They still do it like complete, arrogant pricks.

$180K for coffee with the CEO that's watching Apple stagnate (more than it already has). You can't even form thoughts in your brain about the encounter after the fact or attempt to remember any moments, lest the Apple Thought Police sue you.

Warren B does this every year... And he's no arrogant prick.

..."the winner cannot blog, social network, talk to press, write about, take pictures or record during the experience in any way due to security regulations."

Does Warren do that?

I could understand "no publishing the experience unless we get to look it over first" for that, then, but that total blanket rule is kind of dickish as written. No social networking? These days that's basically like saying "no telling your friends about the experience".

I'd pay five bucks to not have to eat lunch with him.

The way Apple words their terms, it's like I can't even write in the forum, "I had coffee with Apple's CEO." You can't even snap a shot of him and you for your phone? Will it steal his soul or something?
