I didn't read the article, but they mearly reported there was a rumor. They aren't claiming any hard facts. For them to be "wrong" the rumor must have never once existed prior to this article.
Get what I'm saying? ;)
If blogs never reported rumors, tech news would be boring as hell and, frankly, there wouldn't be nearly as many articles.
