When you have personal blogs posing as news and freelance writers that don't qualify their background experience or accreditations, you get rumors, misinformation, and disinformation. Intel is doing damage control caused by a rumor that apparently was started by Kazuki Kasahara who does not cite his sources. Intel makes no such announcement and Kasahara never mentions getting a leak from inside Intel. It wasn't Intel that made the announcement. Tis the "advantage" of free speech: you get to hear what anyone wants to say. So who was it really that started the rumor and should be held responsible for what they said? Yousuf (here) who announced the xbitlabs report? xbitlabs who reported on some freelance article at the Japanese PC Watch web site (http://pc.watch.impress.co.jp) whose report came from other sources and so on? xbitlabs didn't bother to give a direct link to the PC Watch article so I'm guessing this one might be it: http://pc.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/c...22_574440.html I don't read Japanese so I'm stuck using Google Translate. Do you see the PC Watch article mention any sources for their article? Is not revealing sources something typical of Japanese journalism? Is the title referring to Japan's "Information-technology Promotion Agency" (IPA) or is that just the section at this web site in which this article got categorized? Is this just someone's blog posing as news? Who is Ikki Kasahara (from the title)? Is Kazuki Kasahara the author of the article? The site doesn't provide links on their names to provide an identity for someone they regularly employ to report at their web site so you could check on their past articles, if they have any, to see if they ever do quantity their sources. A search there on those names turned up nothing. At https://twitter.com/KazukiKasahara, he claims he is a "Technical Writer" where his customer (employer) is PC Watch. What are his accredidations as a journalist? This looks like him, too: http://www.linkedin.com/pub/kazuki-kasahara/8/b21/913. So what are the qualifications to be a "freelance" technical writer? Are there any? At the LinkedIn site, a link points back at PC Watch for his "personal website". That's just a profile at PC Watch listing his articles there. Even after using a bogus e-mail address to create a LinkedIn account which is supposedly needed to see the full profile at LinkedIn, there wasn't anything addition to discover. He treats LinkedIn like a Facebook page. The professionals I've found there usually include their resume which lists their accreditations. If legal responsibility were enforced, I'm sure they would point the finger at another resource on which they based their report (but didn't identify) and so on down the chain until it got fuzzy and with no leads for sources coming from Intel itself. If pressured, Kasahara might tell us from where he got his source of info. I wouldn't be surprised that it came from other blogs posing as news articles. If Intel had said they were going to move all production to BGA then the so-called reporters would have referred to the Intel announcement. Because xbitlabs doesn't give a link to the actual article to which they refer (which makes vague the source for the xbitlabs article), I'm only guessing it was Kasahara's article on which xbitlabs based their article. They fed off an article that doesn't prove itself by reporting the sources that claim what Intel is doing. "Then, one big change is that the generation is not available Broadwell LGA, which has been for the desktop PC and the other in terms of the platform. As already mentioned, because it is only available in BGA, Broadwell generation, the package will not be available as well ìPGA LGA." Already mentioned WHERE? Was it from "According to the information of muscle OEM manufacturer, ..." in that same article? So we have an author claiming some unidentified major chip maker (just one) said something. Well, maybe that is true for that one chip maker who might be focusing their production quota on CPUs for the Xbox. One author flubs and Intel should be held responsible? Uh huh, sure. (Yeah, I noticed your winkie but wanted to see where the rumor started.) |
