12 little-known facts about Apple -
Fact #1
The first logo of Apple had a picture of famous scientist Isaac Newton - the man behind the theory of gravity. It is believed that this theory took shape after Newton saw an apple fall in his orchard.
Apple literally translated Newton's personal experience on to its first logo. The logo had Newton sitting under a tree with an apple about to fall on his head. The logo was, however, used only for Apple I.
Fact #2
No joke intended, but Apple came into being in on all Fools Day, April 1, 1976!
Fact #3
Apple invented the 'Dogcow' in 1983. The sound made by this hybrid invention was 'moof.' The Dogcow soon rose to popularity and featured in several advertisements.
Apple later registered the trademark for both Dogcow and the 'moof' sound. The Dogcow was a part of all versions of the Macintosh operating system until MacOS X.
Fact #4
