Fake Steve leaving Forbes for Newsweek

by Robert Palmer Jun 13th 2008 at 4:00PM

Dan Lyons, the real Fake Steve Jobs, is leaving his editor's job at Forbes to join the staff of Newsweek, where he'll take over for outgoing columnist Steven Levy. (Levy left Newsweek for Wired in April.)

Lyons is leaving Forbes on good terms, with associate managing editor Bruce Upbin writing, "Saying we wish him well is an understatement." No details surrounding the financial aspects of the transition were immediately available.

Since Lyons owns the FSJ property himself, Silicon Alley Insider says he'll be bringing El Stevo with him, but it remains unclear what will change about the vast FSJ media empire.

Fake Steve, I honor the place where your funny and my bone become one. Namaste.

Oh, I know I went there. I went there, I bought the t-shirt, and I came back.

Dan Lyons is a paid Microsoft / SCO shill who made vicious attacks on anonymous bloggers - while being an anonymous blogger. He should be ashamed of himself:

I feel like I'm reading one of Zibri's posts on that ridiculous program of his that breaks as many phones as it helps. Please find another way to end your articles.

Did you see this article he recently wrote? He's quite big on himself lately. FSJ lost a lot of luster for me when the real Dan Lyons writes like this.

I read the article and I'm wondering what you objected to? It seemed reasonable enough to me, certainly nothing beyond the pale.

I'm sorry, I'm in hysterics right now. I'm admittedly immature.
