Groklaw had a clear bias and that could be corrected for. Their clear explanation of legal minutiae such that even a layman could understand it, and their attention to detail is why I follower their coverage.

I do not believe there is a completely unbiased source of news, No true Scotsman and all that...

Never noticed how much I used Google goggles until I reached for my phone to scan the (nonexisting) qr code from the page.

There is already an established market for "White Meat" and ThinkGeek is just breaking into it. It's not their fault Pork has created a binary market. It would be akin to Bing entering the search eng... Ah fudge it, it's Unicorn Meat!

Who said putting your feet up is bad manners?

A sizable* chunk of society? We're talking about "social conducts or rules defined by society" here. They may make no sense, you may not like them, but you still have to live in a human and social world.

It may be overly casual, familiar, or informal

I just had a 40 minute bike shed moment thanks to this question.

How else would you indicate strong disagreement with a comment given the HN culture of well thought out replies and a zero cost binary device for weighing in on an issue, when you have nothing else to contribute other than "I disagree"/"I do not like your post"?

Historically, It was the site to go to for day to day coverage of SCO V. Novell.

Personally, I go for the very well researched, though strongly biased, articles on issues pertaining to FOSS and licensing.

Particularly telling is the link on the left hand side of the site labeled "About Groklaw" where it states "It is Pamela Jones personal Creation" and "The information on Groklaw has been prepared as a service to the FOSS community in particular and the general public. It is not intended to constitute legal advice. PJ is a paralegal, not a lawyer."
