Despite the apple or anything else being inspected his death was determined as suicide by cyanide poisoning. He had also been exposed to poisons working in laboratories. Decades passed for the 'crime" to be repealed. The 50 pound note was printed with his image to honor his life.

In many schools across the world we are never taught about the defamation of his character and what it did to a quiet, gentle person. He is remembered now as a genius and a hero across the world despite governments still considering sexuality a crime.

Alan Turing died alone and depressed even though he changed the world for good. He was demolished as a human and deemed a criminal even with advocates as strong as Winston Churchill. Even the USA where he worked too believed and others still do that good people can be gay.

Later Apple Computers was asked many times if they had based their Apple logo on the Apple from the bedside table where Alan Turing died. Apple never answered until finally near his own demise Steve Jobs at lazt expressed a wish they had thought of it at all but they never had.

happy to retcon a rainbow apple with a bite out of it as a (sad) nod Turing

I know John is so horrible this is why I felt compelled to do something like this it never ceases to confound me how people even come up with this shit. And it begs the question who really are the criminals in such situations?

there's a wonderful stage play, 'breaking the code' I saw earlier this year-there was a TV version in 1986–it captured Turing's personality, often played as robotic and tortured as a much lighter more engaging person (which nay all accounts he was)

In Cyptonomicon @nealstephenson also captures this aspect of his personality

So let me ask you a question John where did you learn the truth about touring was it through your education in Australia or through books or the film talks how did you find out his story I wonder?

it was a slow accumulation. I learned of his work in my under graduate CS and Maths degree, but not much of him as a man. In my 20s I gained a considerable interest in cryptography, and read a lot on that, in which more of the man appears
