I feel like many of the other so-called Tech Journalists are bound a little by what their publications think that consumers want to hear. That means that they need to write a review of the iPad and iPhone 4 even if 1000 others are writing the same thing. To me, it keeps some of these people from writing anything original (honestly, how do you stand out when you are writing the 422nd review of Windows 7?)
Since The Atlantic is a monthly magazine, they have to approach tech from a slightly different angle. They aren’t quite as focused on the latest review or newest product, but more providing in-depth analysis that isn’t being covered elsewhere. In addition to Fallows, The Atlantic just built a “Science and Technology” channel on their web page (http://www.theatlantic.com/science/) that really fits with their overall approach to technology. There are some short, blog-type pieces for some time sensitive material and more in-depth pieces that fit with their magazine.
Below are a couple interesting pieces from Fallows that show why I think his work is unique and top-notch:
- On Google and the News: http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2010/06/how-to-save-the-news/8095
- On China’s Cyber Warriors: http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2010/03/cyber-warriors/7917
- On Wiring Western China: http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2008/10/how-the-west-was-wired/6990/

M$John is not beholden to any corporate or political interests, which allows him to freely opine, analyze, deconstruct, criticize and comment on items of interest today.

M$I would add David Pogue (he has only over a million Twitter followers), and Clive Thompson to this list. Clive has written some excellent articles for Wired Magazine, and David Pogue is the top for the New York Times, and has written several books. What I like about Clive is that his words just flow, and the columns are so easy to read, as if you were right there with him. I would add a few others to the list, yet don't think they are writing tech anymore, and they did not have as large as an audience. When I used to read the Plain Dealer frequently, Chris Seper had an excellent tech column. Nowadays, it's hard to keep up with newspaper tech columnists, as there is so much noise going on with blogs.

As an engineer, it strikes me that 'technology' has become almost synonym with internet technology and consumer electronics. It rarely refers to space, military or energy technology, to name a field advanced technology areas.
This video also shows David Pogue, he's not only well written, he sounds good with his voice.
