I’m not the Fake Steve Jobs, goddamit!
Monday, August 6th, 2007
The next person to write and ask whether I am the Fake Steve Jobs will be getting a virus neatly planted on their hard drive by one of my hacker friends. (Don’t believe I have hacker friends? Just try me).
I’m still trying to understand why Daniel Lyons, the Forbes reporter who was outed (login sadly required) today as the man behind The Secret Diary of the Steve Jobs by the New York Times, used a mug shot of a terrier to illustrate the post about the unmasking. An exploitative and cowardly move, even by human standards. What’s even more insulting is that people are taking the plug-ugly Pets.com mascot lookalike in the photo for me! Disgusting. I’m seriously considering reporting this to Animaux Sans Frontières.
