New AOL assimilated by the Microsoft Borg
From the Inquirer - [link|http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=9802|AOL assimilated by the Microsoft Borg]
Everything indicates that the new head of the AOL division wants to pull the plug entirelly on Netscape. Yes, AOL might be assimilated by the Redmond Menace. In exchange for pocket change, AOL seems pleased to surrender the browser market, and about to decide to throw away their biggest assests, their technology investment and technological independence, down the drain. Put in military terms, they are about to destroy their tactical weapons and wave a white flag.
Restore honor and dignity to the US. Impeach Bush, NOW!
