Hah, glad it's not just me. It's also the thing I hit if I'm trying to think of what I was doing/am idle for a moment... typing 'news.' just seems to flow from my fingers if they're unoccupied.

There used to be a race between Google news (news.google.com) and Hacker News to be the top suggestion for me, hacker news has pulled away to a strong lead recently.
Ctrl-T, N, Enter :/
same here, I visit this site so much that only typing 'N' does the job.
Ditto. Done with catching up on other stuff? CMD-T n enter. When it's perpetual tab gets closed, that is.
Yep, same for me. I'll be staring at the screen in thought, then up pops a Hacker News tab.
I have this habit too and it's deeply disturbing. Actively fighting it!
Why fight it? Visiting a technological/intellectual inspiration source definitely goes in my list of positive habits.
For me, because it can consume my entire workday. Has done that today, really.
