MacCentral

MacCentral was a web site that provided news and information covering the Apple Macintosh, originally as an independent entity and later as the news service for Mac Publishing Web sites, including Macworld.com and Playlist, before being subsumed by Macworld's own brand.

MacCentral was founded by Canadian businessman Stan Flack and Jim Dalrymple as Associate Editor in 1994.
