Exhibit A, Woolworths newly redesigned logo, is on the left. Apple's iconic apple logo is on the right. Not that similar at all, but the real issue, at least with Apple, is probably that Woolworths might expand its retail business into electronics and somehow threaten that lucrative iPod business.

"While we can't rule [computers, musical players, or other devices] out, we haven't got any plans at the moment," said a Woolworths spokesman in a statement to AppleInsider.

To Apple's credit, they've moved up from suing school systems to supermarket megachains. Bigger fish, and all that. [AppleInsider]

<![CDATA[HD DVD Also Falling in Europe]]> After outselling HD DVD 10 to 1, one of the UK's major retailers has decided to go all Blu-ray and eliminate the sadly ill-fated format from their stores this March. With HD DVD's lousy sales and Blu-ray numbers increasing about 40% every month, Woolworths say it's over. According to them: "Sales figures clearly show that the market is moving towards one format of high definition DVD. The main reason is the success of Sony's PlayStation 3."
