There's no harm in asking, but this is egregious. Apple does not have any rights to "POD" at this time and its questionable that they ever will. POD is a common insurance abbreviation for Pay on Death. It's probably on every U.S. Savings Bond but certainly on the ones I have. Ed is right about vigorously defending a legitimate trademark. Too bad Apple doesn't have one. Bad Apple.
