Clearly, they do hate the rumors columns. Sadly, though, developing sw or
hw for any machine, you have to be verrrrrrry careful of who you tell
what.
But from a user perspective, rumors columns server 2 purposes. 1) Whether
to buy product X now, or wait to hear more about a rumored better product,
(assuming that the purchase of X is not an immediate need, but an
I-Want-It! situation), and 2) As grist for the mill of
Wouldn't-it-be-great-if… that developers themselves keep their eyes on.
Particularly from 2) above, there is adequate reason not to hate the
rumorists.
