    Yeah, that's why these rumor threads, etc, get annoying, because 99% of them are wrong, And people get worked up and excited over them. Only to get mad at Apple when the rumors are wrong.

    In Stocks, we LOVE rumors.

    ie, RUMORS, true or false, drives the market more than the actual news.
    Thats why the saying: "Buy the Rumor, Sell the News".

    I bet, this rumor of i7 on macs droved the Apple stock up

    Is the general idea that we are believing Intel or still hoping for an Apple refresh soon? I read that an Apple refresh might push prices down for the lowend model I'm looking at ; ;

    Comon new macbooks!

    The general idea is to not believe anything until it is actually out. So don't hope on rumors.
