Steve Jobs in mimic mystery

Book deal now!

MEDIA HACKS are desperate to know which of them is penning a mock diary of the Apple's spiritual and temporal leader Steve Jobs.

The parody has been getting a large number of readers and according to the New York Post, the author has just wound him or herself a book deal.

To prevent the real Steve Jobs suing, the book has been called "Options: The Secret Life of Steve Jobs - A Parody by Fake Steve Jobs."

The advance is estimated to be only $75,000 which as far as advances is concerned is not much.

Valleywag.com had zeroed in on Leander Kahney, the Wired News managing editor, as the person most likely behind fake Steve but Kahney denies it. He told Valleywag that they had accumulated so much evidence, he was half convinced himself.

According to the NY Post, all that can be confirmed was that the column is not being penned by a Wired staffer.
