money grubbing whores.

Apple is really grasping for straws this year aren't they, their stocks must be flat lining this year.

I say thats more of a pumpkin...lol

Sad move there Apple...truly pathetic.

Clearly Apple cares for it's fanboys
It knows they are dumb

clearly apple cares for it's fanboys-they know they are dumb

Looks more like a swirl to me... The apple logo is an apple with a bite taken out of it. I would hardly call the two logos similar enough for a lawsuit.

Apple: In this economy i'd try to keep/gain customers instead of chasing them away with your bad business practices. This is just sad.

WOW.

First a college and now a grocery store??!?! Apple needs to die, slowly and painfully.

This is like the last damn straw. This officially makes Apple scum.

Next thing you know is that Apple is suing Apple farmers for violating their trademark rights.

Apple doesn't give humanity much credit, do they? Some people probably couldn't tell you the address of the White House or who wrote the Declaration of Independence, but I'm sure they could identify the Apple logo in a group of logos even if the Woolworths logo was in the group.

What about the Apple Records logo? It's a freakin Apple! Oh, Apple already lost that battle. Ha! Good luck with this one, jerks.

don't believe everything you hear, go read the real truth about this here:
http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/05 [...] ia-in-hys/

basically apple is NOT suing Woolworths and woolworths is using the media.

apple is so utterly pathetic. they are just bunch of spoiled little brats.

so what about the label "Apple" owened by the beattles? showldn´t apple computers stop selling music? don´t star crying about some one elses uses an apple in their logo.

Just now realizing this? All it takes it looking at Apple's track record since the mid 80s to realize that they've always been like this. Why do you think Microsoft has a monopoly like it has today? It wasn't because their product was better, it was because they allowed for free development unlike Apple that wanted everyone that developed for the Mac to pay an upfront fee and give Apple royalties.

I dont see how it has anything to do with Apple, I could see it having something to do with apples....but its a grocery store...does Appl really think they own the right to have an apple in everything????

Of course, heartless bastards usually think they own everything.

Heartless bastards and wayward teens (70% of teens today).

This case will take all but 10 seconds to win with an $8 lawyer. Hold up picture of Woolsworth logo, hold up picture of all Apple logos. Done, case closed.

Maybe if their logo was the same color, and looked like an apple, then they might have a point...

This one time, I bought some fruit not realizing it wasn't an ipod. Totally ruined my headphones when I jammed the stereo jack in the side of that Red Delicious. I, for one, am actually quite happy that Apple is making sure this won't happen to anyone again.

The post that I have quoted contains 90% pure awesome and 10% epic win.

Just think, there are people out there making at least six figures that do nothing more than scan recent applications to trademark offices for anything that might conflict with Apple's brand. Man, how I would love a cushy, do-nothing job like that. Best part is, when you make a stupid decision like protest against a grocery store or sue a school, it's the company that looks like the idiot, and you just keep on doing your job like nothing happened.

What the hell is wrong with you apple.
it not even like your and they sell FOOD not computer or mp3 players.
PLease Please someone who know Steve Jobs.... slap him in the head for me. I'll take the credit

Is anybody really surprised? Microsoft is way more benevolent than Apple ever has been. Bill/Melinda Gates have helped way more people than Jobs ever will. I'm not a true fan of either, but have always known Apple to act in this way.

I clicked this article expecting to see a logo extremely similar to Apples, but it's nothing alike. I don't at all understand this lawsuit.

bad move Apple, it looks nothing like your logo and sorry, everytime I see a picture of hear the word of Apple, I dont thing Apple Computers.

I knew they sucked when they sued a college, but a GROCERY STORE?!?! That's like robbing some dirt poor african kid in kenya.

Basically they have went from:
Decent -> steals money from the rich -> steals money from poor businesses.
