News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

That's a good point, and I applaud the Wall Street Journal for their journalistic efforts. I'm thinking we should get a WSJ subscription in our company.

I'm not so sure if Hacker News should be an outlet for breaking news. The HN platform is not very well suited for real-time news in general.

Myself, I use Hacker news for "daily important news" much less than breaking news.

I don't like getting into word definition argument but doesn't that information about Samsung fall under the daily important news rather than the breaking news ?

Yes, it does. That's why I'd like to see a link to a free source (that doesn't require one to pull ostentibly illegal tricks to read the contents) rather than an advertisement.

Ah, my bad. I misinterpreted.
