Only a few hours after his long-awaited keynote on Tuesday, Steve Jobs roamed the Macworld floor like a conquering (yet somewhat shy) hero. But after being approached for a picture by a local scribe from the S.F. Chronicle's website SF Gate, Violet Blue, Mr. Jobs reacted in a less-than-joyful way: He snapped and told her she was being rude, then abruptly turned his back to her. Then, adding another insult, one of Jobs' companions 'snort-laughed at [her], and rolled her eyes.' Fortunately, she got some pictures of Jobs that confirm her encounter, and later, got to relive the moment with Robert Scoble, who ran into her on the floor and later posted a video of her account:

It seems that Ms. Blue was a big Apple fangirl prior to this meeting, and there is no telling whether a personal brush-off from Jobs will make her change to Vista.
