    CEans,

    Steve Wozniak (Woz) is the Apple Co-founder and Inventor of Personal Computers. Steve Woz along with Steve Jobs founded Apple computers back in 1970s. Steve Wozniak is 'the real engineer' behind all those first computers that lead to a revolution in Personal Computing. Essentially, Wozniak was the engineer behind the legendary Apple I & Apple II computers which were much ahead of its generation back then.

    IS it true that steve jobs named his company apple in an instant after seeing an apple on his table after no one came up with an idea to name the company and my other question would be why apple uses only apple software for its products and why dont they make it a open source one?

    1) A lot of people wonder where the name "Apple Computer" came from, as it is a rather unusual name for a computer company.
    Steve Jobs came up with the name in early 1976. At the time, he was often visiting and working on a small farm friends of his owned.
    It was a hippie commune where Steve spent a few months of the year.
    When he returned from one of those stays, he told Steve Wozniak about his idea. Jobs probably was working on apple plantages. Or he just wanted their start-up to be in front of Atari in the phone book. Or it was a tribute to Apple Records, the music label of the Beatles.
    Whatever the true origin of the name was, Woz knew instantly that they were going to be in trouble with Apple Records sooner or later. But as they were unable find a name that sounded better than Apple Computer, the name was chosen. 😉
    Woz's worries turned out to be justified. Apple Computer, Inc. was sued by Apple Records over trademark violations in 1989.

    2) For your 2nd question may be someone else could answer better.

    But read this:

    Just one of the facts. 😀
