Those survey's are always biased. It's just way for lowendmac to get other sites to link to them.... sites that promote the link more get better ratings since their users are the ones voting.
i liked maccentral up until they became part of macworld. now it gets difficult to filter out the objective crap from the sponsor-driven crap. plus, they have to have the most user-unfriendly forums ont he 'net.
i forgot about "as the apple turns." it sucked for readers when they took, what, 11 months off? but i guess the same will happen to me when i have my first kid, too, and his writing quality certainly makes for a good apple-based read.

Just read MacMinute like I and many others do. The creator of MacCentral, Stan Flack, set up MacMinute after he sold out to Macworld/IDG. IMO, MacMinute is even better than the original MacCentral. I haven't had a need to read the Macworld-affiliated MacCentral in ages.

Oh? Actually LowEndMac got #15 with sites like MacSurfer rated ahead of them. And they say, basically: LEM went down to #15. With all the new sites, we're not suprised. Basically saying the new sites are better for a lot of people.
Comments
that's it. they monitor everything, and usually have all the news you see everywhere else minutes (or sometimes hours) before the others.
and "As the Apple turns" sometimes

Appleinsider for socializing.
I also visit ZDnet just to get amused at what the other side is saying and doing. Unbelievable reality they have I tell you.

ArsTechnica (sorta has some Mac stuff)
Macnn
MacCentral
AppleTurns (best reporting of them all)
PowerPage
Architosh
iRumors
Apple.com (not much news, but at least it is trustworthy)
However, this is the only site that I actually post at.
