10月6日，苹果联合创始人，前CEO 乔布斯去世，很多人都在悼念他。但昨天微博上有条消息（如下，不知原作者是哪位。）被很多人转发，包括有百万粉丝带V的用户，其他靠转发段子一类消息的微博账号更不在少数。

【乔布斯你所不知道的】 1、他童年曾经被遗弃并被收养。2、他婚前有一个私生女。3、他是个佛教徒。4、缺口的苹果标志，是为了纪念咬了一口苹果被毒死的计算机之父图灵。5、乔布斯是动画《玩具总动员》的创造者。6、他是迪斯尼的第一个人股东。7、他是素食主义者

　　 其中至少有两处不属实，如下：

1. 他童年曾经被遗弃并被收养
2. 缺口的苹果标志，是为了纪念咬了一口苹果被毒死的计算机之父图灵。

一、乔布斯童年曾经被遗弃并被收养吗？

①关于乔布斯生世，看看下面这几段摘自 all about steve jobs 网站的关于乔布斯的介绍。

Steve Jobs was born on February 24, 1955, in the city of San Francisco. His biological mother was an unwed graduate student named Joanne Simpson, and his biological father was a political science or mathematics professor, a native Syrian named Abdulfattah John Jandali.
1955年2月24日，史蒂夫·乔布斯出生于美国加州旧金山市，他生母乔安妮·辛普森是位未婚的研究生妈妈，他生父Abdulfattah John Jandali是位叙利亚裔的教授。

Being born out of wedlock in the puritan America of the 1950s, the baby was put up for adoption. Joanne had a college education, and she insisted that the future parents of her boy be just as well educated. Unfortunately, the candidates, Paul and Clara Jobs, did not fulfill her request: they were lower-middle class people, a couple that had settled in the Bay Area after the war. Paul was a machinist from the Midwest who had not even graduated from high school. In the end, Joanne agreed, under the firm condition that her son would go to college.
20世纪50年代，美国清教徒未婚而生的婴儿应送人收养。乔安妮受过大学教育，因此她坚定要孩子未来的养父养母也是受过良好教育。但不幸的是，未来的养父养母候选人——保罗·乔布斯和克拉拉·乔布斯夫妇并未“达标”。（老乔布斯）夫妇俩都是中低产阶级，战后定居在旧金山的Bay Area。保罗是位来自美国中西部的机械师，他高中没有毕业；克拉拉是名会计。最后，（老乔布斯）夫妇答应了乔安妮的坚定要求：一定要让孩子上大学。

Paul and Clara called their son Steven Paul. While Steve was still a toddler, the couple moved to the Santa Clara county, later to be known as Silicon Valley. They adopted another baby, a girl called Patti, in 1958.
保罗和克拉拉给他们的儿子取名“史蒂文·乔布斯”。在乔布斯还是蹒跚走路的时候（具体几岁，笔者没有查到），夫妇俩移居到圣克拉拉郡（这就是后来的“硅谷”所在地），1958年，老乔布斯夫妇俩又收养了另外一名女婴——帕蒂。

②雅虎新闻频道Taylor Hatmaker 今天发布的文章，其中有一段：

Jobs was born in San Francisco on February 24, 1955. He was adopted shortly after his birth and reared near Mountain View, California by a couple named Clara and Paul Jobs. His adoptive father — a term that Jobs openly objected to — was a machinist for a laser company and his mother worked as an accountant.
乔布斯1955年2月24日出生于旧金山。出生后不久便被住在加州山景城附近的克拉拉和保罗·乔布斯夫妇收养。他的养父是一名激光公司的机械师，他的养母是一位会计。（乔布斯公开反对“养父养母”一说法）。

③维基百科上关于乔布斯的词条：
Jobs was born in San Francisco and was adopted by the family of Paul Jobs and Clara Jobs of Mountain View, California. Paul and Clara later adopted a daughter, Patti.
乔布斯出生于旧金山，被住在加州山景城的保罗·乔布斯和克拉拉·乔布斯夫妇收养。保罗和克拉拉夫妇后来收养了一个女儿——帕蒂。

二、苹果Logo的缺口，是纪念图灵的吗？

关于这个，苹果Logo的设计者 Rob Janoff 曾在一次采访中证实：Logo 和图灵没有关系。下面是摘自他的采访。（采访的英文全文，中文全文）

How did you approach designing the Apple logo?
你是怎么设计苹果Logo的？

It was very simple really. I just bought a bunch of apples, put them in a bowl, and drew them for a week or so to simplify the shape.
超简单的。我就买了一堆苹果，把它们放到果盘里，对着它们画了一星期草图，如此来简化外形设计。

What was the thinking behind the colour order of the stripes, and the ‘bite’?
LOGO条纹的颜色顺序和缺口设计，背后都有些什么样的考虑呢？

There wasn’t a whole lot of hidden meaning behind the colours. The logo predates the gay-pride flag by about a year, so that wasn’t it—and there also goes the whole Alan Turing myth! The religious myths are just that too—there’s no ‘Eve and Garden of Eden’ and ‘bite from the fruit of knowledge’ symbolism!

这些颜色背后真的没有什么隐藏含义。LOGO比起彩虹旗的出现要早上个1年，所以它俩儿根本没关系——这也跟图灵的传说无关！其他传说的宗教含义也是如此——它与“伊甸园中的亚当和夏娃”还有“被咬了一口的智慧果”的象征意义没啥关系。

所以，综述所述，微博上很多人转发的关于乔布斯你所不知道的7点中，至少有两处不属实。
