In one of the best April Fools pranks this year, the GAIM
developers reported that they were "bought out" by AOL so that they are now working on AOL products
and working against the same Jabber that they were defending just a few short days ago. And I was
completely fooled at first :) And I'm still a bit worried that it may not be a prank, but I'm hoping
that the fact that all this happened on April Fools day is not just a coincidence. It's funny how
the two stories that delt with AOL (with them supposedly buying out DalNet and then GAIM) are the most plausible, since it just makes
sensee that a huge corporation like that would try to buy up everything it could, including the
competition. I'm sorta suprised AOL hasnt' done that already actually.
The final game of the NCAA championship is being played tonight, Duke vs. Arizona. I unfortunatly haven't
been paying as much attention as I would have liked to the tournament, partly due to being away on a
cruise during my favorite part, the beggining when they play a ton of games in such a small time
period.
Mandrake Forum has gotten a new look and new system.
It's nice to see a company that actually interacts with it's users and uses their input to help make
their product better. I feel as though I actually make a difference by posting what I think is good
or bad about Linux Mandrake.
