Nick DePlume You may remember a while back that anti-Apple bigot Jim Louderback announced that PC Magazine would be picking up Think Secret and then touted their accuracy. Apple Matters writer James R. Stoup has done the leg work I should have and broken down just how accurate Nick DePlume has been.

11 correct predictions 8 incorrect predictions 11 missed announcements

When they actually guess things, half the time they’re right. On top of that, they regularly miss what will be coming out. Sometimes Nick gets good info, but it’s impossible to tell when because all too often, it’s wrong or missing. Just to be clear, let’s not try to associate rumors and accuracy. By definition they’re rarely accurate. Let’s not forget he wasn’t privy to the Intel switch.
