this is pretty much how my conversations go when I tell people that I want to buy a 3d printer.

One reason to justify Google's cut is that on an advertising deal where the Advertiser gets billed for each click (CPC) on his link on someone else website, having a reliable third party to count the clicks is very important.
Click fraud is what makes Tier 2 CPC networks really risky for advertisers even if CPC are much lower than Tier 1 (Adwords, Bing).
Regarding your Adsense example, was there not a mention like "Ads by Google," "Sponsored Links," or the AdChoices icon ? In that case, it makes clear that it's not a natural link.

Actually it goes like that:
You own a website, I own a website. I pay you $100 to show your visitors a link to my website. The link is presented as an organic, non paid link. =BAD
You own a website, I own a website. I pay you $100 to show your visitors a link to my website. The link is presented as a paid link, with a no follow attribute. =GOOD
On a side note, your breakdown of the Ad Revenue using Google as a middleman is wrong. If you pay Google 100$ (via Adwords) to decide to show ad on my site, I will get 68% of that 100$ and Google will get 32%

Bitcoin newbie here, so it's probably something obvious, but can I buy Bitcoin from this app ? I wasn't sure if the "receive Bitcoin" meant that.

I prefered the 2012 version. The blue titles stood out more and made it easier to scan the articles of the front page in one go

A good way to avoid articles on those big companies is to start reading "region specific" startup blogs or "topic specific" startup blogs.
Some of the blogs I follow:
by region
Arctic Startups (Scandinavia) http://www.arcticstartup.com/
Rude Baguette (France) http://www.rudebaguette.com/
Silicon Allee (Berlin) http://siliconallee.com/
by topic
Tnooz (Travel)http://www.tnooz.com/
Search Engine Land http://searchengineland.com/
3D Printing Industry http://3dprintingindustry.com/

when you write Adsense, do you mean Adwords ?

I use http://ihackernews.com/ on my mobile. The only issue is that sometimes comments are not displayed because the app reach the api requests limit.
Any similar issue with your app ?

It doesn't look like anyone knew...
