... the leaker's claim that "retail outlets usually get the price lists 10 days before products hit the market" is simply not true, damaging his credibility.

New Apple Portables Due Next Week: A Rumor Recap
Technologizer —
... .–Apple will release an $800 laptop. That’s what Duncan Riley’s Inquisitr is reporting today . You always have to be careful about rumors that involve Apple making cheap computers, since it has such a long history of not going anywhere near the bargain basement.

Perhaps the most egregious was published by Duncan Riley of The Inquistr, who insisted that a private source indicated an $800 laptop would be announced today.
