The logo in question:Apple, fresh from a patent victory against South Korean rival Samsung, has turned its sights on a smaller target - Polish online grocery website A.pl.

It was a logo they used a little while back. They stopped using it even before Apple sued.GreyWolf wrote:So I went to the a.pl site. I did not see this logo anywhere... ***** is going on?

You know what they say about karma. Would like more things to come out the woodwork. Not to destroy apple but to get this rediculous patent thing to fall apart.
