Reminder: Who Are These People?

Monday, January 24th, 2011

In the last few hours I’ve received a number of messages congratulating me on a “great piece” about the Kennedys — and on Chinese manufacturing, and on what’s up with Steve Jobs. To which I say, Thanks! And I guess I will take credit — though not for writing a word of this. Merely for having invited such interesting guest voices here for the next run of weeks. But as a reminder, the people you’re actually hearing from this week are John Tierney (about the Kennedys ), Phil Baker (about manufacturing and product design), Lane Wallace (about Steve Jobs et al), and Jorge and Paula Guajardo (on Chinese topics soon). Their backgrounds and brief bios are here . I’ll pass your compliments on to them. And if you click the “Email Fallows”[sic] button above, you can get comments to them directly.

Fake Steve Jobs: Leave Real Steve Jobs Alone

Tuesday, January 18th, 2011

Dan Lyons, a technology writer who made a name for himself by maintaining the Secret Diary of Steve Jobs blog for many years, is hanging up his hat; he’s called it quits. In a moving post on The Daily Beast, Lyons wrote that, with Jobs on an indefinite medical leave from Apple’s day-to-day operations, it’s time to respect his privacy. As for me, well, I’m sorry, but I just can’t bring myself to snoop around about Jobs and his health. I know his old partner and friend, Steve Wozniak. And I just can’t bring myself to call Woz and ask him what he knows. I’m sorry. I know a surgeon who has worked at Stanford Medical Center, where Steve Jobs has received a great deal of his medical treatment. But I won’t ask her what she’s heard. For one thing, she won’t tell me. For another, all the hot showers in the world could not wash that stink off me. I won’t ask my friends who work at Apple what they know. I’ve never asked them for any inside information about Apple. We’re friends. I respect that. They don’t know what’s wrong with their boss. They’re just feeling awful. I know the feeling. Today I’m feeling awful, too. Read the full story at The Daily Beast .
