  1. Review - NewsBin Pro for Windows NT/2000/XP

    4.0 Pre Release (May 2, 2002)

    Newsbin Pro is an excellent app and 4.0 is the best of the bunch. I highly recommend paying the fee because they are very good to their paying customers (free upgrade from 3 to 4).

    Great Program - Look forward to the full version!

  3. Comment - AOL Time Warner Board Strips 'AOL' from Name

    The channels - HBO and Cinemax - are both owned and run by HBO - the sub of TW. Cinemax was actually the first multiplex channel.

    What the hell are you talking about? pathfinder.com was actually a huge portal before the merger. They just rolled it into AOL. I also recommend you visit HBO.com. Time Warner is also far more than magazines. Maybe you have heard of Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Sopranos, Madonna, and so on. AOL was a dying business that tricked a blue chip into merging with it. TWs stock was 70 before the merger and now is at like 16.

    Only the original copyright holder can release the code under GPL. An angry employee would not likely be the original copyright holder. It is basically like saying if I took a book and crossed out the authors name and wrote mine.

  6. Comment - 'Blue Hawaii' Becomes AOL 9.0 Beta

    If you are following the company you would realize that these are all things that occured at AOL before the merger. They aren't a reflection at all on the current leadership. Time Warner got pretty well raped and wraked over the coals by AOL and are paying for it now. The problems with these accounting adjustments is that the numbers are really bulls*** to start with so it is hard to come up with a better bulls*** number.

    Are you referring to the one time accounting adjustment (writedown of Goodwill and other Intangible Assets) of around $45.5 Billion dollars that AOLTW reported as of 12/31/2002? If you are then I suggest you take an accounting course. EBITDA is a better indicator and last year AOL alone had $1.8 Billion in earnings and AOLTW had around $8.7 Billion. So far this year they (AOLTW) have reported $2.0 Billion in EBITDA of which $400 million is AOL.

    EBITDA = Earnings Before Income Tax, Depreciation, and Amortization
