Although this article is presented in a negative tone, it actually paints a really interesting picture of what AOL can become.

[Fortune.com] - AOL's Formula: Does It Add Up?:

AOL would like to charge customers $159 per month for a variety of services, including broadband access, home networking, music subscription, mobile and voice services, games and entertainment. If they're able to pull this off then AOL at $27 (today's stock price) doesn't look like a bad deal.

[Fortune.com] - AOL Time Warner's New Math:

Good in-depth analysis of AOL Time Warner's evaporating market cap. Where did it go and how does it affect both the company and it's shareholders? Is $27 such a good deal?

[PC Magazine] - Pole Position:

Last week, the Supreme Court ruled on the use of utility poles, and its ruling could substantially reduce the price of high-speed Internet access. When setting prices for pole attachments involving Internet access, utilities were ignoring FCC regulations. "Internet access uses the same wire, whether it's coaxial cable or optical fiber, that's used to distribute the television video signals," continues Johnson, "but even though utilities were charging $5 to use a pole for video, they were charging $35 to use the pole for Internet access." In the end, this means people could be paying less for high-speed Internet access. Also, if the FCC begins regulating such pole attachments, far more companies could be willing to offer Internet access, increasing competition.

I'm testing a new way to post items, with the posting time above the item with a light gray background. It should make each individual item easier to see.

Ok, I kinda see what happened. Radio placed links for both images into the wizzy editor. The one on the left was the one with the valid name, the one on the right was the first one (although now it shows only as a placeholder).

Ahá! I updated the Radio root and now the picture pops up in the wizzy editor. However, it is left aligned and makes typing text really hard (text gets covered by the image).

The good thing is, my wizzy editor changes are still working!

NOTE: After realizing what was going on I edited this post, clicked on the non-existing-image placeholder and deleted it. Presto! A working post!

Still no picture, and the wizzy editor keeps popping up (it's window becomes active).

Could this have something to do with my previously changing the "system.verbs.builtins.html.editor.wysiwygEditor" code? Dave???

Well, I'm trying to get the new myPictures tool to work, but something's wrong. It's uploading the file alright, but it's not showing up on my editing home page. I'm running IE 6 on Win XP RC1.

This is what I did:

Created an image called "galipán_sunset.jpg" (note the accented character) and placed it in the "Radio Upstream" folder.

My home page poped up, with an empty wizzy editor.

I checked my "images" folder and the picture was there with a different name (there were some weird characters in place of the accented one). I removed the file from my local images folder and placed a new one called "galipan_sunset.jpg". It uploaded properly, but still nothing in my wizzy editor.

I'm gonna post this and see what happens.

[SatireWire] - Tired of being isolated and ignored, Australia decides to move:

After what witnesses described as an all night blinder during which it kept droning on about how it was always being bloody ignored by the whole bloody world and would bloody well stand to do something about it, Australia this morning woke up to find itself in the middle of the North Atlantic.
