You mean, like when its name was changed from "Startup News" to "Hacker News," maybe?

Shall we call it "General News" now?
I'd think that this discussion is significantly more hacker-y than many of the others here. I mean, I can see your argument: HN is obviously becoming more and more mainstream, and hence, articles will tend more and more in that direction.

This article, though, isn't one of them.

It's very geek-ish, not so hacker-ish.
