These are some good sites:

http://macdailynews.com (they gather articles from all over the Web--and often add some excellent commentary when the article includes some anti-Mac myths)

http://macrumors.com (they have a GREAT track record for knowing how much weight to put on a rumor)

http://macbytes.com is new but looks promising

http://maccentral.com - particularly the forums: I find them very helfpul

http://www.macosxhints.com
