If you had $4.4 BILLION in Cash...

Verizon Communications on Tuesday said it would acquire AOL for $4.4 billion in an all-cash deal that will see today’s king of mobile phones acquire the one-time king of media.

Verizon is the largest mobile phone operator in the country, and has growing lines of business offering high-speed Internet, as well as business and streaming video services.

AOL, which acquired Time Warner for $165 billion in what is broadly regarded as a debacle and the high-water mark of the dot-com bubble, is now a shadow of its former self, managing a small collection of media and technology properties.

Verizon is billing the deal as a way for the company to expand its video offerings. Already a leader in distributing mobile video through its robust national mobile phone network, Verizon is making a push to become a leader in so-called over-the-top video, shorthand for television content distributed through the Internet.

That's it? If you had a $4.4 billion dollars, you'd do two chicks at the same time?

I'd recommend the deck at the Skyline in Epoufette for that Bob. Check on Backpage you should be able to arrange it in minutes. With the motel only $45 you can afford a nicer class of girls.

Let me recommend Jessica & Alexia for your 1st time, they won't be too rough on you.

I know someone who has used the same AOL email account for 20 years. I can't understand why.

so.. you're suggesting that Spartan Stadium isn't the best in the country.. and neither are our football and basketball players?

As far as our players, if they were the best in the country, wouldn't we be National Champs yearly? Yeah, I'd be a bag man for Izzo and Dantonio if they wanted me to.

So, you've left Delaney off as a reason why for what reason? Yeah, always knew you were a Wolverine. No Spartan would leave Delaney off the list for reasons we don't win Championships yearly.

Because email is email.

Exactly, this isn't 1998 where you get a CD with the software and pay $10 or $20 per month or whatever it used to be. I don't use AOL, but I know people that do, and it's just like having any other free web based e-mail like gmail or yahoo. You can easily set it up in Outlook, on your phone, etc. I looked into it last year when my previous free e-mail provider stopped offering it. I went with gmail, but it does make me a little uncomfortable adding that to so much else that Google is ingrained in. I probably should have gone with AOL if for no other reason than to not give Google too much of my internet life.

I don't have a personal email.. I should maybe get one at some point.
