TheVerge has become my favorite "mainstream" tech publication, largely because it covers actual tech news, rather than self-referential articles about tech journalism.

Ars, Tech Review, and Wired (birdman hoax aside) are very relevant tech publications that cover trends that everyone who works in technology should be aware of.

Like many people here, I get most tech headlines via Hacker News. Sometimes I use Twitter. I used to be a big Techmeme fan, but I've noticed A) the best stories on TM tend to show up on HN first and B) most other TM content is the commodity Apple/FB/gadget news and blog theater that I am trying to get away from.

Upvote, I really enjoy The Kernel and it's been a recent discovery in part thanks to The Verge linking through to them. First new subscription in my reader for a long, long time.

But like all other gadget - news site, comments section is a big turn off.

Macrumors is the only non-hn site where I actually read the comments. They have a lot of really vapid comments too, but the top 10% are good.
