Fake Steve Jobs Says 'Leave the Real One Alone'
Stoobalou writes "Dan Lyons, who has been lampooning Apple's Steve Jobs for many years, has posted his last item as Fake Steve Jobs and signed off. Lyons, who has been impersonating the messianic Apple supremo in the notorious tech blog since 2006 and even managed to maintain his anonymity for quite some time, despite being a well-known tech hack, has parked his vitriolic pen for the last time." Most people expect FSJ to return if RSJ does.

And let's face it: over the past three years or so, Apple hasn't released a single revolutionary product.
Look, I know it's popular here on Slashdot to act like there's nothing new under the sun, but this statement is wrong and disingenuous. Firstly, I note that you chose your period very carefully to leave out the iPhone. The iPhone really did change phones and handheld computers, Slashdot whinging notwithstanding. However, I suspect you are willing to concede that. In the last three years... well there's the fucking iPad (2010) for one. I mean, look guys, you can deny all you like, but this shit is changing the whole computing landscape. It's going to pretty much usher in the end of desktop computing as we know it for most people. The App Store (2008), was a revolutionary, microsoftware for the masses.
You may think these aren't revolutions because they aren't revolutionary enough for you on a technological level. But they are business and social revolutions.
