@neil@mastodon.neilzone.co.uk I mean... You probably couldn't start a software company called Apple, either.

@Gargron@mastodon.social @neil@mastodon.neilzone.co.uk the word “Apple” at least has nothing to do with computing, but “automatic” is already widely used in the industry.
I don’t think they will be able to do it, not even in the US.
