LOL! I've heard that story...(I'm a Mac geek of sorts). I used to be a beta-tester on many Apple products (most noteworthy iWorld, if anyone remembers that).
Clever, but an urban folk tale nonetheless (even though that reference/theory even made it into a movie, and has been oft repeated).
The bite of the apple in the Apple logo simply represents taking a bite out of the fruit of the tree of knowledge.
BTW, the original Apple logo featured Sir Isaac Netwon sitting beneath an Apple tree, not the familiar icon that is now universally recognized.
