The Apple Core: Apple targets adult products named "Pod"
It's no secret that Apple is clamping down on the term "Pod." Lawyers from everyone's favorite fruit company have gone after Web sites, products and magazines using the term "Pod" in their name. Who does Apple council have in their cross hairs next? Adult toy manufacturers.
