Dan Lyons, the man behind Fake Steve Jobs, is one clever but crazy dude. The Newsweek reporter has made a career, first anonymously but now very publically, of criticizing Apple at every turn. But when there were doubts regarding the real Steve Jobs’ health, things went haywire, Lyons got into a fight on CNBC for which he was banned from ever appearing again, and he eventually took the site down pending Jobs’ recovery. Now that Jobs is back on his feet, Lyons is back in the blogosphere, tackling the tech titan with all the force he’s got. Technically, though, this isn’t really too much of a feud, or at least it hasn’t been all the time. Real Jobs remarked, "I have read a few of the Fake Steve Jobs things recently, and I think they’re pretty funny," at last year’s All Things Digital conference.
