Another vote for Ars Technica. I especially like their general science reporting. ...of course, the experience is different: the stories are reported, and the comments are less useful.
Which I prefer (the more top-down experience of a long, well reported piece, or a more bottom-up approach of a well-moderated crowd) really depends on the subject of the piece.
I have been surprised though, when I didn't expect there were any more viewpoints on a story, only to be proven wrong by the crowd.
... sorry about the typos

I agree -- I find Ars to be a nice balance of science reporting and tech reporting.
I also enjoy the -- typically nostalgic -- editorial comment. E.g., the recent diatribe about the Star Wars expanded universe :)
