I agree Keyle. This is exactly what I said above and got greyed out for (deleted post above). I don't have time to read useless crap on here. I come here for good, useful content about startups and tech.
HN is very easy to shill vote up on own posts though, and I suggest thats what is happening here. A large part of its quality came from its obscurity.
It's becoming famous and its time to make a new one.

You joined less than a month ago, and you have a karma average of 1.59. You do realize that you are part of the influx of people who are bringing down the quality of the site? Pot, kettle, yadda, yadda...
Genuinely curious, if you don't have time to read stuff like this on here why bother clicking? Seems like you could solve your problem and others by not clicking.
The quality aspect comes from the people who participate on here, not its obscurity.
BTW, stories about a large company getting hacked is relevant to a site called Hacker News.
Nobody said that you have to read the top articles. If the title looks like 'something from digg/reddit' to you, skip the article, and the thread. Complaining about the article's relevance to HN contributes nothing to the discussion. If you are unhappy with HN, nobody is forcing you to stay
