Apple Computers is laying legal claim to the term "pod," used in words like "podcast." Here are some other items Apple is trying to claim as its own:
Human silhouettes
Several thousand Chinese children
Thinking differently
The last slice of pizza
The term "tunes"
Any Granny Smith with a bite taken out of it
The concept of sharing
The pronoun "I"; Effective immediately Apple will collect royalties from anyone referring to oneself in this manner |

Kind of makes my iPod (here's my royalties, Apple!) a little less interesting. Guess they're trying to protect their interests. |
