Telling Fact From Fantasy In the World of Apple Rumors

Harry writes "In recent years, fact-based reporting about Apple and its products has been almost completely overwhelmed by gossip, predictions, and speculation — an amazing percentage of which is embarrassingly wrong. I've put together a guide to figuring out which scuttlebutt is almost certainly fiction, and which has a shot at jibing with reality."

"Macs are like Harley Davidson, only a fool buys them new. Get them used and save yourself the expense."

Well, you're a fool ONLY if you are limited in your financial resources.

There are a lot of people out there with lots of disposable cash, even in these economic times. A few thousand dollars to drop is pocket change to them. So, it really is as easy for them to buy a new Harley or loaded Mac as it is for you to buy a slurpee at the local quickie mart.

That's largely the segment that these companies are marketing too....those and those just below them that 'wanna' be that wealthy.
