Connect these 3 pictures and tell me the funda please.
Thanks 🙂
Cracked correctly in some form or the other by everyone, except chitananda 😦 very bad :p, i am curious though, how did you connect these pictures to that answer…
also, Arkadev, to answer your question about apple getting in trouble. here’s the thing, you can get in trouble if you use someone’s image if you didn’t take the photo yourself, ie, you can get sued by the photographer who took the photo, or in very rare cases, get sued by the person in the photo if you are misrepresenting them or using their photo for profit, but they have to prove that it’s them in the photo. even then, modern copyright laws say that 50 years after the creators death, the stuff they did becomes public domain.
which comes to my last point, the image in the apple logo does not even come under the above cases because it’s a “Drawing” of some guy sitting under an apple tree, we assume it to be Newton because of the stories we’ve heard through urban legend, Newton didn’t actually sit under a tree and have an apple fall on his head. since it’s just a drawing of a guy under a tree, and not a very good drawing at that, the only one who could possibly put a case against Apple would be a 330 year old Isaac Newton or the guy who drew that painting (and i believe that guy works for apple) so i don’t think he would do that… as for 330 year old Newton, he would probably lose the case since Apple would say that that is a picture of Steve Jobs out on a picnic 🙂
Apple.
Newton and the Apple.
Ridley Scott directed Gladiator.
He also directed the 1984 Apple ad which is based on George Orwell’s book 1984
>>> Old logo of Apple Inc
>>> Gladiator
>>> George Orwell who wrote 1984
Connect : 1984 Think different ad by Ridley Scott who was also the director of Gladiator
Apple’s(Old logo) 1984 (George Orwell) ad directed by Ridley Scott(Gladiator)
the apple(the first pic used to be the logo of apple computers) ad directed by ridley scott(director of Gladiator) in the year 1984, where a gladiator comes to save humanity from Big Brother (George Orwells novel-1984)
The connection is Apple’s ‘1984’ commercial, which introduced the Macintosh.
The first is one of the initial logos used by Apple. I used it in a question on my quizzing blog http://arkadev.blogspot.com/
The second is a poster of Gladiator, directed by Ridley Scott.
The third is George Orwell, whose novel 1984 is still a legend.
The advert in question showed an unnamed heroine running. She wears a white tank-top with a cubist logo of Apple on it. The ‘1984’ ad, as it came to be known later, was inspired by the film version of Orwell’s 1984. It was directed by Ridley Scott.
BTW, can anyone tell me if Apple got into any kind of controversy for using Newton in their logo?
connect is 1984
1984 was an American television commercial which introduced the Apple Macintosh (logo of which is shown in pic 1) personal computer for the first time, which was directed by Ridley scott ( director of gladiator- shown in pic2) and the commercial had reference to Goerge Orwell’s ( Pic3 )novel “Nineteen eighty four”
Connect should be Ridley Scott
The first photo is the original logo of Apple Inc.
The third photo is of George Orwell, who wrote the novel 1984 (Nineteen Eighty-Four)
The second photo is of the film Gladiator directed by Ridley Scott.
In 1984 Scott directed the television commercial “1984”, that was aired during the third quarter of Super Bowl XVIII and which introduced the Apple Macintosh for the first time.
(quoting wiki) “1984” used the unnamed heroine to represent the coming of the Macintosh (indicated by her white tank top with a Picasso-style picture of Apple’s Macintosh computer on it) as a means of saving humanity from “conformity” (Big Brother).

1984 Mac ad…
1. Apple
2. Gladiator directed by Ridley Scott who also directed this ad
3. George Orwell whose “1984” was referred to in this ad
apropos the ‘not newton’ argument: it clearly says in a part of the logo that it is newton. one can clearly spot “newton – a mind forever…” and whatever. so its definitely newton.
so would you be able to prove in a court that the image is a perfect likeness of Isaac Newton just because of a caption under it that says “Newton”?
Read this article, it’s from one of my favourite websites, I recommend this to everyone reading this blog.
It also busts a few popular myths..
http://www.cracked.com/article_16101_5-most-ridiculous-lies-you-were-taught-in-history-class.html
quoted from the article
“Newton never mentioned the thing with the apple, and in fact it was another guy named John Conduitt who first told the story some 60 years after it supposedly happened. Even then, he was decisively vague about whether Newton actually saw an apple, or whether the apple is a metaphor that he used to illustrate the idea of gravity for people less intelligent than he was (read: everybody):
“Whilst he was musing in a garden it came into his thought that the power of gravity (which brought an apple from the tree to the ground) was not limited to a certain distance from the earth but that this power must extend much further.””
Sorry for the goof up…It was the right answer…but at the wrong blog…..
