Wouldn't it be awsome if right in the middle of conversation the winner takes out their Nexus 4 or Galaxy S4 to check their email?![]()
Media guy? They don't have the money for this type of thing.
30-60 minutes with Tim Cook has an "estimated value" of 50k? Wish I had that kind of hourly rate! Even attorneys would be jealous of that.
Last year's auction sold for nearly $3.5 million. The winner won lunch for eight with Buffett at Smith & Wollensky in New York.
About the same as John Lennon.
Don't know where he is buried, but you can probably have half an hour talking to Steve Jobs for free (from a small distance). You won't get any answers though. BYOC (bring your own coffee).
This is for charity. The object is to get as much money as possible to donate to the charity. Has nothing to do with his ego. More to do with getting as much as you can for the charity.
If it were with Steve Jobs, I would have dropped $10K.
For Tim Cook? Maybe $100. That's about what a lecture from a good speaker costs.
For Jonny Ive as the person below me suggested, I would consider something around $2K.

What an easy way to raise money for charity - someone with deep pockets who wouldn't otherwise get to hang with Tim gets to chill for a coffee and chat, and some charity makes bank. How can people find something wrong with this?
It is a form of personal promotion. Sure a charity will benefit but that same charity could be financed privately. I'm really of the opinion that all charitable contributions should be private. When you tie up the promotion of people with the needs of a charity I have problems.
Only $50K to ask him where it is.Quit with the coffees and get that MacPro out already.![]()
Well, the resurrected iSteve isn't ready yet.If I had $50K floating around I would probably donate for this cause but would pass on the coffee with Tim Cook. He is the most boring person I ever seen. In my opinion he is the biggest mistake Apple ever made and the company is suffering for having him at the top.
