Story

You get credit for reading the article, but not the summary, in which I myself stated these are old articles but still relevant because it's an interesting topic. Pipedot is not necessarily going to be a source of breaking news; neither is Soylent; neither was Slashdot, neither was/is OSNews. Everything you ever see posted at a site like these is going to contain a URL linking to some site where the news 'broke.' It is however a great place to gather with like-minded nerds and discuss things of interest to us. Me, I prefer interesting topics that examine the big picture of trends and happenings, over a new article and 3-4 comments for every little event. It's more interesting to me to examine the forest for the forest, instead of every single tree.

If you need breaking news scoops, you may either crowdfund my investigative journalism career (I'm going to need an apartment in Silicon Valley, daily living expenses, etc.) - joke - or stuff your RSS reader with the feeds of dozens of major and minor news sources and bloggers, or stay glued to Twitter. Alternatively, if you come across those breaking stories yourself, the "Submit" button is at the upper right.
