The Register
Mobile Versions here:
Sometimes called el reg (no idea why) The Register is a UK centric IT/Technology news portal that has a tabloid 'red top' style about it.
A bit cheeky / sarcastic, old skool maybe, but I like it as the stories make perfect sense if you have been on-line for a few years and have seen some of the battles / gossip unfolding between Companies. El Reg like to expose information about Apple, Facebook and other 'trendy' companies when they goof up basic privacy, security, law blunders - the type of thing that would sent your average person to jail but Big Business wriggles out of, by way of la dosh (most probably)
Only observations I've made that I have to report is that they aren't apple 'fanbois' so a different slant to techcrunch who are. The readership sound like networking professionals - techies/IT sort rather than the hobknobbing/social media variety.
They appear right leaning, but as a left leaner myself they don't come across as too right, so it's not a daily mail experience for the curious leftie looking for some entertaining news.
If you like TechCrunch (as I do) you will probably like The Register too, as they are different in many ways but have a similar sense of humour, ideal for UK people that feel a bit far away from the States to relate to Silicon Valley.
