In the spirit of Pride, heres some more rainbow trivia. Do you know why there is a bite taken out of Apples apple? I didnt know that and Im touched by this tribute. I feel like hugging my MacBook. Heres a quick translation for my non-French-reading friends. … The brilliant Alan Turing, British inventor of the first computer, was the only one who figured out how to decipher the Nazi’s secret code—without this, the Allies would have lost the Battle of the Atlantic. A hero beyond measure. But he was gay, and it was a criminal offence. The British justice system condemned him to chemical castration. Desperate, he committed suicide in 1954, at the age of 42, by eating an apple poisoned with cyanide, like Snow White, whom he adored. When founding Apple, Jobs and Wozniak paid tribute to Turing with their apple (rainbow, symbol of the gay movement), with the fatal bite taken out of it.
