Whoever here wants to start an alternative to TechCrunch that doesn't dengenerate into crap, say aye. Hell, even a well-researched blog would kill techcrunch, mashable and all those shameless corporate/startup whores who pose as journalist.
Although...Yahoo should have came out and dispelled the rumours as soon as they circulated or released their own press release as soon as the presentation was finished.
I think both parties here are to blame; journalists (or supposed journalistst) should hold themselves to a higher standard and actually investigate instead of merely reporting rumours, and corporations should make sure they control their marketing/media message.
