According to Daring Fireball: “I’m sure it had nothing to do with the fact that continuing the Fake Steve blog might have an adverse effect on the amount of access to new products Apple will grant to Lyons and Newsweek.”

It’s a bit unusual for Gruber to make unsubstantiated and bitchy claims, so who knows what’s real / what’s fake now?

FSJ is taking a break to see if RSJ is going to be OK, health-wise. FSJ might return in the Fall. Unless, you know, RSJ drops dead. (But I do like that Zombie Fake Steve Jobs idea someone put forth...) Jason: The eejits sliced the video into parts that are not Apple-easy to find.

WHY did FSJ have to go? Does Forbes own it, or something? I like your style - which is just like (obviously) FSJ's - keep it up man. Your "Art Director" on sabbatical, J RDL -

Seems I got the edited version of the talking head interview.

WHY did FSJ have to go? Does Forbes own it, or something?

I like your style – which is just like (obviously) FSJ’s – keep it up man.

Your “Art Director” on sabbatical,

Fess up sparky, that was part of the deal of newsweek hiring you?!?!? You're simply not funny as yourself and come across as a bored, lonely and bitter liberal.

I loved it when you walked off camera, you're talking in the background, and the guy is just sitting there, it was great. Then you and the other guy just start comparing apps, and downloading apps. Great. But yeah, I don't know how you could do a humorous dying article for Fake Steve. But there are options afterwords, Angel Fake Steve, Zombie Fake Steve. Zombie Fake Steve would probably be okay. He could go visit the Borg and eat Ballmer and comment on how sweaty he tasted. Or, since you said there is the possibility of a return, maybe transfer FSJ to print in Newsweek. Then, we all have to buy copies whenever it comes out. Because lets face it, the only time I read that is the doctor's office, or somebody leaves it on the plane. Or if I'm really desperate, I'll buy it in the airport prior to my flight, that is if I didn't bring my copy of Options with me. I do believe the only bought it once, I think I was on the cover. - Barry The videos where really good.

It's really tough for any creative person to have confidence in ones own voice. And what worked so well in the FSJ persona was the world of real and fake people that you brilliantly satirised. Anyone that can write the line in Options: "you're like Willy fookin Wonka in his fookin chocolate factory, out there baking up your fookin iPods" is a genius of Galton/Simpson, or maybe Chabon-esque proportions! What's so interesting about your FSJ project is the amount of feedback you get - which I suppose must influence you like few writers have in the past. Does this make you a true 21st century writer? Mind you, some of the negative comments you got when the FSJ was closing I thought were genuinely scary. And of course, totally unfair - it's not like they paid you! I've updated my bookmarks and will once again be checking in a few times a day to waste some time. I really wish I could write as well as you.
