Newsweek columnist Dan “Fake Steve” Lyons wrote the Steve Jobs profile for Newsweek’s “The Global Elite” special issue. The subhead describes him as “the ailing creator of the iPhone and iPod”. Lyons has been hammering on Jobs’s health since June. Maybe the guy is in fact ill — I don’t know. But at what point has Newsweek published any evidence whatsoever that he is “ailing”?
Keep in mind that Lyons is the guy who wrote in June, “If Jobso is still running Apple at year-end, I’ll be shocked.”
