At the moment I just use The Register and the Beeb.

I like the dry humour and sarcasm in the register, and the fact that it covers proper stories, rather than a heap of product releases, like Engadget. Having said that, I do generally pop over to Engadget and see what they have to say about new stuff on the market.

All of 'em, and PC Advisor as it's a good mixture of all of what you've mentioned, Nick :)

I occasionally visit tuaw.com or cultofmac.com.
But even those have become too iPhone centred, for my tastes, of late.
Other than that, I don't.

Fix the theme on your site Tom! :D

I don't use any tech news sites tbh, other than here and if something interesting comes up on google.

Depending on how bored I am, I sometimes visit Computer Shopper and PC Pro but these days it's mainly the Beeb and I'll follow links from the News section here.
