Title: Steve Jobs suggesting iPhone 4 recall

Though the article has since been removed, TheNextWeb shows that the original headline was "Apple boss Steve Jobs reveals iPhone 4 may be recalled."

The purported recall seems to have been something to do with the alleged antenna problem (http://news.cnet.com/8301-17852_3-20008950-71.html?tag=mncol;txt) that seems to have particularly offended left-handed people.

It should be pointed out that, unlike some Twitter accounts, Twitter.com/ceoSteveJobs (http://twitter.com/ceoSteveJobs) is remarkably clear that these might not be the words, thoughts and musings of Apple's CEO.

It declares: "I don't care what you think of me. You care what I think of you. Of course this is a parody account."

Indeed, it might have been something of a clue that on Saturday, he tweeted: "Oh, yeah, everyone's been holding the mouse wrong too." And on Friday, he offered: "People who live in houses shouldn't throw glass phones."


But perhaps the biggest clue might have been given by the number of followers this fake Steve enjoys. Yes, a mere 101,829. If this was the real Twitter account of the real Steve Jobs, surely there might be a few more fanpersons than that.
