The Register is a British technology news website[1] co-founded in 1994 by Mike Magee and John Lettice.

[4] The Register was founded in London as an email newsletter called Chip Connection.

Magee left in 2001 to start competing publications The Inquirer, and later the IT Examiner and TechEye.

The Register carries syndicated content including Simon Travaglia's BOFH stories.

On 6 February 2017, The Register linked a clock signal issue in Cisco hardware to a serious defect on Intel's Atom C2000 series processors.

[21][22] Around 3 January 2018, The Register broke news about Google's long-ongoing investigation into Intel's processor design, which revealed that a serious flaw in the design of their chips would require Microsoft, Apple, and Linux developers to release patches for their operating systems.

[23] On 12 October 2010 Martin Robbins of The Guardian accused The Register of misunderstanding climate science and misrepresenting a paper from the journal Nature in a manner that deliberately minimized the climate impact of human emissions.
