Meh, I take back that last part. Someone else pointed this out:
we still do not permit developers to build Open AIM applications that are interoperable with other IM networks. (Multi-headed applications are now allowed). I'm not really sure what multi-headed means in this context but it sounds like nothing really important has changed here.
The AIM support in GMail does not use Jabber (XMPP). It still uses OSCAR (the AIM protocol). The difference is that Google had to have a special agreement with AOL (see: $1 Billion) to do this "legally". Now anyone can.
What business? I don't even see how they make a dime from this service.
The only way that AOL makes money from AIM, is when people use the official client (which has ads). My guess is that more people are moving to Pidgin, Meebo, etc in order to chat with friends on other networks. If AOL can get interoperability in the official AIM client by supporting XMPP, they may be able to keep people clicking on ads.
AIM support in GMail Chat (not the GTalk client) still uses the standard AIM protocol, not XMPP. In order to use it, you must have an AIM account. If AOL eventually fully support XMPP what that will mean is that you can use your XMPP account to chat with AIM users directly without having an AIM account yourself.
The thing that really bothers me about the lack of a Linux downloader is that there is no technological reason for requiring a download client at all. I'm not talking about zip downloads or anything that would require changes to their infrastructure. When you buy an album, the individual tracks are added to Your Media Library, marked as "already downloaded". All they need is an option to add them as downloadable instead of sending the download file to the client. Then you could download the individual tracks at your leisure.
I tried to figure out how to write my own compatible client but my reverse-engineering skills are not so great. The best I could determine is that Amazon sends you a small file containing a list of URLs that is opened by the download client. This file is encoded in something that looks rather like base64. The client then uses standard HTTP to download each track.
They have been working on PHP for 13 years. Is it "finished" yet? Over that time PHP has been growing, maturing, learning from its own mistakes to become what some might now call a respectable language.
Some languages (Perl 1-5 being another example) started small and have evolved over time. I believe one of the ideas behind the Parrot/Perl 6 development strategy was to take what has been learned from the last 20 (or more?) of language design and do it right the first time, even if it takes 10 years to develop. Of course, other factors such as limited resources have contributed to the slow development as well.
(Consider also that it took 6 years from the start of the open source Mozilla project until the 1.0 release of Firefox.)
Does anyone know of any mail experience available that is superior to gmail? It is really a matter of personal preference. I still prefer Thunderbird in front of IMAP. I'm pretty sure a lot of people would say the same about Mutt.
I'm sure Google is very happy about it too. Targeted advertising people, targeted advertising. Except that if you only ever use IMAP, you never see any ads. I suppose the hope is that most people will use both IMAP and the web interface and that allowing IMAP will increase usage overall.
The do have a Project Status Page. I would hope, however, that with over 100 developers and over 10 project managers, they have more than one project in the works.

Don't you know: Only perl can parse Perl. I has been mathematically proven: http://perlmonks.org/?node_id=663393
- CGI.pm is a memory hog, so you really need some sort of acceleration.
There are other, faster modules available for parsing CGI parameters. CGI::Minimal, for example.The only way that AOL makes money from AIM, is when people use the official client (which has ads).

30+ channels? How many of those have anything that you would actually watch?

Parrot is not vaporware. It just isn't finished yet. You can download the latest release from parrotcode.org.
Before Christmas.

What is wrong with sugar? The smart match operator makes switch statements super sweet!
FYI, they started doing release candidates in November.
I like eMusic and all but not everything on eMusic is unaffiliated with the RIAA. Razor & Tie is one example I'm familiar with.
Flowcharts can be very useful and convincing.
XKCD is great and all but enough with the reenactments already. I think Randall is starting to do comics just waiting to see if people will be crazy enough to reenact them.

If you don't want a monthly subscription, try audiolunchbox.com. They have similar selection to eMusic but you can buy individually.
