He was probably Steve Job's most respected tech journalist. That's saying a lot. When the early iPhones launched, only a handful of journalists had a review device; Mossberg was one of them.
As opinionated as Jobs was, Mossberg was one of the few people where he would not criticize nor argue when Mossberg had feedback for Apple products.
I didn't know there was a female/male distinction. In my defense, Wiktionary says: In the original French, the masculine form né should be used when the subject is masculine. In English, this distinction is not always followed.
But even ignoring gender I still kind of screwed it up. I was really going more for "a.k.a.".
And I'm quite sad that so many downvoted the Mosspuppet. I really loved that character. He really added some fun to the otherwise somewhat stuffy Walt Mossberg.

I bet most people thought you were coining a derogative term for Mossberg with the implication he was a puppet (mouthpiece) of Jobs/Apple. Not a literal puppet character. (I know I did.)
