Ars Technica is a technology news and information website created by Ken Fisher and Jon Stokes in 1998. It publishes news, reviews and guides on issues such as computer hardware and software, science, technology policy, and video games. Many of the site's writers are postgraduates, and some work for research institutions. Articles on the website are written in a less formal tone than those in traditional journals. Ars Technica was privately owned until May 2008, when it was sold to Condé Nast Digital, the online division of Condé Nast Publications. Condé Nast purchased the site along with two others for $25 million and added it to their Wired Digital group, which also includes Wired News and formerly Reddit. Most of the website's staff work from home. A significant number work in Chicago, IL, and the San Francisco Bay Area. The cost of operating Ars Technica has always been funded primarily by online advertising. The website generated controversy in 2009 when it experimentally prevented users who used advertisement blocking software from viewing the site. Ars Technica has offered a paid subscription service since 2001. Wikipedia [ - ]
