Call off the virtual dogs: Andy Ihnatko has gracefully taken himself out of the running for secret writer of The Secret Diary of Steve Jobs. I'd like to say it was the cunning interview I conducted with Ihnatko, but Ihnatko proved more cunning than me, throwing me off the scent by hiding a piece of Fake Steve trivia he actually knew. In the pages of Macworld, however, Ihnatko is unequivocal in his denials, and I believe him. So with Ihnatko revealed as a fake Fake Steve, it's back to hunting for the real Fake Steve. I have one hot but hard-to-believe tip that I'm pursuing, but I always welcome more.

That tip about Denton? That he's got a split personality that even he doesn't know about? And he writes mean things about you and Goatberg on the Intarwebs while binging on Tullamore Dew and Whipits? It's true, poor freak. Why I saw him just the other day trying to eat two super burritos at the same time at Pancho Villa down in the Mission. His head is big. But not that big.
Owen, you fascinate me
I'm pretty sure it's Nick Denton. Covered this here:

There are small hints and mainly, not to take anything away from Owen, I think that Nick is off to continue to run Gawker and prep for the Fake Steve book...
I am on record saying that his writing styke is different than Fake Steve's.

Count me unshocked.
It's Denton--he's FSJ. What better way to throw us off the trail than to make Fake Steve hate gays (or at least one specific gay)?
Denton, without a doubt.
@ScalaWag: Mutual, I'm sure.
Hey, I was right all along :) It was definitely not him.
