Apple Products,Devil Companies?

OK i am a big fan of electronics. I just bought an Ipad and started to wonder what made them choose their logo. Although I have read articles from the creator of the logo saying that it had nothing to do with the tree of knowledge from the Bible. In my head i want to accept that its fine since he said it wasn't his intention, then when i think about the fact that the first apple computer was sold for 666.66 i wonder is Apple sending us messages? Although Apple has said this was a coincidence as well. What I want to know is even IF these are intentional things from Apple is it wrong for a Christian to continue to use their products? I know its not what goes in a man that defiles him but what comes out. I just cant help but think of the scripture roman 14:23 and am a little conflicted on what to do and how to feel. Any suggestions and or scriptures would be greatly appreciated. Here's a passage from an article read "666 Company Linked with Microsoft? Now let us leave Lucifer and take a look at what's going on at Microsoft, the world's largest software corporation. Microsoft has recently announced it's gone into business with Apple Computers, one of the top makers of personal and networking computers. According to Fortune magazine, billionaire Bill Gates, founder of Microsoft, is the richest man in the U.S.A. Gates was an attendee and a key player at Soviet Communist Mikhail Gorbachev's State of the World Forum in San Francisco last year. Cooperating with Apple, Gates and his Microsoft Corporation will gain significant new inroads into the computer market. Microsoft's global software and internet superiority will intensify. But, have Bill Gates and Microsoft linked up with a devilish company in Apple? Consider Apple's choice for its corporate symbol? The company's logo is an apple that has had a bite taken out of it. To many occult insiders, this signifies that the eating of the forbidden fruit (symbolically, the apple) by Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden was a good thing. Occultists and New Agers teach that taking a bite out of the apple gave the first two humans knowledge, or gnosis, putting them on the path to self-divinity and godhood. Apple Computers was cofounded in the 70s by Stephen Jobs, a weird, New Age guru-type, and Steven Wozniak, also an advocate of the Aquarian Age culture. When entrepreneurs Jobs and Wozniak first marketed their earliest, crude personal computer, they put a price tag of $666 on the product. 666! Coincidental--or on purpose? You decide."

1. You're afraid of a number. That makes no sense. The apple logo was chosen as a reference to Newton and the apple analogy. If you look hard, you can find the original logo, which was Newton sitting under an apple tree. And please, don't group such a very very large group of people ('new age') with a vast diversity of beliefs into one. Their beliefs are quire varied. You can make anything connected with any number if you try hard enough. People who think 7 is lucky see 7 everywhere, people who think 23 is sacred see 23 everywhere, and people who are afraid of 666 see 666 everywhere.
2. It appears you lack the maturity to benefit from reading Scripture by yourself. You need leadership. A shepherd. An ordained one. A Catholic priest. You seem to assign importance to random facts and hope that someone is communicating with you in a clandestine fashion. You may need more professional help like a psychologist in addition to a priest. Don't be afraid to get either one, to reach out to the right people for help. One thing for sure, you don't need to be on Y!A looking for help. Be wary of the many loonies on answers who need you as a captive audience.
