I think this one is OK -- and personally if I see another article about how awesome or evil or dickish (or whatever) Facebook/Twitter/Microsoft/Google are, or about how shitty News Corp handled Myspace, or simply showbiz/yellow journalism junk (i.e. pictures of Jobs meeting with Schmidt) I think I'm going to puke.
But there's lots of offtopic articles (i.e. not related to startups or hacking) everyday -- complaining about it just adds more noise and is completely pointless.
I didn't complain. Simply took action to help fight noise and hoped to rally others to do the same. I consider a report of Yet Another Earthquake in Japan to be off-topic. We have mainstream news sources for that. And if it's truly important, that sort of news will find us. Through other channels.
