Anyone know a good place online to read scientific news? [http://www.sciencedaily.com](http://www.sciencedaily.com) has a good site as it is from a more technical point of view and not glossed for the layman. My only problem is that it is only updated once a day, so after the morning I’m at a loss for anything good to read.

Here’s an idea: [http://www.findarticles.com/cf\_0/PI/subject.jhtml?topic=ref](http://www.findarticles.com/cf_0/PI/subject.jhtml?topic=ref) search through old articles in these periodicals and read them for free. Scientific American ( [http://www.sciamarchive.com/html/ppv\_frames.asp](http://www.sciamarchive.com/html/ppv_frames.asp) ) has this feature, but you have to pay.

I like [http://www.physicstoday.com](http://www.physicstoday.com) and [http://www.newscientist.com](http://www.newscientist.com)  
Since The Sciences ceased publication (an outrage!) the NYAS claims they’ll publish online, but there’s nothing at [http://www.nyas.org](http://www.nyas.org) yet.

This is more of an IMHO than a General Question.
