Don't expect the game to come out after a year it is announced.
Why not? SC 2 is coming out a year after it is announced (supposedly)
And Warcraft 3 was released in 2002 with an expansion in 2003 and WoW came out in 2004! If this can be done, then anything is possible.
I'm tellin' ya, Blizz is fixin' to suprise us in a big way!
Diablo has been silenced for too long.

Well from a marketing standpoint, a "World of" game is still not out of the picture. Market share (mindshare) means more to big businesess than dollars earned. 'Xerox me a copy'...anyone? Is the copy machine you use a xerox anymore, mines a sharp but you don't ask to sharp me a copy. In the 80's honda made both the interceptor motorcycle and the hurricane. It dosen't steal money from blizzard for gamers to buy into another, or a different, product. How many people in these forums hate WoW? But you'll buy D3, and thats just another account in the bank of Blizzard.

Fake. First, using a proven piece of fan art doesn't help their credibility, then they claim to not be Diablo fans in the first place. Yeah, right. They're just using reverse psychology to make this BS sound more credible. I mean, you'd expect fake reports to come from fans, so by saying they're not fans, they're hoping the report will have a bit more distinction and mystery to it. Secondly, never believe anyone that claims they "know someone". How many times have we heard this before? "My friend's cousin's pest control technician's poolman knows someone who works for Blizzard and they said Diablo III is 10% done!" Gimme a break. The people that are in the industry who work on secret stuff, whether it's upcoming Blizzard games or the latest spy planes DON'T TALK! Period. Finally, the idea that Blizzard needs to wait until SC2 is done before devoting more time and people to it is just not true. With Blizzard being the juggernaut that it is, the production of these games is compartmentalized into separate teams. We've been told this many times from the official sources. Also, if I had to guess, I think the next Diablo game is much further along than 10%, and any guess would have more credibility than the article.

It's the decisions you make when you have no time to make them that define who you are.

I think that’s the beauty of it all…until there is definitive proof, it is always speculation.
