For those who don’t know it yet, there’s a really funny, well done, and that sometimes put the finger where it hurts when talking about Apple and more precisely about Steve Jobs. The one who knows it are already thinking about “The Secret Diary of Steve Jobs“, a delightful blog to add to your feeds if it hasn’t been done yet.
Regarding this website, there’s been a manhunt that started a few months ago to find out who’s the one behind it. It’s been adding even more spice to the whole story as several websites have been trying really hard to figure out (like Valleywag) some just reporting about it (Gizmodo and Engadget nontheless) and some going very strong not to let anyone know whom it is (like TUAW)
So, this whole story reminds me of the late 90’s when two Websites, AppleInsider and especially the late Mac The Knife who were really strong on rumors but, regarding second one, was also excellent on publishing stories about the inside of Apple in a time where, to my opinion, the Apple inside stories where much more exciting than today (yes, we were all hoping, wondering about the fate of Apple and the stock was… not going that well, remember ?). And this whole run for the Fake Steve made me think that lots of people were dying to know who was behing those sites which we never knew.
So, anyway, in honour of those great time, I’ve decided to auction the first part of my collection of Apple Fan t-shirts with 2 very special pieces, one that is from the unforgettable Mac The Knife MacWorld parties (certainly harder to attend than Apple own party) and an Apple Insider Banned in Cupertino one that was edited after the famous “coup” they made by revealing the famous Apple Cube to the world just before its official announcement.
