Apple’s Slate has finally come out in the form of the iPad. It really looks like a bit of a disappointment at first glance, as it looks like a scaled-up iPhone, and at second and third glance, it turns out that that is all it is. It’s a big iPhone. It’s got the GPS, the compass, the Wi-Fi, the iPod, the Safari and even the OS of the iPhone. It’s an iPhone with a 9.7 inch display. It does look cool though…

Can you pick the difference between these two logos? Someone, apparently, couldn’t. Computer giant Apple is threatening legal action against the supermarket chain Woolworths over their new logo. The new woolworths logo (on the left) is, according to woolworths, a “stylized ‘w’ or a piece of fresh produce”. Apple disagrees. They’re launching a claim insisting that the Woolworths logo is too similar. It’s not surprising, given the recent venture by woollies into mobile phones, that Apple is concerned about their territory. But seriously Apple! I didn’t even see the resemblance until you pointed it out, and even now I don’t think the two logos are anything alike! Are Woolworths loosing any sleep over this? I think not.

Also, it looks like this isn’t the first time Apple’s got in a bother about their logo:
