The Onion: Apple Claiming The Term "Pod"
"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"
    Of course, this seems like a perfect time to thrown in a long absent Friday Random Ten from the 'ol iPod:
    1. Caring Is Creepy (The Shins)
    2. Don't Phunk With My Heart (Black Eyed Peas)
    3. Juicebox (The Strokes)
    4. Walk Idiot Walk (The Hives)
    5. Paralyzed (Rock Kills Kid
    6. Empty Room (Marjorie Fair)
    7. Hump de Bump (Red Hot Chilli Peppers)
    8. Mrs. Robinson (The Lemonheads)
    9. 15 Beers Ago (Deaf Pedestrians)
    10. Eye On You (Rocket from the Crypt & Holly Golightly)
