QDateTime FortuneTeller::tellMeExactReleaseDateOf(SoftwareProduct softwareProduct) {
  Q_UNUSED(softwareProduct);
  QDateTime result;
  QDateTime currentDateTime = QDateTime::currentTime();
  qsrand(currentDateTime .toTime_t());
  int exactDaysFromNowOn = qrand();
  // magic offset applied - required for marketing hype!
  result = currentDateTime.addDays(exactDaysFromNowOn + 42);
  return result;
} 

The Good Thing(tm) from above method: it can be applied to /any/ software product release date! Even for hardware release dates! With slight modifications it can also be made suitable for market predictions and stock prices!

Glad I could help! ;)

Cheers, Oliver
