Especially the biggest tool at Apple. Lunch with Tim I would understand maybe... But you would have to pay me to spend time with this tool bag.
Got a tip for us?

1 bid @ $5000. Probably his mom.
The guy makes $22 million/year. He should be paying us, as others have said.

Yes, I would like to have lunch with Eddie. I'm angry as hell about how he has single handedly ruined the user interface to the music player. I would explain to him that tapping on multiple spots to get the same thing to happen that used to take one tap, is un acceptable. I would let him know that now I can't see the minuscule line that you have to tap to change the play head position on a song. In strong terms I would stand up and let him know that when a large song image and description are tapped, nothing happens because now I have to find and tap on the small arrow for that to happen. I would then grab him by the collar and show him that when I search for a song and click on the large image of the song or it's description, the music player comes up, not the song itself and nothing plays...I have to search for and carefully click the tiny arrow for that. This would go on like this, escalating till he physically got my point. My personal stereo in my pocket has been ruined by Eddie, and I would cherish a chance to let him know it.
Excellent cause, Eddie. Congratulations.
But come on! What is it with the lunch menu?

I noticed that over the years that none of this goes to help people on the streets.
Apart from the fact that I very much criticize his running of the parts of the company he's responsible for, I find his choice of charities bizarre. First of all the national basketball coach one has a very confusing set of aims, and then this charity seems to be minuscule, I can't make heads or tails of their accounts:

For that price they could at least fly you there and put you up in a hotel for the night. No tour. No pictures. Why? Why would anyone do that? I'd rather donate the 50K to the charity and forego the dinner. Probably kale with puree of dates...
Apparently Eddy only eats with his fingers - won't use a knife and fork. Just a heads up...

Of course they're losing share in Video, they don't have a competing video streaming service!
Giving them any market share, or pretending they're competing with the iTunes Store is insane.
I still use iTunes on my Mac for a variety of reasons.
Apple Pay is not as ubiquitous in the US as it apparently is in Europe. The US's "advanced" tech status does not include the latest in POS terminals, internet, etc.
iCloud has had a number of outages over times although, as I posted, it's getting better. Plus Apple charges more for its cloud storage than it's competitors.
Not as gross as his performance at Apple, the only good thing is the money helps some people.
And you're a philanthropist, right? Given a lot to good causes, right? And you'd never even think about that tax write-off, huh?
They might have raised more money for charity if it was lunch with Dr. Dre I would imagine. Most people have no idea who Eddie Cue is.
Get ready for some more hate on Eddy Cue
Yes! And all of it richly deserved.
Oh, c'mon. For $50,000 for charity, I'll bet a lot of people would.

I read this five time, and I still can't see the intent of your comment. Can you make your point more directly, perhaps?
That'd be fun to see his reaction when you point out how much better App Store review times are when you actually expand the size of the review team for the first time since its creation.
