Steve Wozniak Shares How the Name "Apple" Came About

Alan Turing killed himself by eating a bite of poisoned apple...

Can someone transcribe loosely for the video-disabled?

Steve Job's was working at a farm and someone gave him the idea of Apple Computers. Then, years later, Steve Wozniak was on Dancing With The Stars and met the brother of the person who gave him that name. Wozniak also thinks that the lawsuit from Apple Records was wrong because Apple Computers was not a musical device.

Isn't that the origin of the "sosume" ("so sue me") sound? I thought I remembered that it came about because they were sort of turning around and adding musical ability to something that didn't have it before.

But now we've come full circle, with them offering Beatles songs on iTunes (Apple Records was the label for the Beatles).

Lesson being? Sometimes losing some is winning a lot in the long run.

Hmm, I always thought it came from the Beatles' record company.

The point being, it might just fall in your lap, or be super random.

Or, you know, fall on your head.
