I'm a newbie to the Macintosh Community. I found out about MacNN thru my brother. If it wasn't for him, i wouldn't have known about this and many other good Apple sites.

What sites do you visit for Apple News?
It could be anything related to Apple.

I feel like their are so many sites out there, and i need someone to tell me. Share the wealth.

My personal favourite is As the Apple Turns (AtAT):

http://www.appleturns.com/

It's not updated as often as it used to be, but it's still the best.

I second http://www.crazyapplerumors.com

It's an awesome site with great rumors about the computer industry (mainly Apple).

Also, just go to rumortracker.com for your rumor needs. It checks popular rumor sites for updates for you.

Someone's already listed it, but MacSurfer is a great place to start as it parses the latest news from several Mac (and non-Mac) sites onto one page and is a good springboard into the various Mac offerings around the web.

No one's mentioned http://maccentral.macworld.com/ yet.

Edit: Doh, just re-read the title of the post... you want OS X specific ones. MC is a general Mac site.

I agree. One of the funniest sites on the web.

My favorites are:

- ATAT

But if you want to see the Mac-Web in Spanish, the BEST site is...

www.diarioX.com
