This is probably common knowledge, but after the War Alan Turing was convicted of homosexuality, stripped of his security status and never worked on a project of import again.  He committed suicide in the Fifties, by eating a poisoned apple.

Some believe this is why Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak named their company 'Apple.'

Never knew that.  I wonder if it's true.

I don't know about the apple, but it's true he committed suicide. The British Government apologised for it just last year.
