`Fake Steve Jobs’ stops blogging as the ‘Real Dan’
The Associated Press 
founder Steve Jobs would be like as a blogger. Now there’s more sad news for readers who savored his biting humor: The erstwhile “Fake Steve Jobs” has decided to stop blogging as the “Real Dan Lyons” after he was reprimanded by his bosses at Newsweek magazine for an acerbic remark about Yahoo Inc. The trouble started Monday evening when Lyons assailed Yahoo for giving him what he believed to be misleading information while he was writing a Newsweek piece last month. Monday’s announcement that Yahoo founder Jerry Yang had decided to step down as chief executive riled Lyons because Chairman Roy Bostock had assured him just a few weeks ago that Yang “is the right person to continue to lead Yahoo. ” That sounded different from this statement Bostock released Monday: “We all agree that now is the right time to make the transition to a new CEO who can take the company to the next level. “Citing his Bostock interview and other perceived deceptions, Lyons compared Yahoo’s public relations team to dishonest bags of dung — only in much more colorful terms.
