Ars Technica is tech Buzzfeed.

Why would you say that? Other than an occasional article like this they seem to have pretty good and in-depth stuff on space, cyber security, in-depth reviews (they're horrible at times I'll give you that)

You might be able to say the same about a much older version of buzzfeed, which I think is OP's point. Ars Technica seems watered down these days. Though I have never followed either source directly.

They may be bad paint names, but I think they would be awesome names for some sort of Ikea-like hipster furnature.

Come to think if it, they would make great names for open source software, too.
