Q&A, advice, reviews, and news about the computers, phones, TVs, stereos, and pretty much anything else that can't be easily whittled out of a stick or chipped out of stone.

AP Wire
The Associated Press... its where most of the major news orgs get most of their info anyway.

Most of the time, though, I just listen to NPR on the way to and from work. It's a little more non-biased than the other commerical news orgs.

/. isn't actually all that great a site for news. They're an aggregator, and have very few of their own articles, and since they just collect and filter submissions, they're usually a day or so behind other sites, if not more (unless it's something REALLY big :))
If all else fails, use fire.

I use gamers.com or ultimategamez.com for gaming news. The rest, I get in the paper, if I bother to read it. :D
