David Letterman pokes fun at Steve Jobs’ new liver
I usually don’t think David Letterman is that funny, if at all, but his joke last night about Steve Jobs was pretty good. CBS won’t let me embed the video (bastards!) so you’ll have to head on over to their website to check it out. Forward on to about 2:25 seconds in to see the […]

Comments Off on Fake Steve Jobs is back, turns attention to recent liver transplant, pokes fun at David Pogue
Dan Lyons has returned to pen a few new posts for his popular Fake Steve Jobs blog, this time writing an admittedly funny entry about how NYT Tech columnist David Pogue was the one who donated his liver to Jobs. Lyons is clearly bitter over Pogue’s relationship with Apple, but it’s a funny post nonetheless. Lyons’ […]

Sunday, June 21, 2009
Fresh off reports that Steve Jobs received a liver transplant a few months ago, Joe Wilcox wrote a piece trying to articulate why “Steve Jobs’ return is still vaporware.” In other words, Wilcox believes that the source for the Wall Street Journal’s scoop came from inside Apple (fair enough) as a means to manipulate Apple’s […]

Comments Off on The place where it all got started – Steve Jobs’ garage
Birthplace of the Apple I, Steve Jobs’ garage was where it all got started over 30 years ago. Earlier this week, Brazillian based Apple blog MacMagazine hit us up with some info about a trip they took to California to go on what seems to be a tour of Jobs’ places of residence, old and […]

The Wall Street Journal reports on Steve Jobs’ illness: While Mr. Jobs has been on sick leave, some Apple directors have gotten weekly updates about his medical condition from the CEO’s physician, according to a person familiar with the matter. Mr. Jobs’s recovery “is coming along” and he is on schedule to return to work […]

Thursday, June 4, 2009
Last week we reported that the upcoming Palm Pre can sync with iTunes, a move which we labled as “terribly shortsighted” on the part of Palm. After all, Apple can presumably issue an iTunes software update which would effectively prevent iTunes from recognizing the Pre, leaving Palm customers confused and annoyed in the process. But […]
