ideas & influence
I’ve read that bill gates, the founder of apple has as logo an eaten apple. We know that turing killed himself with a poisoned apple, so some people think bill gates took this logo to honor turing because he made the first computer. However we can’t be sure of that because the apple’s fondator died.**
