After Rewrites, Google Wallet Still Has Holes

Seconded. The news is available from many sources, and is usually not all that new by the time it hits the /. front page. If one wants breaking news, /. is not the site to use as a primary source. It's the (oft maligned) /. community that is the real attraction here. Just tweak the hidden/abbreviated thresholds to a comfortable setting (2/3 when not moderating, personally) and much of the noise that people complain about is filtered, and what remains is usually of sufficient quality to inform, entertain or enlighten.
