grammatical number - Why do they use "Apple are" instead of "Apple is"?

Examples taken from OMG Ubuntu:





  • Apple are expected to finally give a release date for OS X Mavericks,
    the latest update to their desktop operating system at an event
    today.


  • For Mavericks Apple are adding even more functionality.






Why do they use are instead of is?
