Quote of the Day (Oct 15 2003 04:13 GMT) - Is not prayer also a study of truth,—a sally of the soul into the unfound infinite? No man ever prayed heartily, without learning something. But when a faithful thinker, resolute to detach every object from personal relations, and see it in the light of thought, shall, at the same time, kindle science with the fire of the holiest affections, then will God go forth anew into creation. —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803 - 1882) |

AOL Devours its Young (Oct 15 2003 04:07 GMT) - ...I'm intrigued that AOL opted to use Netscape. Naturally the AOL brand can't be tarnished by direct association with a value service. And when free-to-air ISPs became the rule in Europe, AOL launched a free service under the Netscape brand [Jupiter European Internet Research]. Very interesting to see history repeat itself here a few years down the road. But AOL has CompuServe, and the Journal article says they even tried using that brand for the value service, but Netscape tested better. |
