Why is apple's logo an apple with a bite out of it?

Why is its name Apple?

"Apple Mecca," is intended to be open 24 hours a day like the Ka'ba, and moreover, contains bars selling alcoholic beverages

That's a good marketing move by Apple, since I'd have to be drunk to buy one of their computers.

First Apple logo:

The apple symbolized simplicity and the bite out of the apple in the later versions symbolized the acquisition of knowledge and also so that it wouldn't look like a tomato. The multi-colored apple was to show off Apple II's color display.
