Rumor Sources Guide

[SuprUsrStan]

It'd be kind of neat to keep a running list of the most common rumor sources and their accuracy. Just like a tab for the buyer's guide, we can get a tab for Rumor's Guide with sources like Mac Otakara, Ming-Chi Kuo, Semi Accurate etc. and graphically rate them based on their accuracy percentage. That way, we can get a better feel for if what they have to say is more or less trustworthy. I'd recommend each rumor counts independently ie. iphone has edge to edge display, iphone has integrated touch ID, iphone has OLED display.


Thoughts?

Hey,

We actually built this out a while back, but it ended up being pretty complicated. In terms of there was a lot of gray area... where part of a rumor might be right, etc.

Right now, the best we have is we do consolidate rumors based on source, using a tagging system. And provide a brief write up on the source when it's a big one.
