Funny you should ask that.  I suddenly started wondering that myself this
past weekend, and after a bit of trying to trace who told what to whom, I
realized that it's some kind of hardware equivalent to the urban myth:
everyone knows someone who knows the guy who saw/read/met or otherwise knows
whatever-it-is, but "the guy" himself is like Macavity the cat.

Even now there's stuff like this out there in otherwise respectable sources:

The good news is that we're within 2 days of knowing.  I plan on watching
the live feed if I can juggle my day.  Curiosity.


 
Shalom.
