No disclosure on how much it paid.

That's a really interesting acquisition - will we next see Nokia or Dell ponying up to buy the mobile or the PC channel on CNET news network? ModeLabs Group said the deal is meant to help it "develop its expertise in distribution via the Internet and its knowledge of clients' needs".
