Alongside the VIPs and people who paid top dollar, a hacker claims he also got priority access to Steve Jobs' speech at the Macworld Conference and
Expo this week.

I never claimed that I used the badge (I didn't), only that Platinum passholders get the priority seating which is what you need if you really want to see Jobs' speech. People were lining up at 5am for a seat and there was still no guarantee you'd get one.

The most fun part about this (other than getting the badge and realizing it was all true) was reading the first comments on the news.com.com talkback. Kids still debate Mac vs. PC vs. Linux vs. BSD vs. VAX vs. OS/2 ? :(
