Fake Steve calls shenanigans on Fortune mag item

by Michael Rose (RSS feed) on Dec 19th, 2007

Pity the editors of Fortune's 101 Dumbest Moments in Business list, who thought to include an item at #51 on this year's countdown calling out Apple's dumb move. The rainbow fruit was taken to task for a cease-and-desist letter sent to nine-year-old Shea O'Gorman, who was told in no uncertain terms to stop sending suggestions for improvements to the iPod Nano via a letter from Apple's legal team.

Was this a dumb business moment? Undoubtedly. Did it take place in 2007? Uh, nope -- 2006. Fake Steve calls Fortune on the carpet (link headline NSFW) for the mixup, which is a little disingenuous considering who pays for the gas in his Gulfstream... but it's all in fun.

iPhone in cake form

by Mike Schramm (RSS feed) on Jul 30th, 2007



Call it the First rule of Confectionary Geekery, if you will-- no gadget is allowed to reach icon status until it is immortalized in cake form. This is another happening that didn't show up on our bingo card, but probably should have.

Fortunately, someone's corrected the dire problem of not having an iPhone that is both beautiful, elegant, and edible. They've actually got lots of amazing cakes, including a few purses, a dragster, and even a pom pom. But can the pom pom browse Google maps? Didn't think so.

Fake Steve, now with sponsorship

by Scott McNulty (RSS feed) on Feb 21st, 2007

If you have been around the Mac web once or twice then you are most certainly aware of Fake Steve (he invented the friggin' iPod, after all). Not too long ago his Fake Steveness put out a plea: Stevie needed cash to support his fake vegan lifestyle or the blog would have to suffer. Now, I won't lie to you and say we here at TUAW didn't try to get Fake Steve to join us. Negotiations were going well until I pointed out that white might not be the best color for keyboards; Fake Steve certainly isn't fake mercurial. Luckily, it would seem the powers that be at Wired were more successful in navigating the choppy waters of Fake Steve's ways and have agreed to sponsor his blog.

Fake Steve assures us that nothing will change, and who am I to disagree?

Thanks, Nik.
