Newsweek staffer Daniel Lyons apologizes for Apple interference claim
,----[ Quote ]
| To Levy, "this is like hiring Rush Limbaugh
| as your White House correspondent" and
| expecting to get interviews. Lyons's "most
| notable professional accomplishment is a
| vicious satire of Apple."

Caution: Full-Blown Fool Ahead

| Imagine...an operating system that runs totally outside of Windows...how
| silly.
|
| You will note that there doesn't seem to be a way to comment on
| his "blog"...and maybe that's by design...or maybe this is just a satire blog
| like Fake Steve Jobs. I don't think so...Our Forbes Editor who got outed as
| the Fake Steve Blogger is simply a mean-spirited @$$-Whole who spend about
| two weeks after the "outing" explaining how he had been taken out of context.
|
| About 90 or 100 times by my count. I am guessing this is the kind of guy who
| got his kicks as a kid sticking firecrackers in a cat's collar and watching
| the mayhem. Our Fool in Full is just plain addled...I have no other recourse
| but to guess that, given the type of stuff he is writing and passing on
| as "technical knowledge". And I quote:
|
| "Linux is a marvellous operating system in its own right, and even
| comes in several different flavours. However, as good as these flavours

"Fake Steve Jobs" is Daniel Lyons, in case anyone wants to sue

| Maybe we should be, since this is the man who wrote about the "evils" of
| anonymous blogging in "Attack of the Blogs", where he said that blogs
| are âthe prized platform of an online lynch mob spouting liberty but spewing
| lies, libel and invective.â
|
| Um. Dude. Talk about world class hypocrisy.

| MediaNews did buy the Mercury News with a loan from Bill Gates' foundation,
| and is in the process of paying back that loan by publishing information
| without much journalistic or technical integrity.
|
| Specifically, I wrote âOne might think that the San Jose Mercury News, being
| located in Apple's backyard, would tend to trumpet the company's success. One
| would be wrong... Apple's corporate proximity to San Jose is trumped by the
| Mercury Newsâ need to publish low cost, highly sensational news to make
| enough money to pay back Bill Gates for the favor of his humanitarian loan.â
