This is not startup news.

http://ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html -- it did start out as Startup News :-)
Getting ridiculous? You joined 41 days ago, it hasn't changed that much in a month and a bit.
I hate when people say this. When they registered doesn't tell you how long they have been visiting the site. I probably lurked here reading articles and comments for a year before I finally registered.
Though, I'm not sure what the OP is complaining about. All of the submissions that (s)he has shown an interest in (by commenting) have not been about "hacking."

You know, you're absolutely right. Even though this is a community-moderated site whose front-page articles are controlled by community voting, you, coned88, longtime user of 41 days and 15 karma, and you alone should be allowed to determine exactly what is and is not "on topic".

If you don't like it, go elsewhere, and stop polluting HN with your complaining.

You must be testing some trolling or flame-war detection app?
why hack if you ain't going to start?
Not sure what you mean. This is not a hacking site. Its a site for hacker news. Its not for startup's or information about google voice, nor for an explanation about iPad economics.
err yeh, as mentioned in the other post, startup news is exactly what this place is.
YC is a startup seed fund / incubator, most of the first users were all from YC companies, as shown by your "90%" figure most of the current users are still interested in startups, its original name was startup news and a lot of people still call it that.
slashdot / programming reddit / lambda the ultimate might be better places if you want purely programming news.

what exactly do you expect "news for hackers" to be?
Keep it on topic, this site is getting ridiculous.
