Bloomberg hires tech reporter from CNN

Tom Giles, U.S. tech team leader at Bloomberg News, sent out the following staff announcement earlier this week:

Please join me in welcoming Mark Milian, the newest member of Bloomberg’s U.S. tech team. Mark will play a key role in the expansion of Bloomberg.com’s tech page, working closely with Marcus Chan and the rest of us to cover a broad range of consumer Web topics.
Mark joins us from CNN.com, where he focused on mobile, social media and video games. Before that, he was a staff writer at the Los Angeles Times, where he covered gadgets, the social Web and, occasionally, music and celebrity culture.
Mark is the author of an e-book, Letters to Steve, about e-mail exchanges with the late Apple co-founder, and he holds a degree in journalism from the University of Maryland. A New Jersey native, Mark’s computer skills include HTML, Javascript and Dreamweaver. He wasted no time breaking news for us. On his first day out of new-hire orientation, he scooped Dow Jones and other outlets on PayPal restricting accounts suspected of March Madness wagering. He starts in San Francisco the week of March 26.
