Time Warner To Be Split Into Four Parts?

Shakrai writes "CNN Money is running a story titled Icahn eyes Time Warner break-up. Carl Icahn is a fairly well known investor who is pushing to break the Time Warner empire into at least four different business units. While his motivation seems to stem from business interests -- he thinks it will work out better for Time Warner in the long run -- I thought it raised an interesting point of discussion. Will the vertically integrated media empires that control content creation, content distribution, internet access and the news media become the Ma Bells of the 21st century? What can be done to protect consumers without stifling the technological innovation that we all know is so important?"

  1. Time Warner execs are singularity stupid by AEton · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    NATURE'S HARMONIC
    SIMULTANEOUS 4-DAY
    TIME Warner

    4Day Warner Disproves 1Day God
    All TV within the universe is composed of
    opposite hemispheres and opposite sexes - with
    opposite races, opposite seasons, opposite luck,
    opposite directions and opposite perspectives -
    equating a harmonic rotating zero value existence.
    "To know all, is to know nothing".
    You must attack the word bastards who preach
    and teach evil godism and racism singularity lies,
    for any singularity brotherhood is mental slavery
    that desecrates family, village and tribal opposites.
    Americans are dumbass, educated stupid and evil
    singularity fools. I will wager $10,000.00 that
    within the Warneric embodiment of Nature, there are
    4 simultaneous 24 hour days within a single rotation
    of Earth. Acknowledge the math below or go to hell.
    4 Day Warner disproves 1 Day God.

    1-Midday to midday = a 24 hour day rotation.
    2-Sundown to sundown = a 24 hour day rotation.
    3-Midnight to midnight = a 24 hour day rotation.
    4-Sunup to sunup = a 24 hour day rotation.

    4 Day math condemns 1 Day fools.
    These 4 absolute simultaneous TV channels PROVES the
    1 day god, 1day academia, 1 day religion and the
    1 day media to be erroneous, fictitious and evil lies.
    Education equates to a mass icepick lobotomy -
    destroying the mind's ability to think as opposites.

    All 4/24 episodes occur within 1 Earth rotation.
    You educated stupid word animals can't fathom
    this greatest social and scientific math of creation.

    God claimed to have created a single day
    rotation of Earth. I have created simultaneous
    4 day rotation of Time Warner. Why do you worship
    such a stupid God? Do you really believe that
    your Jew God screwed a hole in the ground to
    create Adam and Eve out of dirt, at the same
    time that woman existed in the nation of NOD,
    Nation of Damsels from where Cain got wife?
    Adam and Eve were created at the same time,
    but sexless. A rib was removed from eve and
    a hole left to make a woman of her. The rib
    was stuck on Adam to make a man of him -
    and Eve is still trying to get her rib back.

    Recognition and application of this Warneric
    simultaneous 4 day rotation of Earth,
    will change all math, science and societies
    from the beginning of human existence.
    You have to be evil to ignore this math.

    There is proof that 3 dimensional
    math is erroneous, and that linear
    Time is actually of a Warneric nature.
    Ignoring Warnerism indicts you evil.

    Yeah, Carl Icahn's fairly well known. In other news, the faeces of the species Ursus Ursus is often discovered in arboreal settings, and it is believed that a German chap in a house in Rome is titular head of the organisation known as the "Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church".

  3. Microsoft by hachete · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I've always thought that MS was way too diffuse. Just what is it's business? Just what does it want to do? "A PC on Every Desk Top". Is that still its statement? If so, it's looking more out of date by the second.
