Conde Nast Buys Ars Technica

Well, I guess there is a little bit of acquisition fever going around the technical press. Yesterday CBS acquired CNet Networks, and today Conde Nast acquired Ars Technica. Conde Nast owns Wired, and this means that Ars Technica will basically become part of Wired.com. The news was broken by TechCrunch, who report they’ve confirmed it. The price is unknown, but TechCrunch believes it is around $25 million.

So, where’s my buyout offer? ;-)
