The New York Times' online version sadly requires registration. However, I urge members of the SEO community to put aside their fears and sign up, as the coverage from the technology section is of top-notch quality.

Despite often lagging behind other news sources, including the blogs and forums, the New York Times has access to the full depth of people involved in any particular story. What's better, the interviewees for these companies are not as close and closed-minded when speaking to the paper of renknown, and will give more candid information. Sadly, they do charge for access to articles in the archive, so I suggest getting a daily feed.
