MacCentral
Apple Insider Some fun forums here.
Mac Rumors prolly the "best" rumor site.
These aren't great, I'd like some more of MacNN quality myself.

I only bother with MacNN.
Other than that, though, if I cared enough about Apple news to keep up to date on it, I'd probably do the rounds of MacNN, Mac Ars, and the Apple section of /..

I generally only go to MacSurfer, MacNN and As the Apple turns for all my news, comentary (MacNN:Forum), and humor (very essential for being a Mac user).

Don't you guys find a lot of repetition in these sites? I mean, if something is newsworthy for one Mac site, generally it's newsworthy for them all. Are there news sites that are unique in any way?
As for forums, Macnn destroys the competition, IMO.

I use NetNewsWire to get RSS feeds from MacNN, MacMinute and MacRumors and that's all.
MacMinute is normally about 30 minutes to even 2 hours quicker on the news than MacNN and they update on the weekends more. But MacNN does at a lot of App releases.
MacRumors because I am waiting for those dang PowerBook price drops or updated G5s. once one of those happen, it will just be MacMinutes and MacNN.

Here, of course.
MacRumors - Its becoming more of a news site than a rumor site, and a damned good one at that.
Inside Mac Games - Thank god this site exists, it proves we have more than Tetris.
AppleInsider - I go here more for the forums than the news now.
MacUpdate - While not actually a 'news-news' site, it is kind of a software news site.
