Live from Apple's 'Let's Rock' event in San Francisco - Engadget: "Live from Apple's 'Let's Rock' event in San Francisco | by Joshua Topolsky, posted Sep 9th 2008 at 12:30PM
10:38AM 'This couldn't be more fun, hundreds of games. Here's some you haven't seen before. I'm going to start with a game that just shipped... Spore. The iPod touch version, 'Spore Origins'.' Man they love Spore.
10:37AM A clip from 'Iron Man' -- 'And I can go to the App Store and download games. We've got a treat today.' He's inviting Phil Schiller on stage. Phil's going to demo some games it seems.
10:36AM 'Let me show you some of this stuff.' 'I'm going into music, I'm gonna pick Green Day, 'American Idiot' -- tap the Genius button...' This looks real familiar. They are pushing this so hard. Hmm, Hendrix? Not exactly like Green Day, is it? And now U2, okay, that makes a bit of sense. Refresh brings up a whole new list. 'It's pretty nice.' 'I can make playlists on the touch. Let me go to movies, let me remind you how great it is.' Oh yeah, we'd forgotten how good that looks. Thanks."

Fake Steve and the power of blogs
Helge: I've been posting about the FSJ several times during the day both in English and Finnish. I feel that Tech journalism is heading into a new direction. To get attention, writers have to be entertaining and need to differentiate themselves. Fact and fiction makes a good combination, good storytelling skills are needed. The stars of the blogosphere have to do something extraordinary.

Fake Steve and the power of blogs » mathewingram.com/work: "Fake Steve and the power of blogs | Posted by Mathew @ 11:59 am on August 6 2007 ·Twitter is an important way to gather the daily news of Twitterland, the blogosphere and Tech gossips...
By now, anyone who isn’t living in a cave probably knows that the blogger behind Fake Steve Jobs has been exposed as Forbes writer Daniel Lyons. If you need to find out more, you can read one of the eight thousand posts about it on Techmeme. I’m not all that interested in finding out FSJ’s secret identity — in fact, I was kind of hoping he wouldn’t be found out.
What I find really fascinating, like Anil Dash of SixApart and my friend Joey deVilla from Global Nerdy, is that Daniel Lyons is also the guy who wrote the Forbes magazine screed about blogs not so long ago. Does that make him a hypocrite? Perhaps — although I would argue that, like many magazine writers (or newspaper writers for that matter) Lyons likely took a stance for the article that he knew would be controversial, as a rhetorical device, and may or may not have actually felt that way personally."

The Secret Diary of Steve Jobs
Helge: Now they know who the Fake Steven is. New York Times disclosed him, Brad Stone.
The Secret Diary of Steve Jobs: "Well it had to happen. Honestly I can't believe it's taken this long. But as you may have heard, I've been busted by a newspaper reporter. My cover has been blown. Guy named Brad Stone, who works for the New York Times. Have you heard of him? Well, tip of the hat to you, Brad Stone. You did the sleuthing. You put the pieces of the puzzle together. You went through my trash, hacked into my computer, and put listening devices in my home. Now you've ruined the mystery of Fake Steve, robbing thousands of people around the world of their sense of childlike wonder. Hope you feel good about yourself, you mangina. One bright side is that at least I was busted by the Times and not Valleywag. I really, really enjoyed seeing those guys keep guessing wrong. For six months Dr. Evil and Mr. Bigglesworth put their big brains together and couldn't come up with the answer. Guy from the Times did it in a week. So much for the trope about smarty-pants bloggers disrupting old media. Brilliant. My only regret is that we didn't get a chance to see Bigglesworth take a few more swings and misses."
