Slashdot's the obvious pick.

Linux Weekly News is another good item for Linux.

My favorite though is Google Tech Talks

I have to agree with jldugger, specially about Google Tech Talks, really great stuff there.

I also follow Dave Jones blog. He's a kernel developer for the Fedora project, and every now and then he posts something cool.

If you're interested in Microsoft products, I would recommend you check out MSDN's Channel9 video blog. There is a lot of great content there on up-and-coming products and features a lot of influentials within the company.
