With enough tentacles, you never have to stop patting yourself on the back
AOL TimeWarner has it's own site, complete with an annoying Flash movie and an exceptionally vacuous Mission Statement from Steve & Jer. I kinda prefer PigDog's take on the matter: For just over $100 billion, AOL is now responsible for deciding how to fuck you over on cable internet for the new millenium. Now why don't they just say that in the New York Times? Probably for the same reason they don't cover the secondary effects of the energy crisis on California agriculture.

How many, really?
In his keynote on Tuesday, Steve Jobs said that 70,000 beta testers had contributed in some way to the final version of OS X. My question is, how many actually wrote code that's running in the new OS? One complaint I heard from developers at Macworld was that Apple had a highly restrictive orifice through which "input" to the OS was allowed. Something about filling out forms. I just wonder about how "open source" Darwin (the Unix layer) really is. "Listening" is one thing. Adopting is another. Does anybody know?
