Quote:
Thanks to the Beatles and a three-year-old lawsuit filed on behalf of their Apple Corps company, Apple Computer could find itself in a bit of a pickle if things don't quite go their way in a London, England High Court this week.
Apple Corps Ltd. — a company founded in 1968 and still owned by Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, as well as the heirs of deceased Beatles John Lennon And George Harrison — is suing Apple Computer once again, this time over its iPod devices and accompanying iTunes music delivery service.
Whatever the result, it looks like the trial, which begins on Wednesday, is going to be an interesting and unprecedented one. The judge who will be hearing the case, the Honorable Mr. Justice Mann, has already asked both sides whether they feel he should disqualify himself.
But why would he fathom doing such a thing, you might ask?
Why else?
He owns an iPod.

Let me tell you how it will be
There’s one for you, nineteen for me
’cause I’m the taxman, yeah, I’m the taxman
Should five per cent appear too small
Be thankful I don’t take it all
’cause I’m the taxman, yeah I’m the taxman
If you drive a car, I’ll tax the street,
If you try to sit, I’ll tax your seat.
If you get too cold I’ll tax the heat,
If you take a walk, I’ll tax your feet.
Don’t ask me what I want it for
If you don’t want to pay some more
’cause I’m the taxman, yeah, I’m the taxman
Now my advice for those who die
Declare the pennies on your eyes
’cause I’m the taxman, yeah, I’m the taxman
And you’re working for no one but me
