fake steve jobs had even posted a bit this month. It'd be nice to have that back too. FSJ is better than Dan Lyons' real blog.

For all my Apple fanaticism, I never read FSJ. Strange.

Welcome back, SJ!

Maybe SJ could do something about Apple killing off good apps for the iPhone.

In case you guys just check RSS feeds, Fake Steve has moved to The Secret Diary of Steve Jobs and you'll have to update your RSS link.

In case any of you just can't place that feeling of need for iPad, despite your own techie push-back, now you have your answer:

The Secret Diary of Steve Jobs : An open letter to the people of the world

And to further the discussion, not just bump a blog: there have been headlines about FSJ and TV people creating a show around these technology personalities, obviously a faux Steve character and probably others. It sounds a little like Entourage (career, inside but melodramatic look at the business and culture) but hopefully not so one-dimentional.

And I'm also wondering, who could actually pull off a Steve Jobs character?
