For something more broadly IT related, there is The Register. You'll have to forgive their intentionally over the top, tongue-in-cheek, british tabloid writing style (I've noticed a bit of this has rubbed off on Ars lately). If you can look past that you'll find that they do a really good job of staying up to date with industry news.
Technology Review is nice, but having a hard cap on the number of articles I can read per month for free is just a huge no-go though. I get the Wired approach of blocking blockers (even if that is triggered by every company firewall I have ever been behind...) as that still provides content for free. Whereas these approaches strongly encourage catering to a specific demographic which tends to drastically limit the kind of critiques and coverage.
