The two are inseparable unfortunately. Business and the actual technology itself are closely intertwined. Talking about technology in a vacuum can be somewhat interesting, but it doesn't work in an online forum. Applications of the technology are going to require business. And if you can't discuss the applications, what will you discuss? An online forum doesn't have enough subject matter experts to solely discuss the technology.
I agree tech and applications of it tend to go together. But dumb business decisions of tech that has gone mainstream like telephones and PCs certainly doesn't have to enter the discussion. And they don't always tie to application of tech.
As a counterpoint, there's still plenty of tech news that isn't necessarily business related for telephones, with constantly developing smartphone technologies. I don't know that going mainstream precludes it from offering good discussion.
