I say it's fake-besides, in the photo he's nowhere near an elavator.
but picture is blurry enough...
Oh they're there. Just in ninja mode!
BTW, that hand holding the phone looks alien like!
I officially follow Tim Cook...around. I watch him all day.

Don't expect to see regular personal tweets or replies to anything. The tweets on that account will be carefully thought through in order to put Apple in the best possible light and avoid saying anything which could be misinterpreted. They'll be as meticulously worded as an Apple keynote invite.
Unlike the recent tweets by NewsNight's editor.
And he's carrying his own water bottle. Surely Apple could hire an intern to do this. So demeaning.
Ha! You are right. This is the real deal then.

The photo effect is an electromagnetic aura created by being in the presence of such a powerful, influential figure like Tim Cook. He could make lightning bolts or earthquakes happen if he wanted to!

Channeling Steve, Tim Cook's advice to people there who complained to him they didn't get an iPhone:
You're standing in line wrong.
It's short enough to be a tweet, too!

Verification
Tim Cook's tweet was retweeted by Phillip Schiller, who is verified. I suspect Phil knows it's the real Tim.

It was an iPhone, but the lighting wasn't fantastic and there was a lot of movement everywhere with the crowd trying to get to him.
Wish I was there...I will ask Tim to sign my htc one
I think Tim would have been more impressed if you would have taken him your Apple TV to sign (with television attached). Now that would have been the bomb.
WHY would he need security - he's only a corporate CEO - nothing more, nothing less!
ONLY fanboys, like yourself. would recognize him.
A pic of taking a pic. Cook inception...
Looks like it was taken by one of those people/cameras that take pics of the unreleased iphone parts.
iCook 6 early prototype.

He went from just over 200 followers to over 74,000 in about 2 hours. I think he'll make it to at least 3m before it levels out.

Even his first tweet sounded like something from a keynote.

Wow. Tim Cook went slumming and then tweeted about it. Front Page?
And you guys really aren't naive enough to believe that Cook personally sends his own tweets are you? Say it ain't so.

Tim came by the Stanford Store too
Tim came by the Stanford store about 9am this morning and said hello to everyone and walked around the store and talked to customers. He was very friendly to me and other customers. He asked what color I was getting and I said I wanted gold and joked about how finding real gold was probably easier and he laughed really hard and then said that they were working on making more gold very soon. Overall, a great day with getting my new iPhone 5s and also meeting Tim Cook.
