Not too long ago it would have been much easier for a publisher to keep all the details surrounding the plot of the new Harry Potter book under wraps till the release date. Now, thanks in large part to the power of the web, scanners and other technologies, it's almost impossible to create an airtight solution. Second, I totally agree with you regarding Fake Steve Jobs. It's one of my favorite blogs. I don't know who writes it and I don't want to know! I worry that if his/her mask is uncovered, he/she will have to abandon the site and we'll all lose out. If you haven't seen it, there's also a Fake Steve Ballmer blog, and for us sports fans, a Fake George Steinbrenner one! I have to say though that the Jobs one is by far the best.
