Jobs picked the name "Apple" for no good reason but later said it would help show up earlier in the phone book. The stock symbol is AAPL and not APPL for the same reason.
The bite out of the apple in the logo is for good reason. It's to make it clear it's an apple and not a cherry.
The pricing is just a nerd thing. Guess what, 666 in octal is rw-rw-rw- for unix file permissions for owner, group, and others in that order. Make what you want of that.
They missed out a sixth weird thing. The founder's name is Jobs! Like the guy in the Bible! Oh noes!
