What does the Apple logo mean? There doesn't seem to exist any satisfying answer anywhere... May is it a reference to Newton or to the forbidden fruit in the 'Garden of Eden' with the bite taken out of it...

But here is the actual answer from Jobs himself: "When I explain the real reason why I did the bite it's kind of a let down. But I'll tell you. I designed it with a bite for scale, so people get that it was an apple not a cherry."

Did Jobs explicitly say that this answer was not the good one? Does anybody really know the real reason? His answer was a good way to skip the boring question, because he is smart enough to have two answers to it.

The real reason was too obvious for him, and he only wished people would figure it out by themselves. Well I think I did. The bitten apple simply means that a computer should be so easy to use that one can still work with it while eating an apple. Nothing more.

But Jobs never gave up, and used to strike his famous hand pose, for us to get it. He was so sad nobody could possibly understand that he was actually saying: "By the way, while working on my computer, I can stroke my beard too."
