Conde Nast, owner of Wired Magazine, has bought Wired News. If that seems confusing, it doesn't matter if you have been paying attention.

Lycos bought the online brand, Conde the off, and they were a family by name. My sister was a reporter for Wired News and I watched from a distance as Lycos drove it into the ground. It's more than common sense they come together again. And I hope Chris Anderson gets to hire back all that great talent (no, my sis isn't available).
