Dear Dice, please let us know when you have something that wasn't reported in the major news outlets a day ago.
If you are coming here for cutting edge news, then you are in the wrong place.
The only reason I come back here is for the discussions about the stories. While I typically seen the major news pieces in other locations (and with more in-depth reporting than will ever be on /.) I haven't seen a site that comes close(*) to the /. comments section for it's structure, moderation and (gasp) insightful comments.
Many times I let the comments brew for a few hours and then read the ones that have risen to the top of the moderation system. That can give me a lot more insight into the background of a story than anywhere else.
* Yes I look at Soylent News every so often, but there is a tenth of the commenting there than there is here.
