The apple in Apple refers to the (likely apophrycal) story of Newton sitting
underneath the apple tree at his parents' estate and being inspired to
formulate the Universal Law of Gravitation after being hit on the head with
an apple.  Apparently, early versions of the Apple logo consisted of Newton
sitting underneath a tree with an apple beside him.
