(Newser) – Fake Steve Jobs is heading to TV: Online television and film network EPIX has tapped Dan Lyons, creator of the blog The Secret Diary of Steve Jobs, to create a Silicon Valley comedy series with Seinfeld writer Larry Charles. The half-hour show, which will air on the cable channel and the streaming video site, will be called iCON; Charles tells Mashable it will be "nothing less than a modern Citizen Kane."
