He is also the technology editor for Newsweek and the author of the blog Real Dan Lyons. We'll talk to Lyons about his stint as Fake Steve, as well as his take on the current Internet landscape.

In the 1970 science fiction thriller Colossus: The Forbin Project, two giant supercomputers from the United States and Soviet Union secretly join forces to take control of the collective nuclear might of the two countries. In the film, the two machines discover each other's existence, communicate back-and-forth, share their collective data, and cut their human creators out of the process. It is the ultimate example of machine-to-machine communications, or M2M.
