AOL Lays Off 450 In California

bmarklein writes "AOL has laid off 450 in California. The former Netscape campus is going from 675 employees to 300. The San Francisco office, which they obtained when they acquired Spinner (now Radio@AOL), and which housed Nullsoft after their acquisition by AOL, is being closed along with an office in San Diego. 100 employees have been offered jobs in Virginia or New York. No word on how this affects products like WinAmp. Justin, are you out there?"

    Please call 1-800-884-9510 from a pay phone. Look at the spam I got in my email box today. I called the number and they readily admitted they were spamming people.
