Will be interesting to see just how far this goes.
Not content with providing one of the worst internet services in the history of TCP/IP... it's nice to see AOL branching out... into potentially the worst free mail service.

God willing they'll find a new gospel which states that it is 'bad form' to take money from the faithful, establish church's worth billions and then proceed to sit on said wealth for all eternity.
Not convinced I'd want that style of lighting everywhere around my house as it stands it'd be like living in a large supermarket.
I'd have to invest in some hardcore lift music to complete the 'still out shopping' effect. And perhaps pay a young relative to scream and be slapped periodically in the middle distance.

Hardly news this has been common knowledge all year.

The PSP Hacked: Elf to PBP Wednesday May 04, @07:42PM Rejected
Twas rejected :(
I think it was PSP Hacks who had it first too. And WD reporting on it a few hours later as a headline.
Good start for dev on the PSP - which was only a matter of time even if reported late and without accuracy.
