No. Marketing effort implies coordination, that's why most announcements 
are embargoed until official release date. It does not prevent insiders 
to know, but they can't tell or they get their butt kicked by their 
management.

Oh yes they do. They sometimes *choose* to not care, but only when they 
know that they don't fear litigation.
