Why "Apple" 

How does such a common, everyday word such as "apple" represent such a successful computer company? Where did it come from? The answer, quite interesting, is revealed in Steve Jobs' biography. The name was actually created by none other than mastermind Steve Jobs himself, of course. Apparently, Jobs had spent some time working on apple orchards in Oregon, which inspired the name. He liked its simplicity as well as the "fun, spirited, and not intimidating" aspect. The original logo was actually an image of Isaac Newton sitting under an apple tree, referencing his theory of gravitation.
