New I've been asking myself that as well

I mean, if you look at the sites themselves, they seem to be quoting *other* rumor sites for the most part. The way Apple has clamped down on the leaks, it's pretty slim pickings for just one site, let alone all the others.

As to why there are no Amiga rumors sites:

- Not that much (visible) going on in the Amiga world.

Why there are no Windows sites:

- Windows users don't speculate, they just shut up and do what they're told.

Just my opinion, of course.

New Mac Rumor Sites
apparently their bread and butter is to try and leak information from Apple to the public. Like that darn Apple PDA that people keep talking about, or G5 Macs. If Apple shuts down the Mac Rumor sites, where will this lead?

The Amiga has the Amiga One, AmigaOS 4.0, and AmigaDE going on right now. The beta testers and developers have been tight-lipped about it except for a few. Like a guy who claims to have run MacOS on his Amiga One system via Yellowdog Linux and MacOnLinux. But no Amiga Rumor sites, not a single one can I find.
I am free now, to choose my own destiny.
