"People brought iPhones, iPods and iPads for Wozniak to sign with a marker. "Now your phone is not going to be worth as much when you sell it," Wozniak said to one woman before signing her iPhone 4"
Dear Woz, I am sure an iPhone with your signature is worth a lot more than a bare iPhone.
I'd think that was mostly an issue of company policy than punishing the guy for showing it specifically to Woz. In other words, if they found out that he'd shown it to his cab driver, or the guy who made his coffee the next morning, he'd probably be in just as much trouble.
I want to start a company that's so damned awesome, that even after I've been retired for decades, I'll line up and wait overnight to buy their latest product.

Turns out two years later I'm totally one of those fanboys

By the way, that cultofmac link gets stuck in a redirect loop. Woz contributed a piece about it to gizmodo though: http://gizmodo.com/5523673/steve-wozniak-on-apple-security-e...
EDIT: Also, from the article:
>Wozniak acknowledged that he could have easily made one phone call to Apple and gotten the phone he's waiting in line for, but he didn't.
How many other "celebrities" would keep in touch with a student they met in a queue a year ago? Legend.
