Pet peeve: Dan Goodin's malware journalism is worthless, imho. It is just worry-mongering with very rarely (never?) anything actionable. Don't bother reading any of it, except to look for enough identifying information to find a reputable analysis somewhere else.
Not sure I'd go straight to "worthless," but it is often unnecessarily breathless.
My pet peeve (which extends far past Ars Technica) is the announcement of a vulnerability without an examination of the risk-management variables. Re-announcing CVEs is a brainless task; putting them in an appropriate risk context is actual reporting and analysis.
