Caption contest: Santa Claus is coming to town!

12/4/2012 10:43 AM EST

Hey...Apple guys! There are a bunch of very confused kids. We gotta talk about your map software.

12/4/2012 3:31 PM EST

He's not really at the window. I'm doing research on tele-presents

12/4/2012 3:34 PM EST

Our CFO has left our distributor out in the cold.

12/4/2012 3:40 PM EST

That's just Barney. He and some lab equipment got sacked in the last round of cutbacks.

12/4/2012 3:43 PM EST

L.F. Industries' last email said our newest lab toy should arrive around the 24th.

12/4/2012 3:50 PM EST

The communications standards say that three taps is not enough to be able to open your eyes, let alone initiate handshaking.

12/4/2012 4:00 PM EST

Bill Gates, left in the cold, after ho ho ho-ing his company out with their latest 100 inch Surface tablet.

12/4/2012 4:07 PM EST

Due to cutbacks, we've hired an outside contractor to distribute your bonus for this year

12/4/2012 10:05 PM EST

This 10nm technology sounds really exciting, but did you know there's a fat guy in a red suit outside your window?

12/4/2012 10:06 PM EST

Hey guys, I got a new "green" electric sleigh this year and the battery life is terrible in this weather...any chance I could plug in and charge for a bit?

12/4/2012 10:42 PM EST

So you're saying the chances of us getting any budget for lab equipement this year are the same as a snowball's chance in where? -Oh, in the Arctic! I see!

"Just ignore him, Bob. He’s only here because his GPS broke down and he needs it fixed again."

12/5/2012 11:52 AM EST

"Just ignore him, Bob. He’s only here because his GPS broke down and he needs it fixed again."

12/5/2012 11:55 AM EST

"Yes, I dismantled the fireplace and instead installed a state-of-the-art laboratory. Why do you ask?”

12/5/2012 1:49 PM EST

Morse coding "S" (...) for Santa fails in the age of texting.

12/5/2012 6:01 PM EST

Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the lab
Nothing was stirring, the weather was drab
Peter and Bob sat up late and lamented
That test gear budget cuts should be prevented

When all of a sudden Saint Nick he appeared
At the window and said “Well you both should be cheered!
I’ve brought you for Christmas some Tek MDO’s
And they should get rid of your test gear woes!”


(Sorry, shameless plug, you'll gather I'm a Tektronix fan... :-)

12/6/2012 11:54 AM EST

Oh oh, looks like Rudolph needs a jump start again.

12/6/2012 6:40 PM EST

We should have never told the boss we were willing to relocate....had no idea he meant the North Pole!!!

12/7/2012 3:20 PM EST

Doc, my insanity all started when Santa gave me a Heathkit many years ago.

12/7/2012 4:09 PM EST

Our new product is so hot that even Santa has come begging to get one!

12/7/2012 4:54 PM EST

Your theory make no sense. I'd sooner beleive in Santa Clause before I could agree with you . . . Doh!

12/7/2012 8:56 PM EST

"Buy your own damn cookies, Nick! Whaddya think this is a startup?"

12/9/2012 5:10 AM EST

- Can you hear this "TAP-TAP" noise? I think the hard disk will crash soon.
- Yeah, I know. Just asked Bob to go and get a new SATA disk.
- 'm not sure he did get it right....

12/9/2012 5:19 AM EST

The marketing guy really likes the new product name: "Self Adapted Neural Transimission Antenna". He already has idea for the promotion campaign.

12/9/2012 10:24 AM EST

What else is left for Santa to bring us? We've already got every toy in the Tektronix and HP catalogs.

12/9/2012 9:50 PM EST

He's really a great boss, but during this time of the year he expects me to be on call when I want to be home with the kids. It's Christmas after all, can't it wait till tomorrow?

12/9/2012 9:55 PM EST

He's one of my best clients, but he always wants to add some new feature just before a deadline.

12/9/2012 10:10 PM EST

Yes, I am ignoring him. He's brought the little red wagon that I requested years ago. Now if he waves some Ferrari keys or has new test equipment. . .

12/9/2012 10:22 PM EST

Management denied my request for essential test equipment and parts to finish the project so I had a backup plan.

12/10/2012 8:43 AM EST

I know we have deadline on the new product release, but working this late on Christmas Eve is crazy!

12/10/2012 8:55 AM EST

Yeah, maybe so, but I still need that analyzer. The last time I asked for a scope, he gave me a calculator.

12/10/2012 8:57 AM EST

I hacked his guidance software. Now, every house in the world point here.

12/10/2012 8:59 AM EST

Ok, your pet project is complete. Now, what do I charge this to on my time card?

12/10/2012 2:14 PM EST

Hey guys, thanks for developing these toys for me. Do you have any time to explain how they actually work?

12/10/2012 2:17 PM EST

Ho! Ho! Ho! I can't wait to see their faces when they discover that the new gadgets that I left them are full of coal! That will teach them to sue me for patent infringement!

12/11/2012 1:11 PM EST

We've got a state-of-the-art design and manufacturing facility. So why is our delivery system so antiquated?

12/11/2012 1:12 PM EST

Did we ever give Santa that naughty/nice printout that he asked for?

12/11/2012 5:49 PM EST

Yeah, I know Santa Claus, Indiana sucks, but we can't afford the rents in Santa Clara any more!

12/11/2012 5:49 PM EST

That new venture capital guy just arrived.....

12/11/2012 5:51 PM EST

This is OK, but I still miss Immortal Works.

12/15/2012 1:07 AM EST

Santa stops to tell the techies to keep up the good work. Getting all those bikes down the chimney used to be a real pain.

12/15/2012 1:56 AM EST

Hey there. While you're fixing Maps, could you add the North Pole. My glacier landmark is gone, and I keep getting lost.

12/18/2012 2:11 PM EST

Hey, You Guysss? You forgot the batteries.

12/18/2012 2:13 PM EST

C'mon, man, let me in. Santa's back teeth are floating.

12/18/2012 5:33 PM EST

"Bob, the Chitty Chitty Bang Bang Claus in your contract means that you must root Androids for the "naughty" kids".

12/19/2012 6:03 AM EST

Well Jim, you know that shed out front? This baby turns it into a black hole.

12/21/2012 11:46 AM EST

You know Jim, sometimes I think that the best gift might be that sense of wonder and goodness that my kids have, but I fear that not even Santa has that gift in his bag.

12/21/2012 2:39 PM EST

Ah, so those are the Israeli engineers who work here...

12/21/2012 3:17 PM EST

Santa seems to have lost or forgot his keys to get into the elf's workshop once again.

12/24/2012 3:58 AM EST

Hey! Could you remind me which cloud you put my Naughty or Nice list?

12/26/2012 1:32 PM EST

Guys ... Christmas Emergency! My computer is down. Can't the naughty and nice list and the GPS Navigation is down ..... Hello????

12/26/2012 1:34 PM EST

Guys ... Christmas Emergency!! My computer is down. Can't access the Naughty and Nice List .. the GPS Navigation is down too .... Hello???

12/26/2012 4:58 PM EST

Hey guys! Thanks for that 40 SEER heat pump you put in my sleigh that works down to -40 Fahrenheit. Did you know it bottoms out at -40 Celsius, too?

(Try that conversion out!)

12/28/2012 5:32 AM EST

21th century elves working on next year's Christmas gadget.

12/28/2012 8:08 PM EST

Hey guys, I could sure use a cup of that sludge you engineers call coffee! I've got a long night ahead of me!

12/28/2012 9:45 PM EST

He' going to have to wait till tomorrow like everyone else to open his gift.

12/28/2012 9:49 PM EST

Great, my engineering samples are here.

12/28/2012 9:52 PM EST

Yes, I know who it is. Nobody gets the next release until release date.

12/30/2012 4:50 PM EST

Look! It's Bob Pease in his czar of stuff suit.

Whoa! I thought that dude was dead.

1/1/2013 4:54 PM EST

Eng. 1: "My new SANTA detector is picking up a faint signal!! It works!!!"

Eng. 2: "I think it needs recalibrating....."

1/3/2013 11:30 AM EST

Tim Cook: "Oh, Santa's here. He probably wants to know what I got him for Christmas this year"

1/4/2013 4:41 AM EST

You're having me on, according to Apple Maps tracking, he's in Australia at the moment.

1/7/2013 4:44 PM EST

"That's no Santa_ that's David 'ho-ho-ho' Koch."

1/10/2013 2:14 PM EST

No, it's just an order from Staples, but you know how excited I get to get ANYTHING with our budget.

1/11/2013 11:36 AM EST

Jimmy from Marketing, our make believe Santa this year, has been celebrating since noon. You want to let him in this time?
