Your favorite tech news topics and websites?
Posted: Sun Apr 12, 2009 10:11 pm
As much as I prefer to produce things I like to read about how various technological aspects of humanity are progressing. Tech news is just plain fun to read and I'm sure each of us have various topics we prefer.
As far as topics are concerned I'm big in to hardware and I have a minor interest in the politics that effect technology to some extent. I also try to keep tabs on clientside technology (really if you know me then you know it's going to be years before I start complaining about the limitations of PHP!
) as I'm always pushing the limits of most browsers.
As far as websites for tech news are concerned I sort of follow Tom's Hardware though participating in commentary hasn't been all that rewarding. I used to read /. but it's nothing more then a cesspool of hormonally imbalanced griefers whose idea of karma is minimally two chips short of a motherboard. I think style wise I like Ars Technica. Fudzilla has my favorite format for hardware news. The Inquirer is a news site I frequent (British tech news site, not the taboo story "magazine" or whatever). I also frequent browser rendering engine blogs: IE blog, Opera Desktop Team, WebKit blog, mozillaZine (which has been mostly dry for a couple years now), the official Mozilla blog on occasion, and the KHTML blog on very rare occasion. Google's tech news section is another generalized tech news page I go to.
