    What PC/ Tech sites do you read regularly?

    At the risk of being a bit of a "playa" of Hexus' competitors (sorry admins) i read quite a few tech news sites every day, and it's very easy with firefox's 'Open all in tabs' option. I have a secondary folder for non-daily sites that i use from time to time.
    What do you guys have in your daily list?
    For me it's
    Anandtech
    Bit-tech
    CustomPC
    Dan's Data (how one man can be such a god is incredible)
    Hexus (natch)
    HardOCP
    The Inquirer
    PCW UK
    The Register
    Silent PC Review
    Toms Hardware
    Trusted Reviews
    Digg

    Some of those admittedly are not daily news sites, but when Dan or SPCR do add content i want it straight away.
    I love tabs!

    Re: What PC/ Tech sites do you read regularly?

    Here, as in the forums.
    Slashdot.org
    Engadget.com
    coolsmartphone.com
    thinkbroadband.co.uk (formerly adslguide.org.uk)
    dpreview.com

    Few others I used to read, like ArsTechnica, ElReg etc. but never bother now.

    I can't understand - HEXUS gives you all of it - and if it is relevant we build it

    Re: What PC/ Tech sites do you read regularly?

    I did notice the increasingly large number of recycled theregister articles, minus the tabloid crap they're hosting lately!

    I check hexus.net and hardocp.com myself.

    Re: What PC/ Tech sites do you read regularly?

    Do all the news posts make it to the forums?

    I have to admit that I just wait for everything to appear in "New Posts" and rarely visit the main front page or the new channel page.

    I have actually but I have also noticed that there was a lot of .tv stuff which is a pain at work as I have no sound. I always go to the home page before the forums, many an interesting item.

    I also check the register and toms from time to time.

    I only read digg, slashdot, adslg. Althought adslg doesn't update very often.

    MSIC, that's a lot of reading!

    Re: What PC/ Tech sites do you read regularly?

    All in no particular order:

    Ars Technica (Interesting articles and to catch the latest WebbAlert episode)
    OSNews
    FlexBeta
    Warp2Search (purely for the headlines and new driver releases - it's not as bad as it used to be)
    Engadget
    Gizmondo
    Guru3D (occassional reviews but mostly for watching new driver releases)
    ThinkBroadband
    nV News (not too much going on there these days but I still visit daily)

    Oh and some weird site called Hexus which, for some unknown reason, I end up staying at whilst logged into my PC, refreshing both the main and forum pages throughout the day. Yep, all of those plus some random sites 7 days a week.
    My only concern is should I hide my true identity? A costume maybe?

    0iD: Plus weeing in it every now & again does it good
    scaryjim: 10" is just a little large to hold comfortably in one hand, which makes it a lot harder to tap, swipe and generally interact with.
