They're certainly not bad (and what I subscribe to in RSS) when one considers the field.

A lot of it is very US-centric and some of the 'rumours' aren't very news-worthy (the numerous stories on dock connectors for the iPad 3 come to mind) but it's far more like a news site that works mostly on facts (well, as close to facts as rumours can come) than mere speculation and conjecture. Arn, the guy who runs it, is an MD which might explain the difference to an extent.

Haha, hi there! Perhaps I was a little harsh in my comment - I really do like your site.

Hey man, hope you enjoy the props :)

1. What's an MD? A doctor of medicine, as my dictionary suggests?

2. There's certainly a lot more personality shining through the posts of Jordan Golson. Just an observation.

Keep up the good work!
