A relative newcomer to the Apple blogosphere, 9 to 5 Mac is quickly becoming one of the definitive Apple intel sites. Today, 9 to 5 Mac displayed a bit of hubris by rightfully ripping into Apple analysts, then offering themselves as a more accurate source of information. The thing is, 9 to 5 is completely right. I have to admit, I had come to trust analyst Shaw Wu. But 9 to 5 shows us some startling facts: Wu's information is correct only about 15% of the time. I'm not sure what made me trust him in the first place. Maybe it was because his information tended to be positive, and I wanted to hear positive info. People tend to believe what they want to hear.
