thread title. Just gauging on which site MR members surf more frequently.
 
Engadget for almost everything. I hardly even actually read Macrumors.com anymore - I just go straight to forums.macrumors.com and solely use the forums.
 
The Verge, but Ars Technica reviews science articles and for me is more valuable.

I banned Gizmodo since the iPhone 4 thing, and Engadget has no charisma after Topolsky left to start The Verge
 
I use The Verge more but if I could only pick one it'd be difficult, although I do prefer the VergeCast and the Verge Mobile Show and the 1-10 scale in their reviews

i share the same opinion when it comes to engadget.

curious on why there isn't much love for techno buffalo.

to me, not a fan of rettingers review style. I would put pocketnow over technobuffalo.
 
I generally go to The Verge for other tech news not related to Apple, but when it comes to phone reviews I prefer TechnoBuffalo. I think Jon is a really good reviewer and he actually has some personality, so the reviews don't seem like they drag on.
 
I lurk on MR the most but I prefer gizmado for gaming while for other things I use Techno Buffalo.
 
I choose Engadget, simply because the layout of the website is the easiest to follow. The articles took a hit for the worse a year or so back when a lot of the original staff left, but I've noticed they've gotten better recently.

I really like Jon's phone reviews. For tech news I come here for Apple, Android Central for android, and Engadget for a little of both.

Me neither. I read Mac news on other sites. I come here just to hang out in the forums. I've been here for ~10 years, so there's no point changing!

This website has one of the most interesting, outgoing, and intelligent communities on the internet. My personal experience. :D
 
I get most my news from Engadget and IGN. For reviews, I really like the Verge but I absolutely hate the layout for general news.

I used to frequent Pocketnow, Brandon Miniman does excellent video reviews (the best, in my opinion). I stopped when Brandon stopped doing reviews.

For forums I split my time between here and notebookreview.
 
I have been reading Gizmodo for two years, but following the newest comment system redesign (introduced yesterday), I left and settled on The Verge. It reminds me of the Giz of old, actually, with good, in depth articles.
