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...

I agree. When I was working there they sent us to the home office. It was a great training. Bibb road... never will forget that building. Very cool place.
Blimey you've been poking around!
That's the tidiest my room has ever been![]()
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.)
Describing the tension on the hinge of the folder is just a little bit sad.
I was just about to ask that.
It's kind of pointless if you ask me... (the unboxing)
Something just says yes...

i love it - simple and to the point.
I wonder if Apple places as much "emphasis on design aesthetics" for a rejection letter?![]()
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...
After three interviews I got the rejection email myself. Oh well American Eagle I come.
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.
