From article it seems Google likes to index .INFO domains slower / rise PR slower compared to other domain TLDs.

Do you think it's just gossip or you have your own experiences?

I think if the content of the page is good, not "spammy", it can get indexed as well as any other domain. Especially if it's not porn-related, do you agree?
well if it is your clients primary/only domain i wouldn't recommend it , just for the fact that consumer mindset is set to default to .com (plus it's ugly for a business) but, if they don't mind and are going for pure placement then i'd say .info does not hurt nor help and is the same according to google
