Time Warner to Spin Off AOL?

Posted by timothy on from the concerted-effort dept.

image77 writes "The Washington Post is reporting that Time Warner is considering spinning AOL into a separate company via an IPO. You might recall that AOL bought Time Warner for over $100 Billion in 2001, and then went on to lose almost that much in 2002."

    Remeber when:

    S3 (who at the time made graphics card cores for the midrange)

    purchased Diamond Multimedia (who at the time was a OEM that sold graphics/sound/scsi card made with parts from companies like S3)

    renamed themselves Sonic Blue then sold off their graphics core business.

    WTF?!

    Come on mods... that wasn't off topic at all. Haven't you seen that stupid AOL ad where the guy's dumping crap on the guy's sandwich?

    Sure, it's a dumb commercial: nonetheless, GP asked "why pay another $15" and Parent told him why. Ergo NOT offtopic.
