Ah nice! Similarly, we have Alan Turing: > Alan Turing, mathematician, logician, cryptanalyst and computer scientist. Turing is widely considered to be the father of computer science and artificial intelligence. His Turing machines — formal and simple hypothetical devices that formalised the concepts of algorithm and computation — played an important part in the creation of the modern computer.

An inquest determined that his death was suicide. Whether true or not, whenever I see the Apple logo I think of Alan Turing.
