This post from Mark Levin: Poor Patrick 05/09 10:21 AM The rehabilitation of Patrick Kennedy has begun. No, I don’t mean his recovery from his various additions. I mean his political rehabilitation. Get this drivel from today’s Boston Herald: Patrick Kennedy is carrying a torch for a now-married ex-galpal and his broken heart may be the reason he’s gone off the rails, friends say. He’s lonely,” said one of Patches’ Rhode Island pals. “He’s a mess, and it’s really sad. It really is.” Word is that Patches pines for his ex, Tatiana Platt, an America Online exec he dated for...

I know, this isn't exactly politically or socially oriented, but I've exhausted the web for help, and you guys are my last resort. I'm trying to figure out why I can't print ANYTHING from AOL... I can open a page in another browswer or save a picture elsewhere and print with no problems whatsoever, but when trying to use the "Print" button from within AOL, I get nothing. I've searched all over AOL's website, googled every combination of "AOL" + "Print" you can imagine, and I get nothing. (Well, except for other people who seem to have the same problem,...

My daughter's AIM screenname just sent me a message that said "check this out," followed by a link with what looks like a television station, "wgutv," in the URL.Clicking on the link leads to a site with a picture of Osama bin Laden, with the headline "OSAMA FOUND."Fifteen seconds after I clicked on this link, my daughter sent a message that saying "don't click on any weird links my screenname sends you!"So I refused to accept the applet for this video and exited the site.Problem is, my daughter did not send this link. The message did not show up on...

NEW YORK, Feb 5 (Reuters) - America Online on Thursday said it will let users of its instant messenger service communicate over a live video connection for the first time, months after federal regulators lifted limitations on the company.

In an attempt to streamline its business, America Online on Tuesday consolidated its California operations, cutting about half its software development positions and shuttering two offices. Of the 450 people who lost their California jobs, 375 were in Mountain View, 50 in San Francisco, and 25 in San Diego. The layoffs affect more than 2 percent of the company's total work force of about 19,000 employees. AOL offered 100 of the affected workers employment in its Dulles, Va., and White Plains, N.Y., offices. No senior management positions were included in the layoffs. AOL said the San Francisco and San Diego...

By Julia Angwin and Martin Peers, Staff Reporters of The Wall Street Journal NEW YORK -- AOL Time Warner Inc. (NYSE:AOL - News) is moving towards dropping AOL from the corporate name, returning it to "Time Warner." In a surprising twist, management of America Online has been lobbying AOL Chairman Richard Parsons to drop AOL from the corporate name, arguing that the online service's brand name is being hurt by the identification of the corporate woes with the service. Mr. Parsons is considering the division's request, say people close to the situation. AOL's board is scheduled to meet late next...

Company’s attempt to use own software brings headaches NEW YORK, March 22 — America Online is the world’s most successful Internet service provider — except, apparently, in its own house. IN A humbling reversal, AOL Time Warner Inc. is retreating from a top-level directive that required the divisions of the old Time Warner to convert to an e-mail system based on AOL software and run by America Online’s giant public server computers in Virginia. The drive to get all the company’s 82,000 employees to use AOL e-mail was an attempt to give symbolic resonance to the marriage of AOL and...
