FWIW, I happen to be within walking distance of the USPTO. I was going to offer to post pictures, but I see the MacRumours article already has them.
Independent of the Steve Jobs exhibit, there is also a talking video "portrait" of Woz in the little museum they have there. It's not long, but his portrait is up on a wall along with Edison and Telsa and whatnot. That's a very flattering, if obscure, public compliment.
(I haven't been there in a while, Telsa might not actually be there, but there are several famous inventors in the exhibit.)
EDIT: There is a little more info (but unfortunately no pictures) on the exhibit Woz is in at http://www.uspto.gov/about/offices/opa/museum.jsp#heading-2 http://www.uspto.gov/about/offices/opa/museum.jsp#heading-2.
- apotheon 15y agos/Telsa/Tesla/ Basically everything Edison supposedly invented was actually pretty much plagiarized by someone else, then credited to himself by way of a patent. Tesla was quite possibly his most-wronged victim. Far from protecting creators, patent law actually enables more effective and insidious means of ripping off the innovators of our culture. Of course the patent office would love Edison, though, because patents were among Edison's favorite tools for screwing over others.
