Harmonix lead designer Dan Teasdale gave out a few of details about the sequel to Rock Band (Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii). Want to find out what he had to say? Then scoot on over to the full article by clicking on the "read more" link below.

Speaking words of wisdom: let it be, let it be. Well, we do hope it will be - because if recent news holds out, we just might get a Beatles release for Rock Band or Guitar Hero (maybe for both games, if Lucy's diamonds shine down on us just right) - just like how Aerosmith got their own version for Guitar Hero. Back in March, ATV Music (in partnership with Sony) already expressed interest in bringing the Fab Four's music to GH. Recent accounts, however, report that a deal may finally be settled in the coming weeks.

What if we told you that the legendary band The Beatles will soon be gracing your preferred consoles via the franchise Guitar Hero? Nothing is set in stone yet but the company which owns the copyrights to Beatles music said that they want a game dedicated to the band. More on this after the jump!

If you were looking forward to purchasing your favorite Beatles song on iTunes, there's a chance you might have to wait a bit longer. Apple Inc has dismissed rumors that a Beatles catalog will be appearing on the iTunes store - they didn't outright deny that this will happen though. Details in the full article.

So the rumored Beatles-to-iTunes is already old stuff? Not so, that is, if you want to believe Sir Paul McCartney himself. You can't buy them love, but over at iTunes, you just might be able to buy yourself some Beatles love. More details after the jump.

The Beatles are going to space! Or at least, one of their songs. To celebrate the 45th anniversary of NASA's Deep Space Network, the 50th anniversary of NASA, and the 40th anniversary of the Beatles' song "Across the Universe," NASA will be broadcasting the tune to Polaris, the North Star. It's really poetic, actually. By "it," we mean both the song itself and the act of broadcasting it into space. At any rate, check out the full article for details.

Apparently, the not-so-secret organization known as Apple is passing out private invites to various member of the UK press, asking them to join them on the 18th at the Apple Store at Regent Street in London. As you can see in the image (right), it details the directions on how to reach the appointed meeting place with the RSVP email address and phone number blanked out for privacy measures.

Many people are speculating what exactly this invite entails for the European community. The most common of these are the much awaited release of the UK/European release of the iPhone. This coincides with the fact that the Apple Store on Regent Street is, in fact, the biggest Apple Store in the world and would be the most appropriate place for such a grand unveiling. There was even word of some boxes being kept under lock and key at the store.

Other more unlikely theories include a possible deal with BBC regarding some of their shows being turned over to the iTunes store or even the much overdue arrival of the Beatles classics being made available on the iTunes store.

No one knows for sure exactly why "mum is no longer the word," but we'll have to wait until the aforementioned event comes to pass and see what Apple has in store for their European customers. Keep yourselves in touch as we'll deliver any more updates on the matter as soon as we get them.

Apple's online store iTunes is still lacking one important thing: The Beatles.

As you are all aware, rumors have been going around since time immemorial that the much-loved band will be making its presence felt there. The last one of which was the alleged Valentine's Day gift to fans but it's already May and no "Blackbird" or "Norwegian Wood" made its way to the store.

Anyway, hopes are running high once more as unconfirmed reports state that Paul McCartney's latest album will be available on iTunes as a pre-order next week. Aside from this, the reports added that the Rockstar plans to make his entire back catalog available soon as well.

So what does this has to do with The Beatles aside from the obvious fact that McCartney belonged to that group? Back in April, computer company Apple Corporation and British music label Apple Inc. had already come to terms regarding the use of trademarks whenever necessary.

The settlement stated that the Cupertino-based company can now use the word "Apple" on its products and iconography. Likewise, the music label company is now allowing Apple Corporation to use digitalized content.

In a move to have an amicable settlement between iPod maker Apple Corporation and British music label Apple Inc, the two companies met as equals and fostered a deal which would pave the way for the gadget company to use trademarks when necessary.

The two firms have been embroiled in a dispute for years now and have recently come to terms. Reports say that under the new deal, the California company can now legally use the word "Apple" on its products and iconography whenever needed.

Apple Inc, which handles the rights for proprietary Beatles music, has apparently allowed Apple corporation to use and peddle the digitalized content on its online music store iTunes.

The acts could mean a shift of custodianship as far as the Beatles music is concerned as the Atlantic counterparts sealed the deal through several meetings involving the US Patents and Trademarks Office and lawyer Thomas La Perle. Monetary details on the settlement has not been publicly disclosed so far.

Apple and iPhone trademark">Cisco may have had their share of mudslinging sessions and lawsuits, but in the end, they still got along. Cisco Systems Inc. and Apple Inc. ended their dispute and agreed to share the iPhone brand and Cisco's lawsuit for trademark infringement was also dismissed. Going over the official Apple website, here's what we found out:

Cisco and Apple today announced that they have resolved their dispute involving the "iPhone" trademark. Under the agreement, both companies are free to use the "iPhone" trademark on their products throughout the world.

Both companies acknowledge the trademark ownership rights that have been granted, and each side will dismiss any pending actions regarding the trademark. In addition, Cisco and Apple will explore opportunities for interoperability in the areas of security, and consumer and enterprise communications. Other terms of the agreement are confidential.

With the six-week dispute settled, Apple is now on-track to start selling its iPhone in June. The agreement came a few weeks after Apple ended a long litigation with the Beatles over rights to use the Apple name and logo.
