Fake Steve Jobs Unmasked
The acerbic postings of “Fake Steve,” as he is known, have attracted a plugged-in readership — both the real Mr. Jobs and Bill Gates have acknowledged reading the blog (fakesteve.blogspot.com). At the same time, Fake Steve has evaded the best efforts of Silicon Valley’s gossips to discover his real identity.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the country, Daniel Lyons, a senior editor at Forbes magazine who lives near Boston, has been quietly enjoying the attention.
“I’m stunned that it’s taken this long,” said Mr. Lyons, 46, when a reporter interrupted his vacation in Maine on Sunday to ask him about Fake Steve. “I have not been that good at keeping it a secret. I’ve been sort of waiting for this call for months.”
Obsessions
IMHO, I found reading Fake Steve more fun when I could wonder about "Steve's" identity. ...Now, it's "ho hum." Next.
Sort of felt the same when Watergate's "Deep Throat" revealed himself. ...That was a fun mystery for over 30 years, and everytime I previously watched the movie, I couldn't help but wonder about the real person. I also found it fun that several people did know, but were able to keep it a secret for so long.
Obsessions to know certain things just takes away a mystery's tantalizing fun.
Now, how about a Fake Ballmer?
There already is a Fake
There already is a Fake Steve Balmer - I've gotten emails from "him". :)

Fake Steve Ballmer
Some good grins. I'm glad to have now found the site. ...And, I want to remain mystified about who's behind this "curtain."
