Ars Technica (;
Latin-derived for the "art of
technology") is a technology news and information
website created by Ken Fisher and Jon Stokes in 1998. It publishes news, reviews, and guides on issues such as
computer hardware and
software, science,
technology policy, and video games. Many of the site's writers are postgraduates and some work for
research institutions. Articles on the website are written in a less-formal tone than those in traditional journals.
