Technical press - what to read and trust?

There seems to be plenty of online press these days, especially about technology and Internet. They publish news, rumors, opinions; bashing someone and praising someone else. And when there is another such article is sent around, there will always be someone who says "Ahh, but that's written by X, and they are not reputable at all". On the other hand, if you want to read the most reputable or interesting one - how do you find it?

So, why don't we use the power of Google Moderator, a platform to rate opinions and questions based on votes, and see what does the majority of you think.

Please vote up the sources that you recommend, vote down the sources that you don't, skip those that you don't know. And add new sources (by clicking "Submit a suggestion" down there) if they are not in the list. Note: you need to Sign in with your Gmail (Google account) credentials; it's valid.

Some rules for additions: add only English-language sites; don't add news aggregators, just original news sources; don't add "general topic" sources, add their technology/internet section; make sure you follow the format "Name of the site - URL - short description" (description can be omitted). If you see this post in Google Reader, click through to see embedded page.

The direct link to the Moderator rating page is http://bit.ly/techen. For Russian-speakers, there is http://bit.ly/techru for Russian-language press (and notice that in the embedded Moderator you can click on "Russian" in the left navigation).

Important: the rating is better when many people vote. Please share the link to this post, or direct link to the Moderator page, or embed it into your blog posts (see FAQ answer 11).
