Really? "Street" is a pretty common term for Wall Street (aka. the consensus opinion of analysts) I've definitely seen it for years.

    other languages also use things metonymously, so maybe hating human cognition is a safer bet.

      Right on. You don't know what you are talking about.

  I had no idea what it was. Presumed it was some new startup.

    That's like suggesting we should dumb-down computer programming article titles so people ignorant of the article and anything it contains might somehow get an inkling what their missing out on.

  I'm used to seeing it in financial news. But this is a tech site. Different audience. Just like how I cringe when I see terms like "the cloud" in Business Week or one of those magazines.

    Well it's an article about quarterly earnings, it's OK to use financial terms.

  "the Street" or "Street's estimate" or something to provide more context. I also thought "Street" was some tech thing that was competing against some Microsoft business line.
