Fake Steve Jobs owns up

He's a hack, Namaste

A MAN WHO pretended to be Steve Jobs is instead an old hack who works for Forbes.

He is David Lyons, and he admits to putting together the diary on the Fake Steve Jobs bog, here.

The New York Times outed him, said Lyons. But despite his protestations, we wonder if perhaps the job of pretending successfully to be Steve Jobs has taken its toll on the man.

Some questions remain. Does Lyons have an Ipod? Does he have an Iphone? Does he levitate? µ

* THE FAKE STEVE asks if anyone can come up with a verb to describe Brad Stone and his actions. We can't. But Brad Stone is an anagram of adsorbent. One of its meanings as an adjective is "a usually solid substance that adsorbs another substance".
