  But AOL knew a threat was approaching. Broadband internet was gaining momentum. The problem? AOL’s business model was built for the old internet. The slow, dial-up world. To compete with broadband, AOL thought it needed something it didn’t yet have: World-class content. A merger with Time Warner would give AOL access to some of the most valuable media properties in the world. Together, they believed they could dominate the future of the internet.

  My dad replied to news about my girlfriend with a green check mark. Honestly, appropriate. Our generation only writes well over text because we had to get good at it to date. AOL Instant Messenger, then years of practice with the stakes turned all the way up. His generation never needed the skill, so they never built it. The thumbs up isn't him being short with you. It's the whole sentence.

  How much longer are we going to allow AOL to hold the "Power of the Purse?" Not to mention maintaining a say on American/ Foreign Relations, Ammendments to Federal Laws and the making of both Public and Administrative policys? It's just plain stupid. Bucket loads of Dumb **** .... That's what's it is. And she's dumping it all over US.....AH?

  AOL and Time Warner didn’t just pay for what the two companies were worth in January 2000. They paid for what they believed the two companies could become together. The announced merger was valued at roughly $350B, with AOL shareholders expected to own about 55% of the combined company. The logic was easy to understand: combine AOL’s internet business with Time Warner’s media assets and create value neither could generate alone. But there was a financial problem hiding inside that logic. Future synergies are uncertain. The merger closed in January 2001. SEC disclosures later put the acquisition cost at approximately $147B. Then came the accounting reckoning. In 2002, the combined company reported a $98.7B net loss, including a $54.2B goodwill impairment. That $54.2B was non-cash. It did not mean the company suddenly paid out $54.2B in cash. It meant the value previously assigned to acquired goodwill could no longer be supported at the same level. That distinction matters. When you pay upfront for future synergies, you are effectively putting a price on value that still depends on execution. If the synergies arrive, the premium can make sense. If they don’t, shareholders can end up carrying the cost. The most expensive synergy is the one you pay for before you prove it exists.

  The truth is stranger. Long ago in the 90's there was still magic in the world every time you wanted to get on the internet you had to electrocute one fairy. Just one. Unfortunately disconnects were an issue. Slowly, one connection at a time, we fed all of the magic creatures into the gaping maw of oblivion to power our ICQ chats and AOL instant messengers. At least until Human Energy Update 3.9 Service Pack 2. Now every time you log in you just lose a little bit of your own soul, no fairy deaths required.

  @DylanMcD8 I had one and it was the hottest thing my junior year. My school had just gotten WiFi and they hadn’t blocked aol instant messenger. I’d still have it if some dude hadn’t broken in my house :(
