But what is the reason behind the Apple name and Apple logo? Is it really the forbidden (bitten) apple? Why does everything made by them have an "i" before it? Is it coz it sounds like "eye" - dajjal?

eyeMac, eyePod, eyePad, eyePhone

Hmm, conspiracies... I'm sure iRizMalek can shed some light on it?

It started with iMac, which was named for it's easy access to the Internet at a time when other computers required rather elaborate set ups. Apple discovered that there was an element of "coolness" in the name & used it for other products & software (iTunes, or iPhoto,the photo program bundled with Mac software, for instance.)

According to Wired, a guy who helps companies name products "said the name is a stroke of genius: It is simple, memorable and, crucially, it doesn't describe the device, so it can still be used as the technology evolves, even if the device's function changes. He noted the 'i' prefix has a double meaning: It can mean 'internet,' as in 'iMac,"' or it can denote the first person: 'I,' as in me."

According to the same article, Vinnie Chieco, the guy who came up with the name iPod" kept thinking about Steve Jobs strategy that "The Mac is a hub, or central connection point, for a host of gadgets." So

I'm joking. I liked the iphone for about a week or two as well, I remember the warm feelings.

So the whole forbidden apple is a myth then. The apple is a reference to Newton discovering 'gravity' by an apple falling on his head and giving him a PHD.

I honestly feel for all those who have iphones. I had it for 2 years and it never felt like I have a device I can actually make use of for the good. I had the android for only a day and realised the potential. Open source means so much. If only everyone would realise.
