  1. the person here is : Alan Mathison Turing..

    He was a computer scientist, mathematician and a cryptanalyst......
    He was conceived in Chhatrapur orrisa..... (the place on the map)...
    The apple logo shown here was erroneously considered as a tribute to turing as it depicted his way of death....

    He was a homosexual... at that time homosexuality was a crime so he was chemically castrated post world war 2.
