Last Bytes: Jerry Yang, Fake Steve Jobs, U.S. Senate, more...

-- Jerry Yang is totally not resigning. But he would do well to heed the sagacious words of Jack Flack. In the immortal words of Randolph Duke: "Sell, sell, seeeell!" [SAI, Portfolio.com]

-- Real Dan Lyons is totally resigning -- from being Fake Steve Jobs, now that he is heading to Newsweek. Look for Newsweek to snag an interview with Real Steve Jobs in about, oh, 10 years. In the meantime, go buy this collection of Fake Steve's greatest hits. Namaste, Fake Steve! [FSJ, Blurb.com]

-- Newsflash: Google and Microsoft agree!...on the need for "broad privacy legislation." [AP]

-- The U.S. Senate will hold a hearing on Yahoo's proposed search advertising deal with Google next Tuesday at 10:30 a.m. Be there or be square! It's like Christmas in July for tech-obsessed C-Span junkies. Not that I'd know. [U.S. Senate]
