    Regardless of how tough Dan Lyons is. Newsweek should have let him post or at the very least just had him edit . Who knows it may have actually doubled the amount of people reading the Newsweek tech section. Albeit from six readers to twelve.

    He did the right thing. Newsweek pays the bills unlike a dopey blog. You cant do things halfway. I’m sure he’s frustrated as a writer, but his family comes first.

    Why get upset about it? Nobody gives a shit about Yahoo anyway. Yang can suck on a shotgun for all I care.

    This is your site Loren and I think it is a testament to you that some of these negative comments don’t end up in the trash bin. If it were my blog I’m not going to lie I’d be tempted. CT Moore how can you say “who gives a shit?”? Obviously you do. There was plenty on your blog that I found uninteresting but why would I comment “Who gives a shit?”? That would be a waste of my time. It may be that you are so used to Loren knocking it out of the ballpark on topics you are fond of. Fake Steve Jobs is relevant to the blogosphere as he is a semi-well branded name unlike CT Moore. I would never have found your site if it wasn’t for the link in your inane comment.

    Blogging IS a tough business. Which would be fine if my dopey blog paid the bills.

    I never even took the time to read his blog. I really don’t care about him…at all.

    Fake Dan Lyons is better than the real dan lyons. Kara rocks. Love how she said that she was gentlemen about it. Is she the guy in her partnership?
