SPH Magazines acquires Hardware Zone

news.asiaone.com.sg, forums.hardwarezone.com (thread) :

SPH Magazines, a wholly-owned company of media giant Singapore Press Holdings Limited, has acquired Hardware Zone (HWZ), a leading IT media company in Asia, and its subsidiaries for $7.1 million.

HWZ, which provides marketing channels and services to the information communications, technology and interactive entertainment industry, has operations in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Philippines, Indonesia, China and Australia, publishing prolific IT magazine titles. Its stable of publications include HWM, GameAxis Unwired and PHOTOVIDEOi. It also operates popular online portal www.hardwarezone.com which has monthly pageviews of more than 35 million.

- Hmm, IMHO it looks like a case of "The MSM Strikes Back". Some of the forumers are already up in arms. They haven't started talking about "black helicopters", but I'd suppose that's more of an American thing. I don't visit HWZ very often nowadays anyway. I don't buy their magazines. I guess I'd only worry about their ability to continue updating their price lists :)
