Entirely different.  If this is the Apple Records who has some of the
Beatles stuff I believe, supposedly they and the then Apple, now
Macintosh Inc. made some kind of unwritten deal that Apple Records
wouldn't sue them for using their name, and I think the apple symbol,
as long as Apple didn't infringe upon *their* territory, namely music.
When the GS came along with it's Ensoniq chip, virtually a small
synthesizer, they were develing into the music world, and Apple
Records sued em.  Pretty lame eh?  I heard they settled out of court.
