Turing and the apple.

Posted by free.ranger on December 28, 2014 at 17:55:27:
Don't know how far or deep the movie goes, but 41-year-old Turing took his life after humiliation and estrogen castration for his illegal homosexuality. He ate an apple laced with cyanide.

Urban legend has it that the Apple Inc. logo honors Turing's accomplishment in the computing world. A good story, but denied by the artist who drew up the symbol for Jobs and Wozniak. The familiar bite mark was put in for scale.

This is a fascinating person who is now receiving a lot of post-due consideration and appreciation for his work, after getting his official pardon for being gay 50 years after his death. Better late than never just doesn't get traction here. He saved thousands of lives, and quite possibly allowed Allies to win the war. It's good to see part of his life put into film.
