Would you break someone elses MacBook Pro if Apple offered you a free one?

[Bill Gates]

What about "would you smash someone else's iPod if it got you an new, fully loaded MBP 17 with the gloss or anti-glare of your choosing?"

Only if I could sell the MBP, buy the iPod owner a new iPod, and pocket the remainder.

 

[Krafty]

Why are you taking this so seriously?

They really should have a warning for making jokes on MacRumors before you post, I could have told you that at the least.

Or "would you kick and orphan if it got you a new Mac Pro?"

Or "would you give yourself diabetes if you also got gigabit internet and the latest macs for life?"

Only if all my testing supplies are delivered by Liberty Medical.

Just thought I would throw this in

 

[Zombie Acorn]

I would buy a used for parts macbook pro off of ebay and smash it/bring it back instead.

 

[spaceboots06]

Yes, because I'm selfish.

ok now THAT i'd do hahaha. i'll sell the MBP 17 buy the neighbor a brand new one of his choice and get a 13"MBP for myself and keep the rest

 

[Boesky]

70% saying no? Yeah right. Be honest, folks.

 

[The Californian]

I promised I wouldn't say what I said in this comment, therefore I redact it.

Or "would you give yourself diabetes if you also got gigabit internet and the latest macs for life?"

Okay, I'd smash someone else's MacBook Pro under these terms... ONLY if the Gigabit Internet was instead a personal OC-768 line and every time a new OC level came out I would receive a free upgrade (in addition to the free service for life). Using the free latest Macs for life, I'd get the guy a new one.

Errrr. Maybe if it was 6 years old and belonged to a family member. Why in the world would STEVE JOBS ask us something like that?

 

[brad.c]

I'm not falling for that one again.

Why wouldn't he? People in business need to think crazy and think BIG. Think the impossible.

 

[Melrose]

Absolutely not. Wrong. Bad. Stupid. Hateful. Indecent. Spiteful.

 

[maflynn]

Ah no, my morals are not subject to purchase. There's no amount of money or stuff that will tempt me to compromise my morals and either hurt someone or destroys someone's property.

Umm no. Just because an iPod costs less doesn't change the principle of the situation- It is still very much someone elses property. Nice try.

 

[ikermalli]

Nope, that's so wrong, what if they have a crapload of important work on there?

I'll just go buy myself one of those Early 2008 fully loaded MBP's for $50

 

[pelicanflip]

That's just plain wrong.

Who knows what kind of information they have stored on their Macbook Pro?

What if they had stored their thesis paper/project of the entire year with all their notes on it? What if they had all their presentations stored on it for their work meeting? I'd hate to do that to someone, it's just cruel.

 

[Maserati7200]

Hell no. My plan would be to say no to Steve, and then he gives me the MBP for being a nice guy

I think that Jobs would not want bad publicity.
