Is "Fake Steve" in Trouble with "Real Steve?"
After what happened to Think Secret, is "Fake Steve" now in trouble with Apple? Nah.
When I wrote about the closure of Think Secret, I wondered what the next rumor site that Big Brother, I mean Apple, would target was. I certainly didn’t think they would go after Fake Steve, or Daniel Lyons, and his “Secret Diary of Steve Jobs” satire blog. And honestly, I still don’t.
I could be completely wrong, but if I’m right, and I think I am, Dec. 22 just became the new April 1.

The story outlines the reasons in detail that this probably is fake news and not reality. Number one, of course, is that the site is and has always been, satiric in nature. Of course, we could be completely off-base. But most likely, nah.
