Alan Turing and Enigma
Just watched a short blurb on the upcoming movie of Turings life and his code breaking services in WW2. Turing will be played by the ever versatile Benedict Cumberbatch.
I had read numerous articles etc regarding Enigma but had not been aware of Turings life and tragic end. The movie is taking some early criticism by Turings biographer. Apparently the movie is playing up a relationship with a women, but that is the movies.
Such a sad end to the life of a war hero and genius. Have also just learned that the famous Apple Computer logo is based off of the poison apple used by Turing to end his life.
Look forward to the movie.
