The Register Gulps Down Blocks and Files

September 1, 2008 By Stephen 2 Comments

News today is that powerhouse IT publisher, The Register, has snapped up storage industry reporting up and comer, Blocks and Files. Included in the deal is amusing editor/writer Chris Mellor and the back catalog of editorials. Left to rot are the sponsored (?) advertorials and regurgitated press releases. B&F will become a new storage-focused Register section. I imagine Chris’ trademark snarky wit will be quite welcome under the vulture mascot.

(how’d I do, Chris?)
