It was but only because Apple had no choice. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5307169

No, you're linking to a thread about the Mac Pro, not the MacBook Pro. :-)

Whoops, you are correct. The updates to the MacBook Pro are still trivial and no site is considering it to be an major upgrade/update. The Mac Rumors tracking site separates the MacBook Pro and the MacBook Pro Retina for this reason.

This site is a rip off of the work that macrumors has been doing for several years. See: http://buyersguide.macrumors.com/ At the very least they should provide a credits link somewhere on their page.

Actually, the entire reason I made this site was because I thought the way MacRumors visualized the data wasn't very good. If they had done a better job, I wouldn't have needed to make this. As for credit... what should I be crediting them for? I'm just collecting a list of dates and then visualizing the data.

A simple link at the bottom saying, "inspired by macrumors.com buyers guide" would go a long way towards giving credit to the original concept. You can even even embed the url, so it's just a small font, "inspired by" to keep the page clean.
