AOL-Time Warner's Money Pit
ElitusPrime writes: "There's an interesting analysis of the recently released balance sheet net worth of AOL Time Warner. The net worth of the largest media conglomerate on earth has now been slashed by more than one-third. The conclusion, not surprisingly, is that the merger never should have happened. But there's some interesting financial analysis to show exactly how bad the merger has been for Time Warner."
That's four things. And none of them are "very popular" to slashdot people. AIM is a worthless PoS that has wormed it's way into people's computers only because Netscape installs it without an option to prevent it.
ICQ, well, ICQ is just completely worthless -- I pay more attention to my email than I do ICQ. Hello! Email. Telephone. Cell phone. Pager. (That would make ICQ and AIM both lame excuses for a telephone.)
Winamp was dead as soon as AOL took over. I've not downloaded or used winamp for a long time now (well over a year.) Real jukebox 2 has the best organization of content (now ruined by the Mac clone UI of Real One)
Mozilla? You're joking right? I've never met anyone who liked the pile of shit that is Netscape 6. I'll buy 100 copies of Windows 3.1 before I bother with that load of crap. Bloatware at it's finest. (Go buy a copy of Opera.)
