Dan Lyons, the man behind Fake Steve Jobs (or FSJ, as we affectionately refer to him around here), is starting his latest gig at Newsweek, and fortunately for us, FSJ may be seeing a revival in the near future.
Lyons claims to have stopped the FSJ blog because of Steve’s health, noting that he would feel uncomfortable parodying a sick person. When Mac Soda recently questioned him on his thoughts about Steve’s health, noting that Steve himself claims his health is not a serious issue, he had something rather alarming to say:
“Well it's a weird situation. I can't really get into this but people close to him have been saying for quite a while (before the appearance onstage) that he's really sick. And someone who saw him last week says he still looks like (expletive)”.
Regardless of Steve’s health, there’s no denying that Lyon’s biggest claim to fame is FSJ. So will we see a return of his famed blog?
“I'm starting at Newsweek tomorrow and Fake Steve was supposed to be part of my job. So we're going to discuss whether to revive the blog”.
I personally think Dan Lyons would be well suited for a gig with MacUser. I mean, we already have two Dans. Why not add a third?
Once FSJ identity was uncovered he lost his mojo. FSJ started trying too hard.
I was happy to see him retire and I don't care to see him return.
Yes, add a paid SCO shill to your roster - that will improve your credibility.
I know this is not really related to this post, but those stingers are entirely to blame for the loss of Fake Steve. Why did they have to find out who he really was? Cut the goose with the golden egg.
There is no news so you make news. What is better than speculating about Job's health.
Lyons should be investigated by the SEC for starting/furthering rumors designed to influence stock price. He should reveal whether or not he owns any AAPL stock. MacUser should have nothing to do with someone who spreads FUD.
Lyons is an Apple-hating, SCO-shilling scumbag. Don't even consider associating yourself with this loser.
