Story: 2005: Apple's 1984?
Does anyone actually care about the rumours? I find them quite interesting myself, along with all the other rumour sites.
So what if he got the info out first, it's the product that matters. Despite seeing the rumour about the sub-$500 mac before MacWorld SF, I've still ordered one. I personally think that Apple have a lot to thank rumour sites for. The amount of hype they build up is great for Apple.
And for those of you who think that the rumours ruined MWSF - if you're stupid enough to pay the ridiculous prices for attendance, however did you manage to switch on a computer in the first place.
