Adam and Eve

• Forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden
• Some translators probably named it as Apple
  (since it is common)
• Adam’s Apple
  Present in both men and women
  Significantly larger in men

Sir Isaac Newton

• Anecdote
  Apple falling on Newton’s head lead to the discovery of the “Law of Gravitation”
• Fact
  Newton was in an orchard, but no apple fell on his head.
• Newton saw an apple fall in front of him.
  He probably asked himself, “Apples fall to the ground. Why doesn’t the Moon fall to the Earth?”
  

Beatles

• Founded the company “Apple Corps” in UK to publish and distribute their music.
• Used Granny Smith (an apple variety) as the Logo.
• Sued “Apple Computer” for violation of Trademark.

Steve Jobs

• Founded the company “Apple Computer Inc.”
• Supposedly came up with the name “Apple” after visiting an orchard.
• Some believe “Apple” was chosen since it wanted to be listed at the head of the Yellow Pages.
  “Atari” was the first entry at that time.
• Settled the law suit partly because the Judge thought that the two names are from different domains.
• Several decades later, due to Convergence, Beatles’ music was offered on iTunes.
  
• Apple later manufactured “Mac” (short for Macintosh).
• It is a misspelling — intentional or unintentional — of McIntosh (a well known variety of apple).
