Tim Cook Coffee Auction Closes Tomorrow, Current High Bid at $605,000

[Rogifan]

I hope whoever wins, asks him WTF he has been doing for the past 9 months.

I don't want to read about BS auctions, I want some new product news. Sick of waiting.

Um, didn't Apple basically refresh their entire product line last September/October? Or are you just crabby because there's no news on the MacPro?

 

[macman34]

...and who appointed Mr Sculley...I wonder...?.

I rest my case.

Steve did. He made the same mistake with Cook. Unfortunately he's not around to correct it.

Er no they didn't. New iMacs don't constitute their entire line up. Even if it did that is still 9 months ago like I said.

That's 9 months of BS stories like this to fill the websites with nothing of any real consequence to talk about.

Maybe June is going to answer some of your 'concerns'.

$605,000.01!

Do I win?

Here's an offer: for $605,000.00, Tim Cook can have coffee with ME!

 

[Doctor Q]

It's so good to see that anyone with half a million dollars or so to give away can have the ear of Apple's CEO.

Are you aware that you can email him for free?

 

[SandboxGeneral]

Are you aware that you can email him for free?

If we email him and he responds, let's hope they don't send an invoice in the mail!

 

[Doctor Q]

If we email him and he responds, let's hope they don't send an invoice in the mail!

No, they don't invoice you. They directly debit your savings account for a large donation to the charity of your choice (which they determine automatically by data-mining all of your past Siri questions). So you make a huge charitable donation just by emailing Tim. It's the Apple style since "it just works!"

I hope this story has a happy ending.

I would bid $1000 to have a date with Laurene Powell Jobs.

I hear she is rich! And single.

Very tasteful.

Stay classy, Mate.

 

[JAQ]

I hope this story has a happy ending.

I would if I won the date with Tim.

 

[iMikeT]

Going once..... Going twice.....

 

[laflores]

I would pay $605.000, but only if the cup of coffee is included in the price...

 

[JAQ]

Are you aware that you can email him for free?

Yeah, and sending him an e-mail is totally equivalent to sitting down with him, looking him in the eye, and asking why he isn't more proactive in ensuring that his employees in the iBookstore aren't censor-happy homophobic prudes.

I think Tim will get A LOT more out of you, Henry, for just a couple hundred an hour

One Word.

Disney.

Apple is the Disney of gadgets.

A few years ago I would have used the word "computers" instead of gadgets.

so sad..

But in the end some charity organization gets whatever amount is left over after the auction management gets its share.

A good thing.

 

[Solomani]

You'd pay $605,000 only to find out your coffee is only size Tall.

Not even a Grande or Venti.

 

[DFZD]

Coffee with Steve. Yikes!

On Second thoughts I think if they had Woz instead, and daily lunches instead of coffee. Even for a low price of 10000 dollars, they would market it as, "Best 10000 you'll ever spend."

 

[dziewuliz]

Tim should outbid everyone else and enjoy his two coffees silently smirking at himself...

 

[koban4max]

who in the right mind want to bid that much just to meet with him? What is this person ask? "Hey Mr. Cook, how's life?"

 

[Giuly]

If you can have Lunch with Francis Ford Coppola in Napa Valley for $5000 and opt for coffee with Tim Cook for $600.000, you're bidding wrong.

 

[JayCee842]

If I had the money I 'd just pay up to tell him what a **** job he's doing and invite him along to meet John Sculley with me for some pointers.

At the money goes towards a very good cause which is the RFK center.

Maybe you should be running Apple!

.....after a bid was placed using a stolen credit card.

A prank, or a very ballsy move.....earning a place in the 'dumbest things some crooks do' hall of shame.

 

[h4lp m3]

Agree. Who would want to sit down and hear Tim Cook's voice? Not like he is going to leak Apple secrets.

What secrets? They ran out a year ago.
