No offense but, not a very good theory. All he did was show a folder with an Apple logo and the inside that said "The Offer" and in a parody of the traditional unboxing photos, proceeded to describe the "iOffer" package as if it was a piece of tech itself. Clearly, no NDA violation occurred.

Now go clean your room...

;)

Blimey you've been poking around!

That's the tidiest my room has ever been :D
 
How does the box smell? Like a Snow Leopard box or, let's say, an iPod box. Since there's no hardware or software in it, the smell might be different.
 
So I guess some of you didn't actually read the guy's actual blog post...

He did take the job and it wasn't an offer for "retail." He is the founder of Twisted, which is an event-driven networking engine written in Python that Apple has been using in their Darwin Calendar server. So they [Apple] figured they might as well hire the guy (and he get's to work from home in New York.)

Thanks for filling me in. I just had a quick read through the posts and nothing was mentioned. Never the less, not bad
 
What's so special about this?

I got something similar (but red!!) from my employer five years ago - and that was just for a call centre job!! This really is no biggee and certainly not unique to Apple.

Slow news day?
 
I was just about to ask that.

It's kind of pointless if you ask me... (the unboxing)

Yup. Lame. Who cares about some schmoes Apple job offer?

The only reason someone would do something like this would be to try to make people envious or jealous. Which is a really lame reason to do something.

EDIT: Or it is a lame joke...either way...
 
i love it - simple and to the point.

You know what I'd do?

I'd just mail a single, crisp new business card (with the applicant's name, official title, new office address, new office phone number, etc...) on it, and a post-it note on the back saying: "Congratulations! See you at this address on Monday morning at 9am. I've got 499 more business cards like this one to give out then." :D

Actually... I can think of a reason... I'm in the process of defining a design brief that I want to pitch to our management about designing an offer packet, and this is actually really interesting to me as a creative director. I'd be interested to see even more pictures.

LOL - it's not an artistic masterpiece, it's a 3 pocket folder for f***'s sake.
