    • mooseontheloose, on 03/16/2008, -4/+1No it won't, even if you could get in on it early enough to make a difference (which you couldn't).
  • harvinator24, on 03/16/2008, -9/+1no way this is true, digg was supposedly getting offers for hundreds of millions of dollars.
  • SerenePhoenix, on 03/16/2008, -6/+1If this was submitted over 19 hours ago, surely it should have been announced through some kind of official channel by now especially if an NDA has already been broken.
  • ShootTheCore, on 03/16/2008, -4/+10I did NOT see that one coming...
  • TheWorm, on 03/16/2008, -6/+8Next week we'll see Kevin and Alex wearing leather jackets, expensive sunglasses, and they'll be flashing the keys to their new Porsches.
    • Pake, on 03/16/2008, -1/+1Don't forget the $4500 escorts they'll be rolling with.
  • MillionsLivio, on 03/16/2008, -5/+3There goes the neighborhood...
  • OBKenobi, on 03/16/2008, -6/+5Just be glad it wasn't Yahoosoft.
  • DietMountainDew, on 03/16/2008, -4/+2I enjoy a lot of their shows.. But I hope that CNet will be able to progress company more, I'd love to see new features such as live shows added.
  • iamtehwinnerz, on 03/16/2008, -8/+1who the ***** are they...
  • Cubedude04, on 03/16/2008, -5/+1If it's anything like what happened with gamefaqs when it was bought up, the entire whitespace of digg is going to contain adverts.
    • aburd, on 03/16/2008, -1/+2This isn't digg they are talking about...
      • Atomic1fire, on 03/16/2008, -1/+1Diggnation will reak of adverts?

  • camkerr, on 03/16/2008, -6/+1Scoble's twittered it http://twitter.com/Scobleizer/statuses/772184299
  • earthsphere, on 03/16/2008, -5/+2This is quite surprising - I really didn't see this one coming. Hopefully Rev 3 is still able to be innovative in their content delivery.
  • Unclekoolaid, on 03/16/2008, -6/+1gratz rev 3
  • jayadelson, on 03/16/2008, -1/+81Normally, we don't comment on rumors and speculation about acquisition. But no. (What is it with you people? You're giving me a heart attack.)
    • aburd, on 03/16/2008, -1/+13I like how about once every 3 months you are stuck in a situation where you have to say "normally we don't comment on this stuff but..." At this point shouldn't it be "normally we shoot these comments down and thus..."

      Personally, I enjoy the communication though.
    • Atomic1fire, on 03/16/2008, -3/+1So is it No as in Nothing is coming up at this time(aka Yes but we wont announce it yet) or no as in No such deal we are not sold or will be
    • Ryudo2k9, on 03/16/2008, -1/+4Thank ***** god! thanks Jay I had a heart attack also as this just screamed G4 take over of Tech TV all over again.
      • BrandonSh, on 03/24/2008, -0/+0Even if it was true. I don't think CNET could screw it up THAT badly.
    • affanjam, on 03/16/2008, -2/+3how about my offer $57 000 001.00 Canadian
    • msbeckman, on 03/16/2008, -1/+3haha i agree, this has become a normal thing. You should just get get rid of the normally "we don't do this" part. I for one am thankful this isn't true. I too almost had a heat attack. Cnet would really ruin rev3
    • stevennutz, on 03/16/2008, -0/+2Thank you for the clarification. I opened up DIGG and nearly shat myself :|

  • iMike360, on 03/16/2008, -3/+1I think its fake. Or at least its not official and will not happen soon.
  • UtopiaInTheSky, on 03/16/2008, -3/+2Aren't CNET the same idiots responsible for that GameSpot "Kane & Lynch" scandal?
  • FormatC, on 03/16/2008, -5/+1Rose is RICH BITCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
