By issuing cease and desist orders for the use of the word Pod (note Pod, not iPod), Apple is earning its reputation as a tyrant.  What a shame, particularly since it had done such great work plugging itself into the social media community.

For your consideration, here are just some of the brands with Pod in their name that predate the 2001 release of Apple’s iPod:

• The Pod Caravan
• P.O.D.
• The Pod Camera Platforms
• Line6 Pod
• Portable On Demand Storage

If they keep it up, I may put tape over their logo on my laptop.
