I've made no secret that I think Fake Steve Jobs has the funniest blog on the web, and that he's also a consistently outstanding (and entertaining) source of Apple news and commentary, and uncannily accurate predictions.
Today, he unmasked himself as Dan Lyons, a senior editor at Forbes who lives in the Boston area. As that article notes, he was contacted by the New York Times' Brad Stone, who'd noted strong similarities with the blog Lyons keeps at Forbes.
And WHERE did Brad unmask Steve? Why, at the NYT's Bits blog of course.
Needless to say, Fake Steve's response is hilarious.
Forbes says FSJ will be relocated to Forbes.com starting today, but it's not there yet. Anyway, they tell a great story about the story
The real Steve Jobs and Bill Gates (who publicly denied being Fake Steve) are among FSJ's readers.
Even knowing who Fake Steve is, this is still absolutely essential reading, no matter how you feel about Apple. Other than The COW, and emusic.com, this is the site I check most often. Check it out yourself if you haven't. To make it easy, you don't even have to scroll up: here's the link again for your convenience.
