What do these boys mean, the farmer went on, claiming they own a picture of an apple with a bite out of it? Gesturing to his acres of apple blossoms, he continued, My father started this here apple orchard over a hundred years ago, and weve had a picture of an apple with a bite out of it on the side of our roadside farm stand for nigh onto seventy-five years. As far as Im concerned, these Silicon Valley slickers have infringed on my copyright and on the rights of apple growers everywhere. Apple CEO Steve Jobs responded, I hope we can put this suit behind us, because weve always loved apple farmers. In all honesty, I admit we didnt invent an apple with a bite taken out of it. Its one of our least original ideas. Thats why we always have to defend it. If I had it to do over again, I would have picked a more unusual fruit, like a Kiwi or maybe a Start fruit. The farmer was not pacified, insisting, When I get done with these cagy fellers, theyll be sorry they ever set eyes on an apple. |
