I didn't know this till my maths teacher went off on his usual rant but for once he actually told us something interesting:To cut a long rant short:The Apple logo which features a bite in it is inspired from Alan Turing's method of suicide. Alan Turing is most famous for designing a computer called the Enigma machine which was crucial for deciphering the German's secret codes during WW1. If it wasn't for the invention of this Enigma machine they say the war gone of gone the other way and caused much more loss of life, damage etc. Anyway Alan Turing was a homosexual, which was greatly frowned upon in his day and due to a lng bout of depression he (don't ask me why) injected some cyanide into an apple and took a bite, which of course fatally poisoned him.Anyway the story goes he was found with a half eaten apple next to his bedside in the morning when he was discovered dead.I just found this pretty interesting and for once, out maths teacher redeemed himself.
