Haven't these problems already been solved by large-scale cloud providers? Sure, hurricanes take out datacenters for diesel, but Google runs racks with dead nodes until it hit's a percentage where it makes sense to 'roll the truck' so-to-speak and get a tech onsite to repair the racks.

Okay, this is getting out of hand.

Please realize that Apple has to defend it's trademark. This means that Apple will ALWAYS file claims against anything resembling an apple, the word apple, the color red- anything that could even be slightly related to an apple.

Want to know why? Because if someone DOES actually create a trademark that's very close to theirs, and in court it's shown that they didn't respond to any other trademarks, they could lose the trademark altogether.

Straight from Wikipedia:
"Unlike patents and copyrights, which in theory are granted for one-off fixed terms, trademarks remain valid as long as the owner actively uses and defends them and maintains their registrations with the applicable jurisdiction's trademarks office."

So, this is really meaningless. It will get thrown out. But Apple has to defend their trademark ALL the time, or else when it's truly threatened in court, they could lose it.
