Your favorite computer web sites
OK what I'm intrested to know is your favorite web site's to do with computers, like your very own top 10.
The site might have be one that gives good reviews, cheap retail prices on hardware, great advice (like this fourm  ). Really any site that you think is worth passing on to other people who are intrested in computers.Please remember to say what the site is good for e.g. www.honestreview.com - gives fair reviews |

Slashdot. It can be pretty biased, but as long as you can see through that, it is an excellent source for tech news, especially Linux and OSS news.

After Toms Hardware got busted for fudging benchmarks a few years ago making their sponsors look better I stopped reading them.
For the most part I'll browse www.hardocp.com as well as the www.hardforums.com, www.anandtech.com, and www.slashdot.org |

When I'm ready for 'computer learning time', I open-apple click my 'Mac Stuff' folder. The following show up in tabs.
InsideMacGames - Game reviews and such VersionTracker - New neat crap MacSurfer - Mac news CarpeAqua - A Mac TFPer  MichaelHanscom - The guy who took pictures of G5s on the Microsoft campus. I also tend to visit MacGameFiles, xlr8yourmac, SpyMac, Resexcellence, SecureMac, and TomsHardware at least once a week.

betanews.com I pop in there daily to look through the list of new betas/shareware that're out. Usually they'll post helpful items too (like new adaware reference files)..

Thanks for that everyone, the response has been awesome already, by my count 21 different web sites. It’s nice to see plenty of review sites to be able to get an even balance on products. I’m sure site likes rojakpot will come very useful and you can’t beat free stuff, so I’ll be giving betanews a bashing.
Though this thread I’ve found some sites that are new to me, hope that some if not all of you have gained from it and I’m looking forward to see what else others come up with. |

www.theinquirer.net -- more tech focused than The Register, which leans towards UK and Europe broadband news.
www.hardcop.com -- When Kyle Bennet isn't going off on an ugly rant, it's a great source for hardware reviews. www.arstechnica.com -- In-depth tech coverage and a very informed forum. And whatever comes up on Slashdot.

Normal tech reviews and such, I go there more for the articles then news. Ars Technica Probably one of my favorite tech related sites. Great in depth articles and active forums. Driverheaven If you own an ATI VPU check this one out, home of the Omega drivers. This is one of the better ATI related site out there. Rage 3D Another great ATI resource, probably the most comprehensive around. mozillazine For all things Mozilla related (Firefox, thunderbird, mozilla). MSFN Some good Microsoft related stuff here. News and tech guides. Slashdot You all know this one.  |
