I hear ya.
Sory for going off-topic but I thought this is a good train of thought.

This is the kinda stuff that really matters..congrats, eds. Please keep looking for stories that

1. look into the future
2. not FUD or troll
3. interests the geeks of all flavors and distros
4. have a logical scientific progression of what is and what will be
5. may be come up with some kind of metric to improve the signal to noise ratio that parent alludes to. Tagging might help gauge what the readers think about a story. Here's one that can be a start (good or bad):

For every 10 stories selected, make the following selections: general scientific advancements (4), IT Tech (3), news and current affairs that do not have explicit political trolling (2) and let the last one be anything...whatever the whim seeks. For the whim can generate interesting ideas too.
