I see a problem. "Valid for 1 person." What if it was a rich deaf bidder and need a sign language interpreter? They should make it an exceptional or make it accommodate.
The only thing I'd question is why a company on the way to a trillion dollars won't even provide hotel/airfare accommodations for the person to travel for the lunch? Seems pretty absurd to me and they certainly aren't hurting for cash at all. Oh well.
That person will pay for their own damn meal, this isn't a charity....oh wait!
Ironic. Considering the company promotes mindless photography of every experience…
What's worse than the dancing is it looks like he's wearing my mom's blouse...that she had in the heart of the 1980's pastels era. Hers had some scary shoulder pads sewn in, though.Sorry, it had to be done.

Come on, doesn't anyone here actually care what he actually does, such as ruin the usability of the music player interface??????

If I had the opportunity, I would try to talk with Eddy about some of the poor fashion over design decisions made by Apple. Although to be fair Jony would have to be part of that discussion. Apple is guilty more and more of not using simple common sense:
1) throwing out HP jack
2) way too early USB-C ONLY I/O on MBP
3) overly subtle GUIs (controls that only appear if you "move" or know the keyboard shortcut)
4) throwing out the ability to simply point to external sound libraries in Logic
5) difficult in iTunes to find the "repeat" button while "shuffle" is everywhere
6) etc..

All he'll do is tell you he can't comment on those questions...
Interesting thought about Cue. I personally don't have an issue with Eddie Cue. And I think it be interesting to learn more about him.
What's also interesting, is your post reflects almost exactly as Another forum members post from another similar thread Macrumors posted weeks back.

Thx for your concern.
I got my own charities that I fund directly - without the mere exotic category of Hawaiian shirt-wearing borderliner lunch associates.

Damn! My bid of $0.00 has been outbid.I bid $1.00
This one really annoyed me. I have thought about buying a new laptop for months now, but every time I look at the new rMBP's price, compare it to other laptops, and then realize that I'll have to spend a good couple hundred on hubs/adapters, I realize that it's a complete waste of money. It's a bit of a chicken and egg problem. I'm not going to buy a USB-C only laptop, until I have something to plug into it, but I'm not going to buy any USB-C devices, if I have nothing to plug them into. They really should have just replaced the Thunderbolt ports or something with USB-C and not gone all-in. The way it is now, the new rMBP is an upgrade path for fools.
