• The Inquirer - Don't let the names similarity to the tabloid fool you, this inquirer has very up-to-date information about happenings in the technology world.
• Anandtech - Similar to X-bit Laboratories, perhaps more well known.
• Lockergnome - Chock full of information for any Tech nerd, run by ex-Call for Help figure Chris Pirillo.
• Whatis.com - An IT encyclopedia.
• Newegg - Hardware for bargain prices, service can't be beat.
• Arstechnica - PC News and Reviews.
• Tom's Hardware Guide - The name says it all.
• Whois.sc - Domain name information and IP tracing.
• DynDNS - Free HTTP/FTP domain name service redirection. I use it for my remote desktop.
