I had a similar experience a while ago. My PowerBook G4 Titanium overheated and melted. I called Apple support. They took my number and told me to wait for a call. Ten minutes later, an executive in Cupertino called me and apologized for my "trouble." Then he made the a similar offer to the person in this story-- if I agreed to not talk about the incident, he would send me a fully loaded brand new PowerBook G4 (aluminum model at the time) worth almost $5k, an iPod, and an external hard drive. I took the deal, of course, but refused to sign anything. Here's a picture I sent to Apple HQ immediately after the incident: http://bit.ly/Gv93d http://bit.ly/Gv93d

How did you get the goodies without signing the NDA?

  I carefully suggested that I would go to the press. Two days later, the stuff arrived on my doorstep.

    Well, it seems like you won. You get to keep your hush money and still get to speak out.
