How is it that AOL shares had 37% left to lose this year?

I heard the AOL voice, plus that little puff of un-cropped static at the end.

I can't tell if you are joking or bad at math. I suspect the former, but you can never be sure in these times.

In any case, as far as I can tell AOL seems to be mostly running on the subscriptions of people who don't realize that they don't need it any more and small bits of piece of the online ad-market not gobbled up by google. Sooner or later enough people will either die of old age or cancel their accounts to sink the whole enterprise. Like a decommissioned satellite, they are just running on inertia at this point and friction is slowing them down. Soon the will have slowed enough that their orbit will decay and they crash all the way back to earth in fiery landing.

"Hard decision as I'm leaving a bunch of awesome people -- working on some very good stuff -- but decided it was time," Garlinghouse said in an email.

I thought execs were supposed to tweet this kind of stuff these days.

What U did there, I C it.

What will this mean for Prodigy or GEnie??!?!?!
