Walter's Weblog

... Go Gators! ...
We'll, I've cleaned up the blog a bit- turned it into one.. GIANT scrolling monster.. with only the stuff older than blogger and time in the archives... Which if you've never read, I suggest that you do :). Ahh, well.. theres always a link or a news story or something that prompts me to blog... well, without further ado, I present to you this story about a flying pig. It will make you smile, but feel bad for the people who were along for the ride ;). According to this news report, the latest version of AOL doesn't allow you to change the default start page in their web browser!!!

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! I KNEW IT!!! :).. They really are evil... just think what they'll do when they find out I've been using all those CD's they've sent me as coasters.. (almost to #10!).

Anyways its pretty sick... "AOL maintains that the new interface [without the homepage button] resulted from member feedback that showed AOL subscribers wanted fewer complications when using the service." Thats right, they've been programmed to want less complications... everything must be spoonfed, entertainment, media, hollywood, life!! Its soooooooo very complicated to have that home button on my taskbar Mr. AOLTW man, it makes me feel uncomfortable to know that I have a choice... can you make that choice for me?

I mean, c'mon AOHell, you can do better than that- I mean.. try not to be *so* blatant- I mean try to be as slick as your "purchase" of Netscape. What is AOL doing with Netscape?? NOTHING!. I mean, they certainly aren't using it as their web browser (They use IE [perhaps b/c they are still under contract with microsoft.. but still guys...]. They aren't improving it- It still sucks. Ok, mabye they are doing something but I can garan-damn-tee you that its not for the good of the people! They only bought Netscape because they wanted to help Microsoft kill it off... by buying it, they could effectively neutralize it. If they could just open their instant messaging network up, and allow other people to provide cable modem service a la DSL, then mabye I could forgive them for being Microsoft part 2! (I'm gonna buy stock in the O part of AOL after it gets broken up)... evil evil Steve Case! Evil!
