In 2006 the site was acquired by Dutch publisher Verenigde Nederlandse Uitgeverijen (VNU).[2] Mike Magee later left The Inquirer in February, 2008 to work on the IT Examiner.

The magazine is entirely Internet-based with its journalists living all over the world and filing copy online.[3]

Scoops

Sony Laptop Battery Scandal

In 2006 The Inquirer reported laptop battery problems that affected Dell, Sony and Apple as of September 2006, with rumours of problems at Toshiba and Lenovo. In June 2006, The Inquirer published photographs of a Dell notebook PC bursting into flames at a conference in Japan;[4] The New York Times, and others,[citation needed] reprinted The Inquirer's photographs.[2] The Inquirer was also the first publication to report Dell's subsequent decision to recall all 4.1 million of the faulty batteries, according to BusinessWeek.[citation needed]

The Inquirer''s successful reporting of the story relied on information supplied by readers and later by a confidential source at Dell. "I attribute being on top of the story to old-fashioned print journalism standards — cultivating, and, if you'll excuse the pun, not burning such contacts," The Inquirer's founder, Mike Magee, told BusinessWeek.[5]

ATI Intel front side bus license revocation

On 24 July 2006, The Inquirer wrote that, in response to AMD's announced intent to purchase ATI, "ATI had its chipset license pulled, or at least not renewed by Intel."[6] ATI responded by stating that its license had not been revoked and that they continue to ship Intel chipsets under license.[7] On 23 August 2006, ATI showed its chipset roadmap to motherboard vendors which showed that next-generation chipsets for the Intel platform are cancelled.[8] On 1 March 2007, AMD said that they would continue developing chipsets for Intel platforms.[9]
