No attribution to the original author, not even a paraphrased version, just cut and paste. Not the first time they have done something like this. That pretty much says it all but if you search on here you'll find lots more examples.
Note that in this case the information they posted was good information, but they have been known to take rumours or even explicit speculation (i.e. poster says they are speculating) in posts here and post it as fact or probable fact.

And sometimes they just plain get basic specs wrong, like saying a display is capacitive when it's IR.
