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.

How much RAM do you have? Check Activity Monitor (in Utilities) - Lion (and Mountain Lion) is a memory hog. 4 GB should be considered a minimum; kernel_task regularly uses up to 1 GB of RAM - with nothing open but Firefox and Mail, my usage is over 3 GB. Once I increased the RAM (I have 12 GB), things settled down. I had sent in a bug report and Apple's answer was: working as designed/expected with an explanation of running in 64 bit mode vs. 32 bit mode. Also, from what I've heard, Safari needs some attention (the web content becomes overbloated) - I think resetting/quitting helps and/or quit the process in Activity Monitor - I don't have a problem with it because I don't use it, LOL.

And you're on your own with the iPhone - don't have one (but I do now have an iPad)....

OK, after working with AppleCare the phantom server connection has been fixed; I was finally able to get the iMac to remember my preferred (and ONLY) network. The slowdown continues. Yes, a RAM upgrade is on the "to do" list, but I need to get my cc's paid down after a three week trip and some car repairs. I now just shut down at night; also during the day if need be. My plan is to fill the 2 empty slots with 8GB modules, bumping me up to 20 GB. Then later replacing the 2 2GB modules with 2 more 8GB modules to max it out at 32GB.

As for the iPhone 5, it finally arrived last Monday and I was able to sync it to replace my old 3GS. Now I just need to buy 3 more USB/Lightning cables for my cars.

Can't! One is my wife's 2004 Prius, one is my 1989 Mazda Miata, and the third is the 2005 VW Jetta TDI Wagen I bought to chauffer my 92 years-old mother around since she gave up her license last year. As she said, she might be able to fall into the Miata but she'd never be able to get out - even more apt after breaking her hip back in April. Besides, 3 $20 cables are cheaper than 3 $30 adapters. 😀

Actually the first computer may have been the Antikythera mechanism of c100BC. In more modern times, though there were calculating machines, the first computer (though never completed) was the Babbage Analytical Engine first described in 1837 - unlike the calculating machines it was to have been actually programmable. There is currently a plan in progress to build a working version of it.
