Macintosh News

I read these every day, usually in this order.

Dave Winer's Scripting news
This is the first place I go every day. Dave is the author of Frontier, the first and best system level scripting language for the Mac (soon Windows too). I love his DaveNet articles.
Dr. Fun - today's comic
LOL!
MacOS Rumours
These guys get the scoop on Mac news before anybody. I read this even though it's on the MacSurfer page.
The Fly on the Mac
More good Mac rumours.
Welcome to Webintosh!
Another site that I read even though it's on the MacSurfer page.
MacSurfer's Headline Newsª
News central for the Macintosh. Pointers to Mac-related articles, summaries of a bunch of other sites. Pointers to every Mac site imaginable, and pointers to other computer industry news.
MACaroni
I don't remember what sets this site apart from the others. I only remember that it's fun to go here.
MacSpectre
Another fun Mac news site.
Packet: Garfinkle Archive (Tuesdays)
Simson Garfinkle writes an interesting essay almost every Tuesday.
Apple Quote from nasdaq.com
A fast, free, 20 minute delayed Apple stock ticker.

Mainstream news

The New York Times on the Web
My favorite web-based newspaper. You need an account to read it, but accounts are still free.
Mercury Center
The San Jose Mercury News. Even when I worked for Apple, I heard about lots of Apple scoops here first. They charge for their breaking news. Sluts.
Columbia County Forecast
Proabably not interesting unless you live near me.

Mac news memorial

These sites are no more.

The MacOS Daily
The MIC (Macintosh Internet Connection)

Ric Ford's news page. Used to be the first thing I read after Dave Winder's page until I noticed it was on the MacSurfer page

Upside Online - Daily News
Today on HotWired!
Wired Magazine's web site. I love the magazine, but I rarely visit the web site.
Apple takes the NeXT Step
This is now called yet another Mac Zine or some such. I've kept the name it had around the time that Apple bought Next.
Rhapsodic!
Rhapsody.Info - Mondays
