    Seriously, are his fingers broken? He can't order online or even just pick up the phone and call Steve to get one? If he wants to make a celebrity appearance, great. But don't be an ass and cut in front of everyone unless you're handing out free Segways or Apple stock or pairs of Kathy Griffin's underwear or something.

    1. Line to get on the bus The elderly, pregnant, with small children and people with disabilities get line cut privileges.


    2. Line for checkout at the supermarket Fuck you, back of the line.


    3. Line outside a store to buy a new product See 2*


    *subject to overruling by majority of customers on line

    Nothing wrong with that at all - the dude is a mega-god.


    HOWEVER...


    He would probably generate a lot of interest in autographs and photo ops.


    Should he cut the line and THEN decline to do that for his fans, that would be a dicky thing to do.


    Yes, I said 'dicky'.


    I have never met Woz, but spoke with him once on the phone (we crank called him) he was very polite, very nice and spoke with us for about fifteen minutes.


    Yes, He can cut. But if he starts being a douchewad to people, then the privilege ends.

    Didn't he do pretty much the same thing at the release of the first two, IIRC? Of course, I would let the creator of the US Festival cut in front of me, no questions asked.

    @NerdBurger_GitEmSteveDave:


    yes, he's done this at every iphone launch, though he used to go there with some official looking line-place-saver-tickets and would be wearing an apple shirt and would act all official and pass them out... saving #1 for himself, of course. it's funny because they dont really mean anything - he just prints em himself.
