Because someone had to defend AtAT...

As the Apple Turns is comedy - it writes about the world of Apple as if it were analysing a soap opera. It's very well written, and makes reference to some very obscure Apple references.
Calling AtAT a rumour site is simply incorrect. Did you actually read the article; they were joking that their 6-month old daughter had guessed about the Superdrive. In the past, they've also made their predictions from soy-based goat entrails substitute
(It's a joke; they're vegans), and whispers from little birds.
They're joking. It's humour. Don't take them so seriously.
Yes, they did say they were disagreeing with all the rumour sites out there, and that was true
about the sites they were referring to: MOSR, ThinkSecret, and AppleInsider. When it comes down to it, MacRumors simply are not as well known as those three. The word "all" was a bad choice, perhaps next time they'll say "all major".

As far as the powerbooks go, who the hell does as the apple turns think they are??????bastards.
An Apple-based humorous "soap opera" site with an author too busy raising his daughter to read the more obscure Apple rumour sites, I'd assume.
The first three paragraphs of Wednesday's first "scene" go towards apologising to MacRumors.
"we apologize wholeheartedly for the omission, and assure you all that it was done out of ignorance, not malice."
That response is considered mature.
"who the hell does as the apple turns think they are??????bastards."
is not.

Looks like MacRumors was the place to be. (Oh yeah, and the kid from appleturns.com. 
As the Apple Turns has been "on the air" for five years.
I understand you're only new to the Mac world, so you might want to hold back on calling the author of one of the older sites a kid...
