One Down, One to Go

Apple Inc. (the one that makes iPods and Macs) and Apple Corps Ltd. (the one that the Beatles founded) have finally worked out their differences and come to an agreement with regards to the use of their apple names and apple logos.

Apple Inc. (the computer one!) now owns the rights to pretty much everything Apple-related and will license certain trademarks to Apple Corps (the Beatles one!). Apparently this has the Mac rumors crowd in a frenzy because they think it (along with Steve Jobs showing the iPhone playing "Lovely Rita" at Macworld) means Apple Inc. will start selling Beatles music through the iTunes Music Store.

The New York Times article from which most of the information I used to write this post came is pretty informative, with the exception of this part:

The Beatles are considered the last major holdout from online downloading services like iTunes. Today, Beatles fans can play Beatles music on an iPod only by transferring the songs from a CD.

Please. Did they start selling Zeppelin tunes and not tell me about it?
