It's only later on that I'll see the other comment that was never confirmed actually POSTED. In short, If I only activated ONE comment, why would there be two?

I don't feel any need for revenge. All I want to do is ask, what was your motive? Are people that bored now-a-days to want to create a rumour?]]>Aug 6th 2007 2:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/05/debunk-punk-kid-tries-to-dupe-gadget-blogs-with-phony-apple-rum/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/05/debunk-punk-kid-tries-to-dupe-gadget-blogs-with-phony-apple-rum/
So, kudos for exposing Gizmodo's foolishness, but.... Ryan, do you not get the difference between C2D and C2D + Santa Rosa chipset? Until the MBs get Santa Rosa (which will happen at some point) they'll be using the GMA 950 instead of the GMA 965 / X3000.

Anyhow, a product announcement in the middle of August ... bah, that seemed obviously fake.

Btw, could someone explain me the relationship between new apple products and a google executive ? o_O']]>Aug 5th 2007 2:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/05/debunk-punk-kid-tries-to-dupe-gadget-blogs-with-phony-apple-rum/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/05/debunk-punk-kid-tries-to-dupe-gadget-blogs-with-phony-apple-rum/Aug 5th 2007 2:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/05/debunk-punk-kid-tries-to-dupe-gadget-blogs-with-phony-apple-rum/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/05/debunk-punk-kid-tries-to-dupe-gadget-blogs-with-phony-apple-rum/
I was wondering the exact same thing about Google and Apple. Since when does Google announce Apple products??!]]>Aug 6th 2007 3:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/05/debunk-punk-kid-tries-to-dupe-gadget-blogs-with-phony-apple-rum/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/05/debunk-punk-kid-tries-to-dupe-gadget-blogs-with-phony-apple-rum/Aug 5th 2007 1:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/05/debunk-punk-kid-tries-to-dupe-gadget-blogs-with-phony-apple-rum/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/05/debunk-punk-kid-tries-to-dupe-gadget-blogs-with-phony-apple-rum/Aug 6th 2007 12:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/05/debunk-punk-kid-tries-to-dupe-gadget-blogs-with-phony-apple-rum/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/05/debunk-punk-kid-tries-to-dupe-gadget-blogs-with-phony-apple-rum/Aug 7th 2007 12:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/05/debunk-punk-kid-tries-to-dupe-gadget-blogs-with-phony-apple-rum/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/05/debunk-punk-kid-tries-to-dupe-gadget-blogs-with-phony-apple-rum/Aug 6th 2007 6:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/05/debunk-punk-kid-tries-to-dupe-gadget-blogs-with-phony-apple-rum/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/05/debunk-punk-kid-tries-to-dupe-gadget-blogs-with-phony-apple-rum/
Sad really. ]]>Aug 6th 2007 7:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/05/debunk-punk-kid-tries-to-dupe-gadget-blogs-with-phony-apple-rum/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/05/debunk-punk-kid-tries-to-dupe-gadget-blogs-with-phony-apple-rum/
Many blogs just eat it all up, whereas with rumors of other manufacturers, these same sites take them with a pinch of salt.

Good on ya Tom.]]>Aug 6th 2007 3:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/05/debunk-punk-kid-tries-to-dupe-gadget-blogs-with-phony-apple-rum/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/05/debunk-punk-kid-tries-to-dupe-gadget-blogs-with-phony-apple-rum/Aug 5th 2007 3:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/05/debunk-punk-kid-tries-to-dupe-gadget-blogs-with-phony-apple-rum/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/05/debunk-punk-kid-tries-to-dupe-gadget-blogs-with-phony-apple-rum/
Given how well known it is in tech-blog circles that Apple are, to put it mildly, taciturn regarding up-coming products and that a large number of these sort of early announcements are false, why would a source supposedly from Google be considered legitimate?
I mean, if Apple don't tell anyone (which is the case), why would Google know?]]>Aug 5th 2007 3:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/05/debunk-punk-kid-tries-to-dupe-gadget-blogs-with-phony-apple-rum/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/05/debunk-punk-kid-tries-to-dupe-gadget-blogs-with-phony-apple-rum/
Good for them for owning up to it.

Good job, Engadget, for being on top the story.

Um, what?! They didn't even do a cursory amount of research on the rumor, and then they only retracted after Engadget called them out.]]>Aug 5th 2007 3:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/05/debunk-punk-kid-tries-to-dupe-gadget-blogs-with-phony-apple-rum/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/05/debunk-punk-kid-tries-to-dupe-gadget-blogs-with-phony-apple-rum/
The lesson here isn't that one tech blog is better than another, it's that because of the nature of blogging, erroneous stories have a much better chance of being published.]]>Aug 5th 2007 7:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/05/debunk-punk-kid-tries-to-dupe-gadget-blogs-with-phony-apple-rum/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/05/debunk-punk-kid-tries-to-dupe-gadget-blogs-with-phony-apple-rum/Aug 6th 2007 7:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/05/debunk-punk-kid-tries-to-dupe-gadget-blogs-with-phony-apple-rum/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/05/debunk-punk-kid-tries-to-dupe-gadget-blogs-with-phony-apple-rum/Aug 5th 2007 4:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/05/debunk-punk-kid-tries-to-dupe-gadget-blogs-with-phony-apple-rum/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/05/debunk-punk-kid-tries-to-dupe-gadget-blogs-with-phony-apple-rum/
