Buyouts & SuperGlue

83

Word from this morning (dunno why we missed it) is that CNET is buying out ZiffDavis. (Gamecenter buys GameSpot basically) The deal is for a wimpy 1.6billion dollars. Not sure where this leaves Microsoft in the whole thing (They had a big share of CNET) but if we're lucky... well.. yeah. Also, a few people have sent in word that there is some whispering going on about NVidia looking at buying up what is left of Aureal. More word on that when I can find it. Lastly, Maarten had a bad experience earlier this week. Poor guy.
