I just recieved my think different posters but I am not sure whether or not it is authentic. Can some one list the criteria?

I doubt it because the logo is white.(not the rainbow logo)
In some that I have seen the logo is on the left side, mine is on the right.

The original "Think different" posters have a colored logo, and definitely are not square...I would say it's not authentic.

strange, why would someone go to the trouble of making a copy but using the white apple and not the rainbow, this would tip off a lot of people that it's not original.

In anycase, it's still a cool poster, I think I wouldn't mind paying for one even if it was a copy if the originals are difficult to find.

I'd have to say I agree here. As long as you like the way it looks. Very few people would ever look at it hanging in you living-room (or over the toilet or whatever) and go "that is a cool poster, but why is that apple white?" Of course if you were looking for something that will be worth something some day then its probably something you want to look into.

Also (now this is idle speculation) that ad ran not long before the switch from the striped to the solid apple logo. Is it possible that there was some overlap? I'm pretty sure they kept running the magazine ads after the switch, but I have no idea about the posters.
