Granny Smith - Apple has bought the logo and trademark for Apple Corps, the Beatles' company. If we're not careful, we'll one day wake up to find Apple has bought the rights to actual apples, and all the apple trees in the world have been relocated to Cupertino. You'll be able to buy an Apple Fruit™ but it'll cost you £500 or £36 a month on a 32 month financing deal. [Patently Apple]

The Inquirer popped to Currys and PC World on Oxford Street at lunchtime today and was told they were yet to sell a single Windows 8 device. [Inquirer]
Page turner - Despite the rise of tablets, smartphones, notebooks and, yknow, the internet, over two million pages were printed in Europe, the Middle East and Africa every minute in 2011, according to IDC. RIP trees. [PR]
