i was reading that if you put an apple in with your taters that will stop them from sprouting, hmm i just usually cut off the sprouts and eat but ignorance is bliss sometimes

This would certainly be a great thing, if it worked.

I heard if you put an apple with other fruits/vegetables that it will cause them ripen or rot faster. Now I am confused. Nothing unusual about that, though.

Not really. Just more calories.

Rotting fruit produces ethene gas, an alkene, The gas reacts in some way to ripen them, But i have no idea what

Wareagle - Here's is a pretty good article. Your question is answered under "Air Circulation". In short, the answer appears to be no. This is the only quasi legitimate web site I found.
