Where do you get your tech news?

[Arcadio]

I need more sources of tech news. I use the Appy Geek app on my Android devices, but I want specific websites as well. What do you recommend?

 

[lxskllr]

Ars is my favorite tech-centric news site. It's kind of generalist, while still centered around tech.

also ars

any other websites like it?

extreme tech is another good site for tech

Not that I'm aware of. I also like reddit for specific niches. The quality's highly variable, but you get links from all over the web, and can get fine detail on subjects that get glossed over by a generalist site.

 

[OCGuy]

Tec' is kind of a broad term.

 

[MongGrel]

I like ARS myself, but wander a bit.

 

[ChAoTiCpInOy]

The Verge. Engadget. If you want some specific Mobile news, MobileNations might be good. They have separate websites for each OS.

 

[Miramonti]

ars. I find /. annoying.

 

[norseamd]

I get linked to them a lot from some subreddits. They have good overviews of policy and law.

None I specifically remember. Reddit is just user submitted links from all over the web. Blogs, big sites, manufacturer websites... They could be from anywhere, and you sometimes get a gem from an otherwise unremarkable site.

 

[T9D]

This is seriously the only tech site I read.

 

[boomhower]

Engadget if I'm on my computer. Engadget and The Verge on mobile apps, The Verge's website is way way to busy. If I feel like reading some nonsense I'll fire up BGR.

 

[HeXen]

PCworld, Cnn/tech, tech news world, Gizmodo and too many other sites to remember.

 

[norseamd]

try www.gizmag.com

 

[norseamd]

what is a good site for emerging technologies and future predictions

 

[PastTense]

For a general tech news aggregator site:

You might try a general news aggregator site like
http://popurls.com/
or for the Tech oriented news:
http://popurls.com/tech

I have Ars, Slash and a few other sites on RSS feeds.

 

[norseamd]

why does business and it news take over the term tech?

 

[rudeguy]

Twitter

Otherwise Google News tech section.

 

[Kaido]

Engadget.

If I'm bored:

The Verge
Gizmodo
Gizmag
Dailytech
ARS
Google News - Technology
Anandtech

I'm very hardware-oriented, so I mostly stick on Engadget. The Verge has some interesting in-depth articles at times, and I like to catchup on Gizmag every once in awhile just to see new toys. Gizmodo is fun, especially their new Sploid section:

http://sploid.gizmodo.com/

But mostly just Engadget.

Maximum PC and PC Perspective. A shout-out to Ryan and the gang! Their podcasts are fun and informative.

Gaming tech: IGN, Youtube, PCGamer, Gameinformer, anything else
PC tech: I don't search PC tech, I only look it up when I want to buy something new
TV tech: I honestly like CNET quite a bit, still pretty standard fare
Cell tech: I don't research cell tech, I look it up when I want to buy something new
