Honestly, it feels like the MacNN signal to noise ratio is getting extremely low. The front page now contains MORE electronista headlines than Mac headlines. Useless things to a Mac owner like "AT&T Stores to use Microsoft's touch screen computers." I came here for Mac/Apple news. Not AT&T news, not Dell news, no, not even Microsoft news. If I wanted electronic gadget news, I'd go to electronista.

Between that, and the over-the-top sensationalizing in the articles, and I find myself using MacNN less and less for my Mac news.

Oh, welcome to 2006.

I stopped using MacNN for Mac news two years ago, I just found it not useful anymore. Seems like in the meantime, it has gotten worse.

Ok, to be honest- I also rarely use MacNN for news any more. Someone had posted a thread about legacy.macnn.com, which I checked out, and the nostalgia of back when MacNN used to be useful as a mac news source came flooding back. I took a look back at the current site, and was reminded of how bad it is now.

Yeah, me, too.

I get the important news from the Lounge - some dolt will always make a new thread with important news

I never used MacNN for news, only forums. I much rather visit one of the rumor sites for news and analysis. At least they're dedicated.
I could take Sean Connery in a fight... I could definitely take him.
