He shouldn't have to comment on this non-story, because CNET should have contacted him prior to publishing it... but he did. Leo Laporte also commented, setting the record straight. This story was, and still is misleading, inaccurate, and purely sensationalist. The article should be corrected.
Doug Broussard shouldn't have been surprised to see Steve Wozniak at the Apple Store in San Jose, and he shouldn't have been upset to see that the co-founder of Apple was allowed the courtesy of buying the first iPhone. CNET needs to clean up its act. This isn't a story we want to read on CNET. Tell us what Steve Wozniak thinks about his new iPhone. Tell us something interesting about the products. I don't care if someone in line had his feelings hurt because he didn't understand what was going on that morning.
The reporter of this article, Greg Sandoval, should talk to the people at the store. He should talk to more people in line. He should act like a professional.
Why would someone who is planning to cut in line show up HOURS before the store opens. Woz was interviewed on twitlive.tv before he went to the store. Stick to Leo Laporte and the TWiT network to be informed.

Please publish an apology to Woz. It's ok to eat humble pie. Don't do a Bush on us and defend your crappy journalism.
dude, you turn Woz cutting in line into a liberal / conservative *****? are you ******* serious?
you need to seriously examine your focus... this is borderline insane. you have got to be SO much fun to hang out with.
"We're out of milk? Those damn LIBERALS! Typical left wingers, making sure i don't have any milk..."
you're losing it pal. get help.
Are you trying to be famous because of that? or the creativity just went away?
If you have nothing to say... better...sh......
1. A bloated Silicon Valley guy who once did something neat 30 years ago (and not much else since) does something that is a non-event;
2. CNET wastes an entire article on said non-event, trying to desparately prove its journalistic relevance;
3. Red-faced Apple fanboys get beligerent at the idea that CNET and various commenters would dare to question the mighty Woz.
I wish I could sue someone to get back the 2 minutes of my life it took to read this pointless article.
Jebus, Valley people are such me-monkeys; this whole thing is so typical of California tech: all talk and "big vision", all "it doesn't happen unless it happens here", and (with the occasional Apple, Google, or Oracle aside) very little substantive output (unless you count the turbine-sucking sound generated by the churning of wasted VC dollars on business models that have zero viability...) HINT: IT'S NOT 1999 ANYMORE. YOUR COMPANIES MUST MAKE MONEY TO SURVIVE. IT'S NOT ALL ABOUT YOU. PARTY'S OVER.
The Broussards really squandered their 15 minutes of fame. If they were better people they could have used their fame for more than complaining about a tech rock star allegedly taking cuts in line when the new gadgets come out.
