If you are a tech enthusiast, probably your feedreader is already overflowing with news that you cannot simply catchup with. With gazillion technology websites out there, it is too difficult to cope up with the information overload. At the end of the day, you will end up reading the same news from multiple sites, thus wasting your time.
The following are the only sites that I scan everyday to read the technology news. My observation is that you won't miss out any important news if you visit only these sites.
ArsTechnica. The best technology news site. Alongwith latest news, they also give in-depth analysis of technology developments, which are very insightful and thought provoking. There are regular articles on new CPUs, gaming devices and news coverage specific to Microsoft and Apple and also open source in general.
Engadget. This is the place where you need to hang out if you want to know what is the latest and greatest gadget out there in the digital jungle. Technology with an extra dash of humour is just irresistible.
Techcrunch. This blog is a must read if you want to know what is the latest/emerging trend in internet or technology in general. Michael covers new VC investments in startup companies/companies which go out of business/companies which are up for sale in ebay etc., which generally gives you an idea of what is hot and what is not.
Slashdot. Nerd hangout. More than the stories, the nerds flock this site for the quality discussions that happen on each of the article that is published. Must read if you want to know "more than just the news".
Lifehacker. Not necessarily a technology/gadget website. If you spend atleast 8 hours of a day in front of your computer, this weblog is a must read. Their coverage includes the latest software that you can download for your PC/Mac, tips and tricks to efficiently use your computer and ideas to make your online life much easier and simpler.

Agreed. They’re all in my feed reader. Though, to be fair, I got around 300 feeds there :).

Great summary! This will be helpful for those of us who aren’t so technical.
Excellent list and great submission for the ProBlogger Group Writing Project. I think this is what I like best about projects like this, discovering all the blogs you might not ever visit otherwise. If you are interested here is a link to my submission, Top 5 Sins. It isn’t what you think
