News and miscellaneous links:


General computing news sites


CNet News
Pretty much the authority on computing news.


CNewz Unfortunately, CNEWZ is no more.
All the computer news that happens in a day in one place. You don't have to check a dozen sites to see what's new.


C't english pages (I have no idea what that stands for)
C't is a German magazine that does some technical reviews of processors


EETimes
Highly technical industry news


EBN News
Cutting edge technical industry news.


Electic Tech
Your one-stop news site. Hit this page, and you'll know all the goings on in the nerdly community.
Although they may not know to spell


Infoworld Electric News
More industry news.


The Inquirer
Mike Magee's site. Mike was the founder of The Reg. His new site kicks much ass and he "comes strong" with more breaking news than anyone else. So you "better recognize."


Internet World
Can you say e-commerce news? how about B2B?


The ONION
The anti-news - absolutely hi-larious


Red Herring
Industry news with a business slant


The Register (UK)
Biting the hand that feeds IT (get it?)


Slashdot (/.)
News for nerds - stuff that matters
These guys are too 1337 for their own good!


WIRED
They try to be all "hip" and fail miserably . But a good news site none-the-less.


ZDNews
A great site, sometimes a little slow on really technical stories

 

Computing magazines


PC Magazine
Great reviews, but way mainstream, what does that mean? they always recommend ATI video cards: what does that tell ya?


PC World
update - 01/17/01: The funny thing is, PCWorld cleaned up their front-page and now I think I have more links on my front page than they do... The irony...
Their homepage holds the world record for number of links on a single page: 1,253 links!


Windows Magazine (WinMag)
They have a great "WinList" (Editor's choices), do good reviews and have excellent "tips" check 'em out


WindowsNT Magazine
don't get me started - basically 3+ month old magazine articles - last time I checked.



General news sites


BBC
Great world-news site


CNN

The name in news


CNBC
I get stock-quotes here... I guess there are other places to do that...

 

 

Search engines I use

update 02/03/01:
Well I just found out that all search engines (even Google) offer paid placements. It's kinda like when your parents tell you Bill Gates is real... just a little less innocence in the world (and me being a little less nieve).

Do
gpile
Is great becuase you give it one query and it gives you results from 10 or more search-engines - thnx Jeremy.


FAST (ftp - LYCOS)
I don't use this any more - I use GNUTELLA, but FAST is useful if you need to find a specific file by name.


Google
I like google. It seems to work really well. Google "powers" (...ugh) Yahoo now.

infoseek (go.com)
infoseek (go.com) sucks-ass now. I don't use it
They used to be good, but now it gives me so few results and they sell placement so...


Hotbot
Hotbot has a cool feature that lets you search other languages and by "within the last xx days/months... etc"


Yahoo
Yahoo is something else. It's like a listing more than a search engine. If you want to find a certain website or webpage, use yahoo. Yahoo is also great if you're trying to find a certain business.



Search engines I don't use


PC Magazine

AltaVista
Wow - altavista finally bought their domain-name. I remember forever, it was altavista-something/~something... anyway

Excite

Lycos

NorthernLight
get a name

 

 

Finding other stuff

Astalavista.box.sk
find crackz and serialz for software - like if you forget or something


Pricewatch
If you're a techie, you use pricewatch to find the best prices. It's like the epitome of the free-market system.
WARNING: keep in mind people abuse the system, so these are imaginary prices and expect to pay out your arse for shipping. (for example, 128MB PC133 SDRAM DIMM - price: free, shipping: $130. Net cost to you $130.) Just keep that in-mind.


ResellerRatings.com
If you plan to buy from a place you've never done business with before, definitely check them out here first.


TVGuide.com
Sick of waiting for the listings to cycle on channel 99 - see 'em all at once



Formula 1

AtlasF1
A great source for formula 1 news and results

CNN/Si formula1 page
I guess CNN/Si covers formula 1.
