Everyone (at least, everyone with any brain), knows not to trust "Authority X" as a single source for knowledge.
The TV, magazines, the government, politicians, corporations, newspapers and more all have an angle.

Can you outline a few DED "reality obscuring" problems? There are literally hundreds of DED articles up on a wide range of subjects, so it should be easy for you to find and describe lots of serious problems if DED can outline half a dozen major problems in a single Wikipedia article. Or are you simply creating a false equivalency and not backing up your accusations with any facts in a lazy effort to discredit actual journalism?
"Google's plans to bypass environmental review backfires
The floating project appeared aimed to skirting environmental review and public planning procedures, regulations that can add significant cost or delay."
There is no evidence to back up your claim that Google aimed to skirt environmental review. It is pure speculation.
"The primary data point supporting the "5c Failure" propaganda campaign is that the cheaper model hasn't been able to outsell Apple's top of the line 5s, as if Apple would prefer to sell the 5c and collect at least $100 less per sale."
From the same article, "Imagine General Motors being upset to find that the majority of its customers preferred to pay a 20 percent premium for an option package that included fancier trim, greater horsepower and a lucrative technology/convenience package."
Your analogy twists the purpose of the 5c, which was to expand Apple's appeal to new customers in the mid-range market. It wasn't intended to drive customers to the 5s, although that trend certainly does benefit Apple.
I'll do some more research later, and I'll be sure to point out your distortions in future articles.

Cook said the mix was off but the 5C did outsell the 4S in the same period last year.
So you know that's what the 5C was suppose to do or are you speculating.
Try to find an original PDF user manual for the Neonode n1m (the phone Apple haters claim is prior art for slide to unlock). They have all been removed, even from Neonodes own support site. The ones you can still find are "edited" versions. What's been edited? The phrasing about unlocking your phone now says "Slide to Unlock". The original said something like "swipe right to accept".
Pathetic that people try to rewrite history of the Neonode by using the same phrasing Apple does in place what Neonode originally wrote. I still have an original kicking around - if anyone's interested I'll post it up.

So when Google lied about its secret plans, hid them from regulators and was then forced by the government to move its illegal construction project out of the Bay Area, you think its "speculation" to report what happened and that’s your best example of misleading the public.
But when people speculate about how many 5c units Apple planed to sell and why, you just know in your heart that Apple failed.
Save your research, I’ve written you off as a Thom Holwerda. You can believe what you like.

That's not evidence supporting your claim that Google tried to skirt environmental review.
Apple didn't fail with the 5c and Tim Cook isn't just any person. If it was CNET saying Apple missed the mark, then I would take it with a grain of salt.
I'll do the research anyway when I've got some time, and I'm going to start with finding out who this Thom Holwerda person is.
only a dumb mother fucker would buy a samsung or android device that cost as much as an iDevice.
WAIT - Onl;y a dumb mother fucker would buy an android device or a samsung device at all
This kind of dumbassery (your comment) is the reason some people hate Apple.
worng- they hate apple because they are poor piss ants. That ain't no shit. Droid dorks who come here and bad mouth apple or try to defend samescum and androidare the biggest losers there have ever been. I am looking right at those droid dorks and they damn well know it, too. if they don't get it I will just keep beating it into their thick fucking skulls with a brick.
I expect to be hated by people who are lesser than me. I shove it in their low life faces and there is nothing they can dip but cry to their mommies. And do they ever! They can't defend themselves against a dominant force like me. I am that bad ass mother fucker that is chasing you in your nightmares bitches. In the end I will piss on their graves.
ALL that choose to use android fall into that category.
He's just trying to prove how subtle, fair-minded, and gracious Apple users are.
I've always brushed off people giving me a hard time for being an "Apple fanboi," but this sort of stuff makes you think, "Oh. Right. Those people. They're the ones that are ruining it for the rest of us."

That’s not something to be proud of.

The whole 3rd person thingy threw him off.

Yes, please post it!

I should have known better. lol
Some of Samsung's devices are flagship models that are on-par with Apple's prices. But not all Samsung phones are like that.
The Samsung Duo Y sold in India, for instance, is roughly $108
Apple does not have any models in that price range. Apple's phones start at $450... but the majority of iPhones sold are actually the $650+ models.
Android phones, in general, have an average selling price of around $300
But the iPhone's average selling price is above $600
It's really not difficult to see why people say Apple's phones are "expensive"
I agree, but the OP makes it seem like all of Samsung's offerings are of the cheap variety.
Look at this entire thread. Look at the amount of time and effort this website devotes to bashing Samsung.
It's really embarrassing that these people exist.
DED is pretty much the Fox News of tech reporting, and everything he writes is a hit-piece.
I start visiting this site, browse through a bit to see when the updates are coming, and then one of these steaming piles always turns me away again.
Without this garbage this site would be so, so much better.
Last I checked some of Samsung's devices cost just as much as Apple's, and in some cases more.
only a dumb mother fucker would buy a samsung or android device that cost as much as an iDevice.
WAIT - Onl;y a dumb mother fucker would buy an android device or a samsung device at all
