New stuff on Techradar: Local news is dying – and why you should care.

It’s not an either/or thing: knowing about the latest tech from across the pond doesn’t mean you don’t care about what’s happening in your town. But you can only care about things you know about.

Also, I’ve updated the browser battle piece to cover the new Chrome 2 beta and the final release of Internet Explorer 8. I still think Firefox is the best everyday browser (on PC) right now, but Chrome 2 is seriously bloody quick. On slower PCs or netbooks, that’s the one I’d go for.
