I loathe infinite scroll. It puts you at the mercy of the site doing browser caching right (no one does) otherwise you click on a link, click back and then have to start from the beginning again.
Even Apple gets this wrong (you'll reach a point going through the Top Charts in the App Store where pressing Back reduces you back to the first 10 results).
Pages can be bookmarked easily, which can be incredibly important. Paging is also easier for crawling (otherwise it requires some JS evaluation or other hackery).
DZone is a good example of a site that annoys the crap out of me with infinite scroll.

Seriously, cut that shit out.
