Steve Jobs is dead.

Never heard this about the logo before…

it’s an homage to Alan Turing, who was a mathematician and computer scientist. He killed himself by taking a bite of an apple laced with cyanide. He was rumoured to be homosexual, and back then it wasn’t accepted at all, and that was one of the reasons for his suicide. The original apple logo was rainbow color, a bitten rainbow color apple… for Turing, one of the greatest computer scientists of history.

that actually make a lot of sense about the old apple logo, neat to know

EDIT: from wikipedia

The logo of Apple computer is often erroneously referred to as a tribute to Alan Turing, with the bite mark a reference to his method of suicide.[70] Both the designer of the logo[71] and the company deny that there is any homage to Turing in the design of the logo.[72]

^That was the first car I ever purchased. lol

With over $80billion in cash the bonus this year should be about $10million per employee. CHA-CHING.

“I’m afraid it didn’t have a thing to do with it,” he said. “It’s a wonderful urban legend.”

Janoff says that he received no specific brief from Steve Jobs, and although he’s hazy about how he settled on the simple outline of an apple, the reason for the bite is crystal clear: it’s there for scale, he says, so that a small Apple logo still looks like an apple and not a cherry.

Wow the suicide story fit so well that I believed it. But this explanation makes sense.
