More Beatles vs. Apple Speculation
Today, DotMusic.com revived speculation on the Beatles vs. Apple.
Some of it appears to be based on older information, with references to the rumors of Apple acquiring Universal Music.
The article does claim, however, that "Apple is now having meetings with the Apple Corp. Company that controls Apple Records with regard to their continuing ambitions for the iPod and iTunes line of their business."
According to the site, this information is based on a Fox News report.
Update: The article referenced was an old (June 3rd, 2003) article.

Apple records pulled this stunt when Apple computer was first created. they reached an agreement that apple computer could use the name as long as they never produced audio/music equipment. when the first macs with microphones shipped, they included the "sosumi" sound.
Apple records needs to give it a rest. i didn't even know it was around any more. they should be looking forward to the publicity they'll get when people accidentally stop by their site instead of apple.com, or perhaps that's the entire motive behind this move...

I think Steve Jobs should buy Apple Records and, while he's at it, Michael Jackson's rights to the Beatle's catalog. I'll chip in a dollar, Steve.

Love the Beatles, but I must say that I'm a little tired of these antics. Nobody cares about the name, Apple Records. They care about the studio at Abbey Lane.

now that would be something if SJ ewre to go to MJ's house to negotiate for the rights to the beatles songs, but wouldn't having the rights to the beatles songs make the beatles even more pissed?

I don't get the big deal. Apple Computers and Apple Records are different names. Just like Sony and Sony Ericsson.
