So... Is this one reporter tossing his speculation on top of another reporter's speculation? And now leading to us speculating about his speculation??
I'm honestly amazed we are falling for this. It's exactly the same thing I see every holiday season at the grocery-store checkout: "Psychic reveals which star will die of a drug overdose this year, who is going to get married, and why a giant earthquake is going to flatten Toronto." It's a simple game that delights the rubes. Make a lot of guesses, take credit for the ones you got right last year, and hand wave the ones that didn't come true.
How is this any different?
p.s. Here's a suggestion: Create a poll asking HNers to vote on which wild-assed-guess is going to come true and keep all the talk of vapourware in one place!
