OK, 10 letter name, probably first and last, starts with A and ends with S. WHO could it be????
 
I feel soooo vindicated I will quote myself:

It's one of the most dignified gestures to point to someone their predicament especially if it's a negative one of their own making. It's for people with guts and self respect, not the arse kissers surrounding him which I am sure are telling him he's doing just fine.

And lo and behold
who won the bid?

"a********s"

that's right:

arsekissers

subtract the "r" and the "e", and add an s to make it american english, and presto,
it fits the hidden name down to the letter!!!!!!! :D:D:D

I think the bidding price was inflated by Apple employees so this story would make headlines. $610,000 isn't much for all this publicity.
 
Exactly, it's all for charity. And Tim Cook is hardly hurting for $600,000.

Tim doesn't make penny one on this deal. It's all for charity.

He's not getting any money… All of it will go to charity

I didn't say he was getting it, he just raised over half a million dollars and all he has to do it sit there for half an hour and answer some select questions.

Meanwhile other people are performing grueling challenges that can take days/weeks to raise what sometimes amounts to a few hundred/thousand.
 
600K and free publicity. Anything Apple gets attention so I'm sure some startup company will get the exposure they were seeking.

If you're paying $600k whey are people worried about who's paying for the $2 cup of coffee?

Good Grief! Whatever happened to the 'down button'?
That hurts people's feelings so that's why they removed it.
 
Is Katy Perry up for bid? I'd rather spend (donate) my money on her.

The problem with Katy is that you never know quite what to expect. Hopefully, makeup artist fee is included.

Trolled

A man sits alone in a dark cell, his greying beard a constant reminder of his foolish life choices, he grins, yellowed teeth flickering in the dying florescent light. It had been over half a century since he had pulled that fateful prank on a popular charity site, but it was well worth it in his opinion, he chuckled to himself.... "asssssssss"....."trolled :cool:" he thought to himself.
 
With this talk of billionaires, it's funny that people still don't seem to understand how much money a billion is.

Say the average MacRumors reader has $100,000 in assets. However much $610,000 seems to you, to a person with $100 million in assets, that's like a $610 coffee date. For a billionaire, it's like a $61 lunch. Not quite a trivial decision, but close to it, particularly if you get any business benefit at all. Billionaires are truly living in a different world from the rest of us.

you do know what to expect otherwise though, her opening up her legs, that's what gets you places in the music biz, and that's what she's good at, because when it comes down to music there are 1000s of Katies more talented and more beautiful without make up.
