Meaning of the bite on Apple logo?

Last time, I saw this "answered" topic in this forum(Apple - Support - Discussions - Does anyone out there know the meaning ...
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=3506922). But according to the interview with Apple 2nd logo designer( http://creativebits.org/interview/interviewrob_janoff_designer_applelogo), it's nothing to do with what dicussed in the previous topic thread. However, Janoff still doesn't say the original idea. So, does anyone every heard from somewhere or somebody that Janoff ever talked about his original idea of that "bite"?

The bite in the apple symbolizes the apple from the Garden Of Eden. When Eve, took a bite out of the apple, she gained knowledge of good and evil. The Apple logo says, that you can use all their produces for good or bad. Personally, I think they couldn't have done it better. We shouldn't blame the problems of radiation and social issues on technology but on the holders of these devices. It is in you hands whether you chose to do good or bad with it.

If beauty is indeed truth, as John Keats claimed, then this story ought to be true: the logo on the back of your iPhone or Mac is a tribute to Alan Turing, the man who laid the foundations for the modern-day computer, pioneered research into artificial intelligence and unlocked German wartime codes.

His death, a decade after the end of the war, provides the link with Apple. Unrecognized for his work, facing jail for gross indecency and humiliated by estrogen injections intended to 'cure' his homosexuality, he bit into an apple he had laced with cyanide. He died in obscurity on June 7, 1954, 10 years and a day after the Normandy landings, which made copious use of intelligence gleaned by his methods.

I cut this from a CNN site I've known of this story for some time.
